Lots of stuff going on this week. Whether it's a coincidence or a consequence, I'm feeling emotionally raw this morning, if that's the right word to use to describe it. I downloaded watched this week's episode of Lethal Weapon last night and as I watched the episode at the library this morning I found myself empathizing with feelings of sadness, betrayal, loyalty, to the point of tears. Yet at the same time, I'm feeling no empathy for someone sitting nearby who was disturbing me speaking loudly, shaking the table, and in general showing no apparent consideration for how he was disturbing me. So maybe it's more accurate to say that I'm more aware of my own pain this morning.
My natural inclination is to be analytical and list all the stuff going on and try to figure out what the heck is going on. But I'm not going to do that. And maybe that's going to be the most significant change of the week. I once read that when you're down in the pit, bleeding, your first impulse will be to try and stop the bleeding, and it's important to resist that impulse.
I still need to make dinner for tonight to take to the park, but I think I need to skip the normal internet routine today.
