It’s about friggin’ time, is all I can say. \u00a0Even though I continue to sit on pins and needles as I await the end of the testing phase, for the first time in three months I had something to be hopeful towards in regards to the Gulf oil spill. \u00a0In viewing an article earlier today about the Indian Rupee finally getting it’s own monetary symbol<\/a>, I clicked to go to the home page and saw their newest article<\/a>, updated a scant 11 minutes before I’d seen it.<\/p>\n

I quickly began searching<\/a> other<\/a> news<\/a> articles<\/a> and turned on CNN<\/a> to see, with my own eyes, that the camera trained on the oil spill was, for the first time, void of oil spewing forth.<\/p>\n

I almost couldn’t believe it, and of course, sobered as I heard it could be a temporary situation as pressurization tests are underway. \u00a0Ah, but that’s alright. \u00a0I don’t think anyone expected such immediately positive results so quickly, especially since it’s an integrity test. \u00a0What’s important right now is that true, positive progress has been made in containing the situation. \u00a0I know my nerves will be on end over the next few days as I await the final results of the testing and capping of the spill and I can only hope that it remains continually positive.<\/p>\n

Because, quite frankly, we need to be over the containment process and move on to the pressing need to turn more attention to the massive clean up and, eventually, helping more people be able to go back to work.<\/p>\n

I know I haven’t written any journals on the issue before today, so it may seem strange with this article coming out of the blue, but just chalk it up to the fact that I suck at writing journals consistently, lol. \u00a0I and my family have been very affected by the oil spill and I feel no shame in admitting that I cried today just at the thought that the spill had, for the time being at least, stopped.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
