I have two questions for you.
Does anyone else have...strange, vivid recollections of things that happened over the weekend, but no physical proof when there should be?
Such as, say, someone very important to you that you hadn't seen in years, giving you something very important to them to keep close and then...waking up with both them and this item missing?

My second question.
How do you distract yourself when your usual methods are not working and you really, really wish they would?
I thought knitting would do the trick as usual, but though I've finished many of my projects, it's far too mindless.
Definitely not doing the job.

[[Oh. First filtered text regarding this matter. She has to wonder if he's in a bit of a bad way over this entire ordeal.]]

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I'm going to hazard a guess that you are none too happy about it.

Work certainly sounds like a viable option, but I'm not sure if I want to interact so much with people just yet.
That second option should honestly have been an obvious one to me, considering how often I advise people to do the same.
Go me.
Something that requires a lot of thought...hm.

If I remember correctly, it was an interesting weekend. I think you were there briefly.

It's common for people to not consider taking their own advice when they aren't used to being in the position of the people they advise.

If you like, I could put together a few crossword puzzles. [They will be impossible crossword puzzles that you might need to work on for weeks, but they will distract you.]

[[Understandable.]]

I believe I remember that as well. Possibly.
That part is a little blurry.

Common or not, it still doesn't me no good.
I suppose that's the reason of having friends who will return said advice.

Crossword puzzles? I think I would like that.

[[Impossible they may be, she will enjoy the challenge.]]
