Random jottings about today
Feb. 2nd, 2003 01:08 amI was woken up by someone calling to tell me about the Columbia shuttle burning on re-entry, much like I was woken up late by news of September 11th. Somehow, I hoped that someone survived, even though I knew no one could survive the fire and the impact. There was this heaviness throughout the day, so much I ditched plans to go to the movies so I could play solitaire and listen to news coverage. I tried to remember how to pray for the departed.
Funny thing, I don't remember how I felt when Challenger went down. I was so focused on school, I felt nothing, no effects on me. It was far away, like anything not in my house or school.
A woman offered games and emotional support, but I ended up not going. I wanted to be alone, maybe see her in better times.
Later, I went to get new boots, since my Doc Martens have taken a beating. I might get new ones with my next paycheck, or even part of my refund (if I get it). I found out that I am actually a larger cup size than I thought. Much larger. That's how my day went.
