'Touched'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
If anyone has a nice non-shooty game that I could play on my laptop without spending a ton of money, I would welcome recommendations!
Carcassonne, a port of the tile-laying board game is quick, can be played either against he computer or online, and is only $3.99 on Steam today>
What the hell is a Maundy, anyway?
Work wasn't on the surface that stressy but my emotional and physical reserves were hella low, so I trudged my way through with pretty much dogged determination.
Too bad I don't get a three day weekend. But at least I do get a weekend...

If you have an iPad, Gwent is kinda fun. It's sort of like Magic: the Gathering, but in the Witcher universe.
Theo! I have the answer! The rector of my church is sending out daily reflections and a recent one had this:
It's called "Maundy" because of the new commandment (mandatum in Latin) that Jesus gives his disciples, which is to love one another.
So, "love each other Thursday"? Huh.
I'm feeling good in that my brain weasels aren't saying I'm horrible and awful, but feeling bad in the "don't want to do anything or get out of bed" way. I definitely prefer the lazy over the horrid self-talk, but my inability to do even normal things like laundry (much less learn a new language/clean the house/do a project) is gnawing at me.
Yes, but maintain your distance. To that end, the Pope is not doing his customary foot washing. (My church usually offers it as an option ... which I have never taken them up on. ick)
We did foot washing in Sunday School when I was in high school, and honestly, it was pretty powerful.
And not just the smell!
I'm having trouble dealing with suddenly not having a plan at all.
This is difficult for me as well. Like meara, I am struggling with laundry which shouldn't be that complicated.
I'm sorry for the delays, JZ. They are so emotionally fraught.
Meara, the thing for me is that there is no right way to respond to a trauma like we're experiencing. The more we can just let ourselves do whatever it is that brings comfort (Stardew Valley!) the more we give ourselves the room to grieve and heal.

Paperwork got processed and we're planning on a funeral tomorrow.
Of course, I don't have black pants and no way to get them in time either.
