Doing a little better today.  Made it through work but it was pretty boring.  I got a letter in the mail from the attorney I interviewed with last week saying he hired someone else, no big surprise.  I made gyros for dinner last night and the kids loved them.  My son didn't make it last night because he went to an Orioles game with his friend, so I have his leftovers in the frige for him to pick up after work tonight.  He's been having a hard time just like me.  Of course, my counselor warned me that it could get worse before it got better.  The weather here is beautiful and I've opened the house back up and it feels wonderful.  It's supposed to be like this for at least the next week, so I'll save on my electric bill!  One day without crying, now there's an accomplishment.  Maybe the meds the doctor prescribed are starting to have an affect, or maybe it's just that things might start getting a little easier from here on out.  I'm looking forward to fall but dreading the holidays.  My good friend keeps telling me I need to start a new tradition this year without Gene, so there's something to think about.  If it wasn't for my son and the fact that he doesn't get anytime off, I'd hop on a plane with him and spend the holidays somewhere else, but I can't leave him here all by himself.   Two days of work down, three to go.  Hope it gets busier or else I'll be pulling my hair out!
