Distractions

Old movies. Junk food. Data entry on the job. Smiling along with work colleagues. Anything to keep my mind occupied while I work through this (inter)national mourning period. I have very understanding partners and managing directors at work, always willing to lend an ear, but I'm just not certain I feel like talking. Gearing up to visit Mom tomorrow, speaking with my uncle each Friday, trying to keep in touch with as many relatives and friends and acquaintances as I can, knowing there is strength in community. Thanks for being there and being patient with me.
