A very long weekend

jon_chaissonFor those playing along, I've been in Massachusetts for the last five days and just came back home to SF late last night. I am physically and emotionally exhausted and I called out from the Day Job today to recharge.
My father's calling hours were very well attended by at least 50-60 people -- relatives, friends, neighbors, coffee buddies, even an Elvis impersonator he knew -- and it was great to see so many of them. Quite a few I had to ask their name as I'd known of them but had never met them in person. It was also great to see a bunch of the old neighborhood gang paying respects. Most of the trip itself was just visiting my family, who are holding up well. And when I was back at my hotel, I mainly spent most of the time getting caught up on novel revision.
How do I feel? Well, as said, I'm exhausted. Not in a bad way, just drained from having to go through that as well as having to deal with several hours of crappy New England winter weather that I haven't dealt with for almost two decades. It took a lot of will power to get through it all. There's also the fact that I've been surrounded by several people in a short amount of time so I really should take a Covid test at some point today.
I should be better today if I take it slowly today. I have nothing planned other than laundry.
