A Mixed Bag

Today's been a Fema day. While I was on the road coming home from Shreveport, my cell phone rang. It was a Fema representative who wanted to know if I wanted a travel trailer. I was surprised, as I've been trying to get in touch with Fema for a while with no success. However, this wasn't the call I was hoping for. I explained to the woman who called that I didn't really want to live in a trailer in my neighborhood, since we won't have electricity for another eight months. And anyway, since we have an apartment, we'd rather stay put, particularly if we could get our rental assistance. She didn't know anything about rental assistance, but gave me the main number for Fema (you know, the one that's always busy).

In happier news, when I got home tonight, I checked my checking account balance and saw that we finally got the $2300 in rental assistance! Just when I had given up all hope of ever seeing it, Fema finally came through. Now, if we could just get the city's workers to stop by our house and give us a dot....
