Home - crashed and mourning

OK, so I'm not trying to be all depressing but it's been a tough week. I'm still somewhat crashed from the PhD course, and from mourning Merlin's passing and then a friend drove me to Ely, MN where I used to live. That was good. It was good not to be alone all week, surrounded by Merlin memories (which are in every corner of this house) and crying myself silly. There were many folks in Ely who knew her as a pet or as a sled dog and so it was nice to share memories, but also just be distracted.

But any travel (even a 3 1/2 hour drive) can drain me. So I had some OK days health wise and some really crashed ones. Especially the last three days. I tend to have a window in the morning where I feel better, but the last three days the flu symptoms and fatigue have been setting in by 10:30am and lasting right through until evening where I again have a small reprieve.

Now I'm back home which is hard....but time helps....
I'm just hoping I can recover from this crash.
