Tapped Out
June 10, 2008
I’ve just got nothing today, folks. I’m sitting here thinking that I need to post, that I could write about today’s work, or the craziness already overtaking the election season (”Terrorist fist jab”? I just can’t get over that one), or the dinner party we just attended, or any number of other things.
I spent the afternoon writing condolence cards to the husband and (fully-grown) children of my mother’s closest friend, who died last week. And that process left me drained. She was a wonderful woman and I’ll miss her a lot, but she was in her eighties and had been ill. Her death, while sad, was not really a tragedy. Still, as I wrote the cards, I found myself tapping into my own memories of losing my parents many years ago. That may be why I have nothing left for the blog.
If I were to use a mood tag today it would read “melancholy”. I’ll be more chipper tomorrow, and I’ll write a better post.
Today’s music: Pat Metheny (One Quiet Night)
