The city where I live was escalated to level two.
Several hours ago I packed up my already packed bags, my cat, my dad’s cat, and some other things into my car, and then I made my way out of town to evacuate. I am safe and settled, so please don’t worry. I’m extremely grateful that I had somewhere to go because so many people don’t right now.
I am also scared. The chances that my parent’s home will burn down is unlikely, but I am still scared. I’m relieved that I sent in my packet earlier today so that the next few days can be devoted to managing my mental health and monitoring the situation. I’m hoping that things don’t escalate from here, but there’s no telling what’s going to happen.
2020 has been one fucking year, ya’ll. It’s been one hit after another. But I also recognize that things could be worse. I’m grateful for all the beauties I have. I’m also heartbroken over the losses.
That’s my update. Be safe all.
