It has since been updated for accuracy of links and content.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can read the dramatic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/victorian-bush-fire-diary-february-7th-day-one\/\">Day One of the Victorian Bush Fire Diary<\/a> here, and the entire collection of posts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/category\/australia\/victorian-bush-fires\/\">here<\/a>. <\/strong><br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Victorian Bushfire Diary: Thursday, February 12th, 2009 \u2013 DAY SIX<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal has-medium-font-size\"><strong>12:20am<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">We have accepted the generous hospitality of some friends who happen to have two dogs and a cat. Although the animals spend very little time in the house, I go to bed to an awful allergy-induced asthma attack. And where is my inhaler? At the home we evacuated almost a week ago, of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">To give Kelly (and the rest of the household) some respite from my coughing, I retreat to the car to sleep. Or rather, I SIT in the car, as the seat is so old that it doesn\u2019t recline at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So I sit bolt upright, coughing and wheezing, feeling incredibly sorry for myself.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal has-medium-font-size\"><strong>1:45am<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I return back to bed having gained control over my coughing fits, hoping that the allergy pill I took an hour or so ago kicked in.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal has-medium-font-size\"><strong>2:00am<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Just as I start to enter la-la-land, my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/cell-phone-travel-basics-international-phone-plans-sim-cards-and-more\/\">cell phone<\/a> rings. It is the Toronto Star, requesting a story about my Victorian Bushfire experiences so far. To make matters interesting, they are requesting the story by 5pm Toronto time \u2013 seven hours from now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I try to go back to sleep, but the combination of (long-expired) allergy medication and the glass of wine I had before bed has made my mind and body race. And then I start coughing again, my allergies obviously putting up a good fight. So I resign myself to a sleepless night and camp out in the living room with my laptop and my headlamp.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal has-medium-font-size\"><strong>5:00am<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I try to get some sleep on the couch, for fear of returning to bed and waking Kelly again with my allergy-induced coughing fits. I end up snoozing in fits for one hour, before the household arises fresh and ready for a new day. This is the first time in my memory that I have not slept for an entire night and faced a full day. I am curious to discover how I will manage.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal has-medium-font-size\"><strong>9:00pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The day is a total blur. During the morning (while it is evening in Toronto) I correspond back and forth with the Toronto Star about the article I wrote overnight and sent to meet their deadline. I am told that since the editor had called me in the middle of the night, she didn\u2019t know if I would actually understand her request or even write the article(!), so it turns out that the article won\u2019t go to print until the next day. Boo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I also spend most of the day in inexplicable tears. I want to go home. The morning news of the fire situation is good though; this is the first day that no townships are under direct threat of fire. I wonder if we may be turning a corner, and if we might be able to return to our home. Sadly though we discover that it is still not safe and we are still Alexandra-bound; a crushing blow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I berate myself for crying. I know I have so little to truly be upset about in comparison to the people who have lost loved ones and homes full of memories. This in turn makes me even more upset, sending me into further fits of tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">I see a friend who is fighting the fires on the front lines in Taggerty with the CFA, who travels into Alexandra for some supplies. This is the first time I have seen him since Saturday. He is different. When asked how he is, the best response he can muster after a long sigh is \u201cI\u2019m pretty fucked.\u201d I can only imagine; in fact I CAN\u2019T imagine the things he has seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Finally by 2pm my friend Bob grabs me by the arm \u2013 sobbing mess that I am \u2013 and takes me back to his house nearby to sleep for a few hours. The fatigue is so tremendous though that although the sleep helps, I don\u2019t feel refreshed from it. I do, however, have better control over my fits of crying. Small victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">After finishing our day at the warehouse after 8pm and having some dinner, we are lost as to where to stay for the night. I still have no inhaler to rely on and am nervous about returning to the place we stayed at last night for fear of another allergy-induced sleepless night. Not to mention the ominous cloud of dark smoke emanating from their direction which makes me want to run screaming in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">So at 9pm, we sheepishly knock on Bob\u2019s door and ask for a bed for the night. We are cordially taken in and given a wonderful mattress in the study (as they are billeting a few others as well who have the spare bedroom), and are in bed by 10:30pm. I climb into bed looking forward to a decent night of sleep. Hopefully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Day 6 of the Victorian Bushfire of 2009, I stay up all night writing an article for the Toronto Star on a tight deadline, and I&#8217;m a mess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":383,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-australia","category-victorian-bush-fires","resize-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Victorian BushFire Diary: February 12th - DAY SIX<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"On Day 6 of the Victorian Bushfire of 2009, I stay up all night writing an article for the Toronto Star on a tight deadline, and I&#039;m a mess.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/victorian-bush-fire-diary-february-12th-day-six\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Victorian BushFire Diary: February 12th - DAY SIX\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On Day 6 of the Victorian Bushfire of 2009, I stay up all night writing an article for the Toronto Star on a tight deadline, and I&#039;m a mess.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/victorian-bush-fire-diary-february-12th-day-six\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"The Professional Hobo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/TheProfessionalHobo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/TheProfessionalHobo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2009-02-19T23:36:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-06-19T11:42:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/img_2807_1.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Nora\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@hobonora\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@hobonora\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Nora\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\\\/victorian-bush-fire-diary-february-12th-day-six\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\\\/victorian-bush-fire-diary-february-12th-day-six\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Nora\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.theprofessionalhobo.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/3612a97b585d5fe7ee0d08ec78f05232\"},\"headline\":\"Victorian BushFire Diary: February 12th &#8211;
