Cleaned the house this morning, did lunch and a movie this afternoon (The Bone Temple, which I found gory, scary, hilarious, and quite moving), and have been working on and off since then (mostly on).
Work keeps coming. That's mostly good, but it is tiring (mentally) and the list is making me anxious.

On the phone with my mom today, she told me how the funeral home delivered a book they had made with pictures of my dad.
When she asked me "What's new with you?" I couldn't answer her at first. I didn't want her to know I was fighting tears.
But I had to say something even as I knew my voice would betray me.
"That just got me," I said so softly that I couldn't believe she heard me.
"I know," she said. "It's very hard."
Later she said, "You know what's hard? Cooking for one."
