Two Approaches

My sister and I are handling my grandfather's death differently. She went to work. I called the bookstore to tell them I wasn't coming in. Nothing would have gotten done, too much inside my head, and I would have been asked all night by my co-workers how I was feeling. My sis is going to help out my grandmother tomorrow. My plans are still in the air. I'm not sure what I can do plus I still don't know what I'm feeling, thus the previous post "uncomfortably numb." It sounds like the funeral will be on Monday.

A time like this calls for comfort food. I've started with a box of Raisinets. Sweet chocolate and chewy raisins remind me of simple, fun times watching movies. It makes me feel good during this tough time.
