My place of business has been destroyed, so needless to say my upcoming HRT initial blood work appointment is almost certainly going to be pushed back... seeing how I've just joined the unemployment line.
On the bright side I am alive and I'm not homeless like countless others. Additionally I've been able to get in touch with most of my family and friends and so far so good on that front, granted some of them lost homes... which is unfortunate but at least they are still alive.
Joplin looks an absolute war zone right now, don't know what I'm going to do for money... but consider myself lucky all things considered, as there are people that have it a lot worse. Range Line which is the main commercial part of town has buildings down everywhere.... a hospital was damaged to the point of having to be evacuated and people left and right have lost their homes.
I'm Atheist... so won't directly ask for prayers, but if you feel so inclined then by all means don't hesitate to do so.
I ask that you all please keep my home town in your thoughts, this has been a tragic tragic situation.
