My car is finally ready, I'll have to be creative to be able to pay for the deductible to get it tomorrow!

I had a job lead last week that sounded promising-I sent my resume and made a follow up phone call today. Keeping fingers crossed on this one, it pays really well-double what I was expecting to find.

I wanted to spend today not seeing any of the specials/documentaries on TV about 9/11 but Rick wanted to watch EVERYTHING even the presidental address. I just wanted to spend a normal day doing normal things and be thankful that I could.

I spent time doing laundry while Rick was watching the shows and while walking through to put laundry away I caught a video of one of the people who fell or jumped from the WTC.

That image has always put the whole thing into perspective for me. It makes it personal, it makes me hurt, it makes me sad, it breaks my heart and it makes me so %*#@ing angry.

I know what you mean about being angry over those videos, it's like a mixed sense of sadness and fury.

hey good luck with the job..and i also know what you mean about all the 9/11 stuff. I was still back in malaysia and working as an intern, on call at night, when it came over the radio or tv, but i'll never forget where i was or what i was doing at that time. Even though i came to the states only in late 2003, it's all very real to me, and still affects me. *hugs*
