Divisions and Precisions

Things are starting to settle

Things are starting to settle down around here. The funeral was last Thursday, and since then we've mostly been resting and recuperating from the last two weeks. I went back to work today. I never would have believed how glad I was to go back to work. It was good to go back to normalcy.

I'm working on a journal entry about all of this, but it's hard. Harder than I would have thought. Add to that a book deadline coming up within the next week and a general sense of laziness, and it might be a bit before I get it posted.

In short, I got in touch with my family again. I've been emailing cousins I haven't spoke to in years. It turns out I can't go to DragonCon after all, because I used all my vacation time the week before Grandma died. So I'm going to a family reunion Labor Day weekend instead.

This has been a very powerful, tiring, /important/ experience for me, if that makes any sense. My priorities are shifting again, I can tell.
