Sometimes, I believe I choose to live in my own little world. I avoid the news, the radio, newspapers. I don't want to, sometimes. It's like I know something is coming and I have to avoid it.

I finally heard the news yesterday.

80,000 dead. And the numbers are rising. And I feel faint and weep.

I KNOW I avoid the news. And I am not one to sit in front of CNN for prolonged periods either.
For the most part, the news bites.
And the scraps of footage they have they play over and over...its too much for me.
I sat in the grocery store parking lot yesterday weeping as I listened on the radio-I couldnt hold it at that point, although I'd already heard,it just keeps getting sadder.
