It is sad to have Carol 6000 miles away, but the deep sense of darkness that I have been experiencing was actually my first tropical storm. I didn't even know. Thing got real dark, the power was spotty and everything just kind of felt heavy. I missed Carol. I barely went outside and Keppy was cool with it. We cuddled in and missed Carol. The lady that owns the house checked in a couple of times. I assured her that Carol would be back soon and that I was fine. Then the sun came out and I went out to the beach and saw that things were significantly changed. I turned on the news and learned that Santa Catarina, the state that I am in, was digging out from flooding caused by a cyclone. Who knew? According to the internet, everybody knew. The news has been full of it and folks on twitter were concerned. It's a good lesson for me to connect during the work week. I should at least check the news every day. On the bright side, Carol's visa seems to be going through as planned and I won't need to spend many more cyclones oblivious and alone.
