A heavy heart new

The devastation and violence this hurricane has left behind is heartbreaking. My heart aches for those affected. I watch the news with a heavy heart and shed tears for those who lost their homes and family and everything they valued.

The gas situation in Pittsburgh is bad, too. I was lucky enough to fill up my tank yesterday for $2.69. Right now it's at $2.99. Like many others, I feel guilty for getting upset over gas money when so many people have lost everything, but it's hard to swallow.

I've noticed a spike in my IBS symptoms and anxiety, too, in worry over what the future is going to bring. It seems we've been hit with so much tradegy and loss lately. I pray that we all have the strength to endure.

Hang in there, everyone. We can gather strength from each other.

Here we are paying nearly $4.95/gallon and it's expected to jump to $5.88/gallon by the weekend!!!! Makes me sick!!! Why is this happening, there simply can NOT be a reason behind this no matter what kinda of excuse the government is providing!!!

...or isn't there a good day anymore? I heard that Weekends are the worst time...but maybe it will only keep going up no matter what day I get it.

I received a 30 cent raise this year and that won't even cover the increased price of gas! I'm really worried about how I will be able to live when prices are so widly out of control!

I don't know that there is a good day, especially now.

Gas in my neck of the woods is $3.19-3.29 a gallon for regular. My husband & I were going to go to Michigan to visit family next week, already having decided to skip visiting friends on the other side of the state. He kinda insisted we at least visit my folks, but if there are gas shortages, I am beginning to think it's wisest not to even leave town.

If I could walk to work, I would.

There is no good day to buy gas anymore. The station by my house raised their prices by 30 cents overnight. It is pure and outright gauging of prices. There is NO gas shortage. It is people panicking and buying gas all at once that is causing stations to run out of gas.
