Today is my birthday and I'm spending it in a hotel room, sitting on a chair that's missing one wheel. I still have no power in my house and my mother is refusing to leave it now that we're not in direct danger from the hurricane. Which, fine, it's her choice, but I needed to go because it was getting too hot for me to be able to stay. We're probably going back there tomorrow but some of the reports are saying we may not get power back until Thursday, so who knows what's going to happen.

I really just want to be in my room, with my cat right now. I'm trying not to be upset or sad about any of this, but I'm not really doing great at it.

I’m so sorry to hear all of this. I can only imagine how difficult it is to maintain any kind of even keel in the conditions you’re experiencing. I sure hope the power is back on sooner rather than later and you can be back home with your kitty in cool comfort.

oh, I am so sorry, this is no way to be spending the day. I hope that all of this is over soon and you can have a delayed yet no less lovely birthday soon!

*HUGS* Your feelings are so valid here.

*hugs* I hope the weather calms down so you can cool off and get power back sooner than later.

Sorry you have to spend your birthday like that. I do hope you can get your life back to normal eventually.

If being hit by a hurricane isn't sad and upsetting, I don't know what is! I'm glad to get the update though. I hope they get the power back on soon.

I'm sorry you're having such an awful birthday. I hope you get power back at home soon and you can have a more fun, if belated, birthday celebration.

*sending hugs* I think you get to be upset and sad about these things, although I understand also not wanting to let those feelings win. But it's a hard situation, and a hard thing, and it's ruining a day that (for many people) is supposed to be joyful and full of things you wanted. Getting the opposite sucks. I am sorry it was a lousy day.
