So, how is a "real" woman supposed to feel?

Today was busy. I woke up at 6:30 am, and after realizing I wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep, I was at work at 7:45 am. Lots of electrochemistry, a small amount of socializing and some recrystallizations later, the day dragged it's sorry behind to an end.
On one point of interest, the comic Lean On Me finally came to an end. It was sad naturally to see an online comic with which I'd so identified come to an end, but it felt good the way it was done. I have an archive of the whole strip which I am sure I will read from time to time and smile.
On another note, this is diary entry # 500. Fairly amazing that it is still going, but only from the point of view of some-one who had to start at # 1. It's about 3 years and two months since the first one, and I'm so very, very glad that I did start and keep writing it. "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it."
No further word from Miami, I guess they're getting the offer letter together. I'm a bit nervous about having to disclose "you-know-what", but we'll see if it can be avoided.

7:45 pm - Yay! A friend just called, and she's had some wonderful news, and I'm really happy for her. I hope to be able to give more details a bit later once I clear it with her to appear in my diary. ^_^

I just heard on the radio that two jumbo jets flew into the New York World Trade Centre Towers and another went into the Pentagon. I just talked with Red on the phone and I guess I can't really believe that someone would have the audacity to pull off a terrorist attack of such magnitude. It's staggering.
