*I’m reposting this from the Sanctuary*
I meant to post this yesterday, so no one would worry. I was taking a break because I overused the hand I had surgery on and needed to give it a rest to bring down the swelling. I also ended up needing a course of steroids as well. And then, as you know, all hell broke loose.
We are currently not in the path of any of the fires, but with the Santa Ana winds, that could change at any moment. When we went to bed last night, Studio City was on fire and that puts one on the other end of the valley where we live. I haven’t turned on the news yet, and frankly I’m a little scared to. To say this is an unprecedented fire event would be an understatement. We are currently surrounded by fires. It feels like the whole city is burning-it’s not, but it feels like Armageddon out there.
We’ve had several friends loose their houses. 2 in Altadena and one in the Pacific Palisades. We currently have another in the Hollywood Hills, whose house is possibly under threat. Several others have had to evacuate. My heart is absolutely broken for them and I’m emotionally exhausted.
We are thankful to be safe and will try to keep you guys updated if anything changes. Hopefully today is a better day, but the winds are expected to pick back up. Thank you all for your concern.
