Today feels easier for me. I seem to have gotten past the shocked phase and moved on to brisk pragmatism. I am sure I will loop back for some more grief and shock later, but it's nice to pace myself. Today I made a Boston cream pie, ordered groceries to be delivered, did some laundry and dishes, and learned that moles are hemophiliacs. I may even get some writing done before bed. So brisk pragmatism is largely a good thing today.
