Greetings from Richmond Hill

The internet & cable was connected today, so I'm finally back in touch with the world - and apparently there's a hurricane about to hit us...
After a harrowing Friday/Saturday, we arrived in Richmond Hill Saturday evening - I hadn't seen the house besides the few pictures Joe sent me & thankfully, I really like it
I've been here now for five days & I'm in a funk - feeling run down & grouchy - displaced & disoriented - I'm still thinking about Eddie's death - I'm finding even little setbacks here are frustrating - it's not helping that it's rained every day since arriving
And I'm ABSOLUTELY floored that our new county of residence, Bryan, has NO recycling program - not even the first collection site - those of you who know me, know that I am an ardent recycler - I was told there was a county recycling program & funding was discontinued for it - I cannot even fathom this - what wretched godforsaken place does not have recycling?

wow, no recycling?! that is surprising. I'm sorry you are in a funk, I think it just takes some time to adjust. I'm hoping we are going to get to swing by on Labor Day to see the new place, I'll keep you posted.

Hey, Mo--I heard an NPR interview on this very topic a year or more ago--someone in Savannah was protesting!
