We got lots of unpacking done today and the container is almost empty.
We can see light at the end of the tunnel.
It will be another month before everything is back to normal.
Some new furniture is still a month away, as is the campervan and we'll be having a garage sale to get rid of some stuff that we don't need any more, or had minor damage from January.
Still there are people in town whose houses are exactly the same now, as they were the day after the tornado hit.
Insurance companies are taking their time and have sent 7, 8 and even 9 different assessors to look at the damage and still there is no decision about what needs to be done.
The town still has a path of orange tarps on roofs and it's now 3 months since the disaster.
Something should be done about it. Who monitors these situations? Who is there to champion the cause? Why aren't the insurance companies being held accountable? Where is the media now?
Anyway, don't get me started!
I saw my first turtle since the tornado and was lucky enough to catch him coming to the surface for a breath this morning.
... and a lone paddle boarder just off our beach.
So now I'm off to catch up on some sleep that the sick dog deprived me of last night.
Today, I am grateful for beautiful Autumn days that bring cleaner air to breathe, clearer water in the river and an abundance of wildlife to observe.
Nite all.
