(no subject)
Ugh, we are lobbing emails back and forth trying to account for everybody. The waiting is hard, when you know 30something members of your community are dead.
G and I have overlapping lists, but one of the girls in the swing dance community sent out a message with the subject "please call" and the text "looking for Ryan and Troy." The core group of swing dancers is really close, so having a couple of the engineering boys missing is scary... I know Ryan and Troy, and really, really hope they are okay.
I am also a little annoyed that the president (of the USA, not of the U) tainted his "the families are in our thoughts" announcement with a reference to the importance of the second amendment. Yes, that amendment stands, but this is maybe not the day to trot it out.
I still feel sickly, and sick at heart. I took a hot bath and read a fluffy book, and am wishing 7 pm was a late enough bedtime... I cant handle much more of today.
Also, I am not going away - I decided it is important to stay in my community to be part of the community - keeping my lunch date with Dana, going to dance classes, and just being present for this tragedy.
