After my Dad passed away I got a very nice note from our friend Bob. In it he cautioned me to stay alert and pay attention, especially while driving. I think I'm okay driving, but yesterday afternoon was just ridiculous.
I left the office to go to the bank and grocery store. Halfway there, I realized I had left my cell phone at the office. I drove back to get it then realized I should've gone to the credit union to deposit rent. Rent of OPM as in Other People's Money. I went to the credit union and deposited the rent.
When I got to my bank, I filled out the deposit slip (reimbursement from Mom for Daddy's obit) and then couldn't find the check! Since I was next to Safeway, I bought the groceries, then went back to the credit union. Sure enough, I had deposited my check into my Viking Property Management account. It took them forever to reverse it and give me my check back.
When I started making dinner I realized that two of the necessary items I had purchased somehow didn't make it home with me. I'm sure I just walked off and left them. So back to Safeway I went, receipt in hand. Sheesh.
It was really nice to get home and relax. I'm going to take things one at a time today and slow WAY down.

in a weird way, that almost sounds like how i was right after Johan was born. while the experiences of birth and death are at opposite ends of the spectrum of human emotion, i think the magnitude of each affects the human psyche in comparable ways.
Interesting, I can see how births and deaths can affect people in similar ways, just never thought about it before.
