Is anyone else out there having problems concentrating this Monday morning? After the 3 rough days since Thursday, it is kind of hard jumping back to normacly.

I stupidly went to work on Friday, but lasted barely 3 hours. I've spent the weekend trying to absorb it, and today (at work) i just feel numb.

i've been returning to the org every 5 mins today, it seems.

i'm not on facebook, so this place is essential for me right now.

I was surprised this morning when I woke up, still thinking that this is crazy and unreal. I mean Prince? Really? It is just so hard to grasp even now. Someone made a comment to me over the weekend about if you are ever able to meet a celebrity that you admire, will it be a let down or will it be just like you had hoped. I had the pleasure of meeting him during the taping on the Rave un2 the Year 2000. It was more than I had hoped. He was so sweet and nice, and such a wonderful sense of humor. It was one of the best nights of my life.

I think this is a very good point.

.

Thursday evening was a daze.

.

Friday I was in bits and did nothing at work, but the gym was a welcomed relief as I got to listen to loads of Prince and have time on my own.

.

The weekend was tough and i stayed glued to the world's media.

.

Now Monday, reality really sinks in. It seems it has already happended too quick. Prince is no longer with us. Gone. The End. No logic. No reason. Just gone. The funeral was too quick and I am very much against a cremation. It's hard to think he isn't on the planet anymore.

.

It's too soon to have all this talk about the vault and a musical celebration. We need to grieve. We need time.

.

Eventually we will celebrate a legend.

.

My biggest fear is that people are going into Paisley Park and other places taking personal items.

.

I really hope all of his private possessions have been locked down.

Yep, the fog is real! The struggle is real!

Still cannot process and the silliest things set me off.

Hard to believe he is no longer walking among us.

Im glad im once again not alone. I didnt imagine it would be this hard to bounce back..

Woke up today, Prince still on my mind, and then sadness. I want these feelings of grief to go away, but don't know when it will. Didn't expect to feel this way.

feeling a little bit more accepting of Prince's passing away. Yesterday I went to one of the pacific ocean inlets in my vicinity and dropped some purple flowers into the water along with some tear drop shaped crystals (along with written words).

i whispered words to the memory of Prince. my spoken words are now in the sound sphere. I hope he heard them.

Prince Rogers Nelson will always be in my list of great love & he will be in my heart 4ever.

yes Monday met me feeling a bit better.

to u & u U from me, in the name of Prince.

It was better for me, going back to work after 3 days on my own at home and all. I'm beginning to accept the situation somehow, even if it still seems unreal.

to y'all

After this first normal Monday, I seem to get better in coping with it all.

Nevertheless the letter from Sheila brought the tears back.

It's a thin ice ... and it will be for some time.

I know one thing if Prince's fans sleepless nights are any indication of his soul's resting place then he has to be in heaven cuz its been at tough four night...I mean tough.

Perhaps the wrong thing to do, but......... at work today, to cheer my Monday up, I made it my goal to drop as many Prince songs into my day as possible. Nobody knew I was doing it and nobody guessed anything was not as normal, but I knew, and it was fun.

I managed to get 'Temptation', 'America', 'Adore', 'Clouds', 'The Beautiful Ones', 'Stare', 'Dirty Mind', 'Empty Room', 'The Slaughterhouse' and 'Bambi' in throughout the day. Tomorrow I'm going to go for even more.

here's some feel good memories on a prince-storical level. it's giving me some healing energy.

i hope it travels on to you.

(4 me, it's x 2 celebrate his life)

When someone close dies there's so much going on at once. Friends and family all gather to mourn and celebrate. Sometimes it's like a party. Sharing stories and memories with people we haven't seen or heard from in awhile etc. There's all this going on but after the funeral these friends and families go back to their lives and the reality sits in.

.

That's how I feel today. All the shock and buzz is settling. Over the weekend my wife said to me at one point that I needed a break. I felt like I had to keep in front of the computer or tv because I knew eventually it would all quiet down and everything wouldn't be 24/7 Prince.
