Wow. I get to look forward to this?

I understand after what's happened yesterday this course of action is necessary. And I am very willing to go through the trouble of packing for the flights I've booked most recently. And I'm willing to come to the airport hours before I fly. What frustrates me most is the the fear and paranoia that comes out of these terrorist attempts.

I'd had an awful dream of Heathrow last night. It was mainly a flashback to my stay there in the days after 9/11. The fear of having to find out from my little internet kiosk that any of my friends in New York were hurt. There was loneliness of thinking that I would lose contact with friends and family in the States and that I would never make it home..

I dreamt clearly of fear and sadness when I'd seen the cover of a London newspaper. There were pictures of people jumping from the buildings. I'd stood there for what seemed to be hours not exactly comprehending what was in front of me.

I don't know that I'm fully understanding what is before me now...
