Is This A New Record?

Hello! It has been 19 months since my last post and certainly I have done some writing elsewhere, but nothing regular and nothing to add to my writing Blog posts. I am such a failure!! My Dad died this month, on February 2nd, and the funeral was on the 16th, last Tuesday, and I am only just beginning to process it. I have had a Dad for nearly 61 years and it is very hard to realise that he is gone. Not helped by the fact that the past two years were desperately difficult to navigate as he was gone in some very profound ways, but still 'here' in some very actual ways. I am currently debating whether to delete my cache on this computer in order to speed up Safari, but it would leave me having to remember all my passwords and usernames. If I can make a list to help me do it I may risk it, but almost as soon as I started checking things out, I came across this blog and got sidetracked. I don't know if I am ready to lose any more just yet, so maybe I won't pursue it any further today.
Usually, at this point, I say, "well at least I've written something!" But I'm not sure if what I have written really qualifies as a something. For now I am abandoning any attempt to look sorted, even though I have said I will start picking up threads tomorrow. Maybe one part of me will do that  whilst another part of me sits on the shore and weeps into the sea.
