Feeling very grateful for our friends tonight.

The Clements dropped by some goodies and hung out for a few minutes. And we spent the afternoon having a late lunch/early dinner with Liz and Ali. Our dining room table is covered right now with flowers and cards and thoughtful gifts from other family members and friends. All offering their love and condolences for Coco. It’s really…wonderful. It helps, it really does, seeing and feeling that outpouring of support and sympathy. Makes me feel less alone.

Solid day today. I want a solid day tomorrow, too, so I’m not going to belabor the entry tonight. I’m wiped. Need sleep. Need to handle my business tomorrow to set myself up for a good week.

Wish me luck. Reaching for “normal.” Not sure if I’ll get there, but I can see it, at least. It’s out there. I’ll grab onto it eventually.
