My dad died last week. We buried him today. Sitting down to write and my brain is completely empty. Nothing flowing whatsoever.
Need a nap. Coffee isn’t cutting it today.

Rather than hiding in my darkened office during my break between classes, I took a walk around campus and went down to the river. Enjoyed the warm sun on my back and the laughter of kids playing on the playground. I need to take daily walks around while the weather is still nice.
Spent a good afternoon hanging out by a campfire with my oldest daughter. Enjoying a mild fall weekend.
