i took down the "library is closed for the rest of the day" signs on my way in to work today...disturbed at how life just pushes/shoves/prods one on.

i do not even know, today, how to begin relating how i feel about this attack of terrorists. i have no immediate friends or family that were killed, no immediate connection. soon the passenger jets will be lumbering through the skies again, replacing the sleek fighter planes of yesterday.

i am still, however, quite shaken...filled with a deep saddness. the 4th plane crashed about 75mi. away from where we live in pennsylvania -- most likely went just over head a few minutes before it crashed...a few minutes.

it was that close.

and i am extremely grateful that TT was not traveling this week...holy fuck.

yesterday we went to the central blood bank...

it was the only thing i could think of doing...to help.

*sigh*

last night, there were no dreams...i can only imagine how many nightmares were out there...crashing through the night.

*reaches out and hugs you, each and every one*

...kind of makes one take life a little less for granted today.
