Finding it hard to stop...

[alexpgp]

But I did, just a few moments ago.

I managed to do an entire additional page of the notes, which involve a heck of a lot more research than I like to do, but then again, I am charging a premium rate for the job (though I have been warned by Feht that the client is a slow payer).

Apropos of which, I need to call Drew tonight to find out if Denver sent back our letter of credit as they promised, or whether the message on the phone of the guy apparently responsible for doing so - to the effect that he was out of the office until tomorrow - means that the paper won't get sent out until... who knows?

I am just coming to realize that I am in a royal blue funk. I need to snap out of it.

Cheers...

Isn't 'funk' allowed to express itself?

You are NOT a computer, you know, though you might prefer that status to being subject to human emotions at times. Give yourself a break, man!

Hugs (if allowed)

Dearest, most gracious daphnis,

Just as emotions can and sometimes should affect our reason, I believe that our reason can and sometimes should affect our emotions, too. (I suppose I should add that I realize both such kinds of interactions can be beneficial or detrimental, and that being able to figure out which is which is part of the skill set of an artist whose medium of expression is the business of living, but I digress...)

I'll not try to suppress my grief over my mother's death; to do so would very likely not be healthy. But being in a generally lousy mood (grandiosely described in my post as a 'royal blue funk') is not a state that brings with it any particular value, as far as I can see, though at this juncture, the point is moot, as I have, I think, "snapped out of it."

Cheers...

P.S. Hugs are always welcome.

I agree with the above. You haven't even left LI yet. No one can go through what you've just gone through, and turn it off like a light switch.

Don't be so hard on yourself now, it'll just end up being worse later.

Thanks for the words.

I'm not trying to turn my grief off. It's that other feeling, the "down" caused by all the residual background stuff that I want to - and have, at this point - scotched.

Cheers...
