I woke up again today hoping Tuesday was just some crazy matrix-nightmare-took-the-blue-pill day...but it's not. It was real, and with every passing minute, it becomes more real.

It's time for me to move on! I've made my appointment to donate blood (though they'll probably turn me away--I haven't been able to donate blood for ages. I suppose I should stop getting my tattoo worked on, hmm? Oh, and being slightly anemic never helps), I've made my monetary donation to the Red Cross, and I've verified that everyone I know in New York is safe and accounted for. What else can I do? I feel more empowered than I did two days ago, when all anyone could do was watch CNN--but I feel slightly guilty about going back to routine activity. If things are still torn apart in the biggest city in this country, how can they be so...normal here?

Of course, our definition of "normal" and "routine" have changed. Last night, we began seeing planes in the night sky, laden with days worth of undelivered mail and packages--sort of unsettling to watch, though there's almost no chance that those same planes are also laden with suicidal terrorists, right? Also, this morning--when pulling into the parking garage (which happens to be in the brand new Nordstrom's Headquarters), I was asked for my driver's license and another piece of identification. Both pieces of ID were duly noted on a clipboard, and I was given an assigned parking spot--overly cautious, I think, but better than yesterday, when I wasn't even allowed in, as I was not a Nordstrom employee.

In any event, it's time for me to move on. I've done what I can--giving blood and money and prayer (which should send most of you into shock, hearing that I've offered prayer--seeing as how I'm the least religious person on earth. Also, I'm really not sincere enough for that sort of thing, the church-going and prayer-stuff. I don't have enough faith, but I scraped up some for this.)--what do I have left to give that would be of any use? If there's something I'm overlooking, please do let me know. Until I hear differently, it's back to "routine" for me.
