multipurposegoddessI was making coffee in the Aeropress this morning and remembered when stirring the grounds for 20 seconds was too damn long and I could barely do it. And I was working in the backyard yesterday and recalled that making one circuit out there seemed like a long walk just a little while ago.
Many people went out of their way to warn me about the emotional toll of grief, and to reassure me of the wide range of perfectly normal reactions (I would say "that's perfectly normal" lost all meaning from hearing it so many times, but it didn't start out with much meaning, really, normality being so far outside my concerns), but physical, I don't even know, exhaustion, maybe, was unexpected. It's a relief that it isn't permanent, and is receding without any particular effort from me.
