And we're off!
OK, so this is my first entry. I'm only doing this because journaling is supposed to be good for the psyche, and reflecting on my own life will be good for me to review.... plus, I type a lot faster than I can write by hand :)
So it's Saturday night, I've spent a fruitless evening in gay.com, and it's been a week since my grandmother died. I've stopped crying about it, and I'm going back to work on Monday. We'll see how things settle down after that.
It's been a very strange week, being off to deal with my grief, and having to do it at break-neck speed. Mom's coping mechanism is to handle everything as quickly as possible, so there's a lot of little stuff in my house from Grandma's house now, and stuff packed up to go to Salvation Army, and packed up to go home with Uncle Paul and Aunt Bette to Oregon. The place is an absolute mess, and it doesn't feel like Grandma's house anymore. It's very very strange. I'm kind of surprised at how fast I seem to have gotten over the loss, so I suspect there will be more down the road. Hopefully, when I go back to work on Monday, I won't have a ton of people all over me being terribly sympathetic and making me cry.
