It's weird that a happy person can be sad.

I have been sad since my visit to NYC when Andy died. It isn't at all unusual to be sad when you lose a brother, of course. The weird part is that I'm still happy. At the same time. It's just that the sad part is getting all the play.

I have been paralyzed with the sadness. I haven't done a whole lot more than prepare my food, eat it, watch tv and sleep since I got back to Syracuse. 

I've invested in new kitchen appliances - a replacement toaster oven that is an air fryer, too, and a full-size, full-power microwave, and a set of new microwave cookware, and a new carbon steel frying pan. 

Retail therapy.

But still sad. 

I've withdrawn from doing anything other than medical stuff (this is my season for that, I guess. Lots of appointments next week, and throughout July). I smoke pot, watch TV and cry a lot.

And still the happiest guy I know, except, not so much right now.

I'm grateful for my life. I'll be more grateful soon, I think.
