To understate: fire SUCKS.

I have not been able to go to work this week, nor will I be able to for the rest of the week. My school was in the area first evacuated, and sadly most of the families I know live nearby. My friends the Dawsons came over early yesterday am for refuge and Challah French Toast. (When tragedy strikes, make food.) Then they continued to another safe spot, so hopefully they're fine. The mom wrote this morning saying they had been able to go back to the house to feed the fish and it was still standing, but they can't actually go home yet. I assume, since the school is a block away, that if it had burned down she would've said something. I'm so glad I didn't take my frog to school last week like I was going to.
I've never been affected by a natural disaster before, and suffice it to say I'm a little gloomier than usual. Being at home is awesome, but being stuck n the house because it hurts to breathe outside sucks. Hooray for two days of doing nothing but watching tv and eating. My body fucking HATES me right now.
If the school survives, that's great. But I wonder what enrollment will be like. I wonder how the community will change...I know one of my co-workers has already lost her condo, and at least one of the families has lost their home. The only nice thing has been going down to Qualcomm, my roommate and I, to drop off blankets and pillows to help the people there, and seeing the outpouring of generosity and goodwill and helpful spirits was really good.
Fire is just the scariest thing. When I was little it was the monster in my biggest baddest nightmares. Remeber the Disney shorts, where Mickey and Donald and Goofy were firefighters and they had to chase all the mischievous little flames with little legs, running all over the place, hiding in corners and pulling apart ladders splinter by splinter? Nasty little things. Wathing this fire all over the news isn't much different. Disney may have cutie-pied it, but fire definitely has a life of its own, is definitely mischievous, and has a real bad attitude. This is some scary shit, I just hope everyone continues to stay safe and can pull together after all is said and done.
