Looking for distractions...

I now have the photo of Jim in my port. You can see it here, "My Jim" . Sorry if the facebook link was confusing.

What is amazing to me is how life goes on around me so normally, as though nothing has changed. My grass still needs mowing, the birds continue to eat from my feeders and drink from the baths, cars go up and down in front of my house, politicians continue to call at dinnertime, prerecorded, of course. Things are so routine. They don't know my life has a big hole in it. I look for distractions like what I am doing now. However long I can keep this going, I don't have to think about how my life has changed. I haven't turned loose of the hope that it's not really true. It's just some horrible joke, or a nightmare. I try to find things to do to keep from thinking, but the things get done and then....
