just a dream

A few things today.


1.
9/11/01

This day was terribly surreal.  I was only in the eighth grade, so I didn't quite understand the implications of what happened, but I knew that everything was going to be different from that day forward.  And it was.  The events that day and the actions of a few people rippled out so far and wide and affected things and people that we could not foresee and did not expect.  I'll never forget that day, nor will I forget the sense of togetherness I felt as a citizen of the US after we were attacked by terrorists.  This day taught me that as people, we have to love and take care of one another because anything can happen at any time.
Love thy neighbor.

Second thing is a present I got myself this week.  

Lady Gaga heartbeats.  I had wanted these for quite some time, so the other day I decided to just get them.  I love them to death, and yes, I have listened to a lot of Lady Gaga through them :)

Last thing is a meme.  Haven't done one in a while. :)

I love retail therapy.

I got some toys today courtesy of Corey :) He got me a much needed new screen protector for my phone and some new shoes!! I have wanted the shoes for a while. They are for work: Reebok ZigTech. In fun lime green. The following is just a picture from the website. Mine are silver in the main body of the shoe with lime green on the Reebok logo and the zig zag sole.

I got some obscenely neon socks to match them. Fab, I know. :)

I also had to get a new phone case today. My old one was too soft and didn't fit my phone snugly. It sat on the edge of my screen protector pushing it up off the screen around the edges every time I gripped the phone or really did anything. Thank you Best Buy associate for selling me a crappy case telling me it was a great one. So far the new one fixes the issues I had with the old one. I elected to spend my money at the Verizon store for that.

The new screen protector that I got is a Zagg invisible shield. It's what I had before, but that crappy phone case ruined it. I'm going to have Corey professionally install it so I should have a much better result this time. :)

It was fun both of us having the same day off together! He's back to work tomorrow, but I get a couple more days. Thank goodness. I may need it for when I'm back at the hospital all weekend. I'm afraid my good day being floated to telemetry may owe me some crappy days on med-surg.
