After one of the most emotionally exhausting nights I've had in a long time, I collapsed in bed and slept for about 10 hours, then woke up and logged on, and
_hannelore pinged asking if I'd heard what had happened in London. The Olympics? I asked. No.
Ran to check on my London friends. All had posted, except one who is on vacation out of the country.
Maybe it's the anger and sadness and disappointment of last night talking, but I feel more upset right now than I did the morning of September 11th. I think it's partly that the WTC attack was on such a grand scale that it was hard to even comprehend it, whereas the scale of this is more human-sized.
I feel sick. If there's anything I can do for anyone -- though I can't imagine what -- tell me.
