Weekend

It's Palm Sunday. Usually a happy time.

Still missing him. Met most of his family- they're great! I fit in well with them, of course. These last several days helping them clean out his apartment and put stuff in storage has been hard. Emotionally tiring. He would have wanted us to stay positive and up-beat. It's more difficult when the person who rallied up your spirits is the one who you're mourning and missing so hard. I am so very thankful he isn't in a coma or on life support, he would not have wanted that.

New Normal

Been a long time. Seems like I return when there's a transition. Right now I just need to ramble and this could be a good place for that.

I just feel a bit lost. The man I've been dating for the last several months just died suddenly and it's left me feeling so empty. I can't speculate that we would have worked out for a nice happily ever after but so far we've been happy and nothing, just nothing, about him didn't work for me. And this new normal we have to face during pandemic makes this so much harder. I'm left feeling helpless, as are so many these days. So lonely. I know life will get better. Logically, through faith and my normal optimism, I'll be okay. This all just sucks so bad. Feels like this could kill me. It won't. But not healed enough yet to sincerely smile.

It took 3 burly men to check the tire pressure on my car & air them up... I could have done it all myself but I don't have a nitro tank handy... Glad for help!

Today I "pet" a stringray! Eeeeek!

When you wear slightly uncomfortable shoes other things are much less annoying.

If I just work myself to tatters I might not notice, right? Just keep swimming...

Hard not to say, "Good night."

It's one of THOSE weeks. First reunion, then Sunday happened, they lost my service paperwork & key when got car oil changed Tues, now laptop died. I win.

It is like a small death to deal with. Loss of a best friend and supportive confidant.

Why is this so scary?

Why is the right thing so hard sometimes? Darn logic...

Well this sucks. Rip it like a band aid

Still learning daily how to treat gently those who could not care less about how they treat others. Think this is a life-long lesson...

Such chaos. Dealing with the tornado aftermath has been overwhelming...

Happy Easter!

At the WilsonPhillips show, woo!!!

Got a new phone! Woo! (Actually, has been a couple of weeks but just now remembering to tell the world) :-D

Totally happy to discover that Goodwill accepts styrofoam for recycling! Yay! I dropped off some today so it ISN'T a myth!!!
