My mind is in a million places and shattered pieces at once because of Hurricane Melissa. Sleepless. Trying to strategize routes for repair.

Many families & individuals face SNAP benefit cuts (read: are being starved) in November. Please donate to your local food banks. Money generally goes further than donated food because food banks can purchase in bulk.
