It's Friday
Sep. 2nd, 2005 03:34 pmToday, I sent out 5 ILL requests.
Today, I read the Database Design Lesson.
Today, I processed a dozen periodicals.
Today, my copy of Demon Under Glass came and I squeed.
Today, Obi made me cry, and I made a preacher and a church secretary cry with the story. He gave up his favorite blanket, one I'd made him, for hurricane relief.
Today, an MBA and his wife got emergency food stamps, a couple of apartment referrals and a lead on jobs for them.
Tonight, an extended family of thirty people will sleep under a roof, with a real meal and fresh water for the first time in five days. They will be able to enroll the kids and grandkids in school, get clean clothes and have showers. They will be able to find housing and work.
Tonight, fifteen people will sleep under blankets they didn't have yesterday.
Tonight, some kids will get a bedtime story, some grown-ups will play cards to pass the time, some older kids will play chinese checkers, some little girls will cuddle new dolls.
Tonight, some folks will be able to clean up well for the first time in days.
Tonight, there will be macaroni and cheese, 15 bean soup, split pea soup and rice going into 250 hungry folks.
I've had a busy day.
