They actually compartmentalize things and that's how they are able to function at work in most cases. Their brains are a mess right now and until things settle down for them, the wires tend to be crossed all over the place.
I do hope that your time w/friends was a pleasant one and today, you get to have dinner w/your son. He will be happy to be home, w/mom and his fur babies and a nice meal.
Enjoy your day!
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
