Sep. 11th, 2002 03:35 am( A horribly, horribly long post describing how we woke up last year. )
Now... it's a year later.
I still cry if I think about it too much. When someone I know and care about flies, I fret and worry that something will happen to the plane (even though my head knows the plane will be fine). When![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ldyicefire has the radio on in the car and "Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue" comes on, I want to smack Toby Keith in the mouth for singing it; those words do NOT represent how I feel about things. I still hate war. However, I'm alive... and everyone I know is safe & ok. And I'm thankful for that.
I'm not sure how today is going to be for me. Part of me thinks it's time to move on from the tragedy, to just treat it as a usual day. I'll probably do that for the most part, but I'll probably light a candle later today. I know it doesn't help the people who died or their families, but it feels like something I should do. Just something simple and quiet and unobtrusive to honor them.
It's now 4:54am here. I've taken nearly an hour & a half to write this post, but it felt important to me that I make it. Thanks for reading.

We shall find peace. We shall hear angels. We shall see the sky sparkling with diamonds. - Anton Chekov

Sep. 11th, 2002 08:22 pmI managed to be a little bit productive today. I made two risottos -- one mushroom, one cheese (since Nexus wanted cheesy rice the other day & I figured a risotto would be a good way to make what he wanted from scratch) -- and will use one of them for dinner & use the other one for my lunches this week with some green salad & maybe some crusty bread.
( my basic risotto recipe )
Back to work again tomorrow, then another day off.
