I am not going to write much tonight. I started getting sick at about 4 today. Nothing major, just a fever.
I feel like I made good progress today organizing things in logistics and speeding things up. I got lost in baton rouge today for like 2 hours....honestly driving around was the best thing all day.
There are people living in tents tin parking lots its nuts.
I am working full time in logistics with larry and jim. They are big time red crossers so I am learning a ton from them both. Logistics is the hub of everything, cars (I have one now I am sharing with a guy named bud with one good eye), food for the shelters, showers, medicine baby food, tampons, everything. The sheer volume is MIND BLOWING. Ten thousand baby sippy cups, golf carts, showers, 40000 bottles of water, laterns, insulin. Their are alredy almost two hundred thousand people in RC shelters. I spent an hour today buying supplies in walmart for a man that need XXXXXL, and no that was not a typo.
I continue to be so impressed with the people here, they just rock, well most of them, one lady freaked cause I borrowed her highlighter... She needs a nap.
Things I learned today...if u see an empty sink in a private place...bathe in it. I took a shower in the walmart batroom. I swear to god. I bought the shampoo there.
I am a bit home sick tonight, but I feel I am making a tremendous contribution, so its worth it.
Closing thought... If I have to eat jambalya one more time ill barf.

Remember one thing everyone you are in contact with has a story. Learn that story. Take from it and share it with others. You are growing by the minute and all of these daily challenges make you a more complete person. Your signature is more than a scribble on paper. Your signature is what you do and how you do it! Couldn't be more proud. Did you find the security paper?
If you still are having trouble go to the nearest bank and see if they have any security paper?
