My husband is off to take a look at our house today to see if things look good enough to come home. I told him that so long as it looks good and the air quality is sufficient, we may as well go. The kids are going utterly stir crazy around here. Separating our kids from their cousins would probably help a lot.

If anyone wants to get a good look at things, I found out that SDSU has a nice compilation of links for the fires.

Things will take longer for my sister and her family. They live in Ramona, and there’s no water there right now. The pumping station broke down. It’s going to be about two days before things are fixed, then they’ll be on a boil water order.

We aren’t watching the news quite so hard anymore. Short of a new fire or a big shift in the winds our homes should be safe.

It’s been a crazy couple of days and I’m really looking forward to getting home and getting my computer set up again. I’m lucky to have my mom’s to use, but it’s just not the same, and that drives me nuts. Along with all the waiting and worrying, of course.

We’ve been fortunate since we haven’t had to go to a shelter, sleep on a cot or on the floor or anything like that. Lots of people had it far worse, and will for a while yet.
