Btw, if you have not had tragedy dropped on you before, grief does fuck you up in unexpected and physical ways. If you can’t sleep or sleep more than expected or have more or reduced appetite, or energy goes weird— your brain just had a bunch of emotions dropped on it and sometimes it reacts by hitting every button in your brain. It will pass. Just try to not get too frustrated with yourself.
It’s also fine if you feel normal. Grief literally hits everybody differently, and some people are made to be able to to keep the farm going the day after a death, and some of us turn into sleepless gargoyles and get really into trying to help, and some of us are just unspeakably sad. Grief is weird. Be kind to yourself.
Something else I want to say is that grief is cyclical. It is very common to go “why am I just a wreck today/this week” and then you check the calandar and see that something awful happened at this time last year. Or a couple years ago. Or a decade ago (my decembers are a wash every year).
So if you find yourself having memory issues or unaccountably grumpy or anxious for no reason or however it hits you, be gentle with yourself.
cant stop thinking about how in portal 2 one of the science projects in the Bring Your Daughter to Work Day exhibit room is signed by chell suggesting that shes the one responsible for that giant potato and that at least one of her parents was an aperture scientist that glados killed

PROBLEM
My dad said somebody at the cafeteria ordered too many potatoes so everybody has todo a science project on potatoes now for Take Your Daughter to Work Day and lunch will be french fries. Mr. Johnson said we could use as many potatoes as we liked for our projects But I’m only going to use one. I asked my dad if I could do a different project because I already did a potato Battery project in class last year and he said no, Mr. Johnson would get mad.
HYPOTHESIS
Probably the potato will do the same thing it did last year for my class project, except mabe not because I had a new potato last time and this one is pretty old. My dad says his hypothesis is whoever ordered all the potatoes will probably Get fired
CONCLUSIONS
Last time my potato battery produced 1.5 volts. This time it got 1.6, so I guess it doesn’t mattir how old the potato is. The current from the potato battery did not produce enough volts to power anything important. if I usd more potatoes maybe I could have gotten more volts, but the one my dad brought home smelled and I didn’t want more.
