I can't believe that most workplaces only allow three days of bereavement leave! Thank goodness I'm freelance and Tim happened to have a vacation planned. (Sadly, it supposed to be a cruise with Dad.) Even after 10 days, I feel like there's so much left to do. And now that I'm back in New York, I've been struggling to get back on track. All of my editors have been so incredibly sweet and understanding, but it's time to play serious catch-up. Truth be told, large chunks of my heart and mind are still in North Carolina. My solution is just to take it one deadline at a time, and not to be too hard on myself. Another thing that makes it easier: Face-timing with Mom. We decided to get her an iPad and—miracle of miracles—she's actually learned how to use it. Well, there's usually a good five minutes of telling her to put her face in front of the device, but the fact that we can video-chat amazing. Hooray for Apple!
