Hard Weekend - New Week

The weekend was a hard weekend. Sunday it was a month that I lost Larry. I spent most of the day crying and watching movies (I watched at least 5 movies). It was a very hard day. I sure miss Larry. I didn't realize how much until Sunday. But it is over and a new week has started.

Yesterday I did such mundane things as washing, and cleaning house. I did some organizing of bathroom supplies (didn't get it all done but it is better). I organized my closet. I have now taken over both closets.

We have run in problems with the lift. We still don't have it. Greg, Cathy and I have all talked to them. You would think they would want to get rid of the 3 of us calling and would get us the information as to where the lift is. We have all asked for a tracking #. They say they have never had anyone ask for one before. They now say we should have it Friday no later than Monday.

Today was not a good day. First handling the situation with the lift and than my best friend called and said they found her grandson dead and her son has had a relapsed. My heart goes out to her. She and her husband have been so supportive during Larry's illness and his death. I wish I could ease her pain. I give her a great big hug.

These are not quite the adventures I had in mind but I know that life isn't always a bowl of cherries and that sometimes you run into pits. I hope we are getting the pits done now so we can now enjoy the cherries.

Not this weekend but next weekend is my trip to the beach with Cathy, Billy and Sarah. I am so ready and looking forward to it. I just hope I have the lift by than. I have plans to take Sarah to the aquarium and to a burger joint that has old fashioned pinball machines. I am looking forward to trying out Larry's camera and taking some pictures which I will share with all of you.

My daughter is having a lot of health issues of her own. She has my arthritis which is giving her lots of back problems. I wish I could help her, just not sure how. Our family is ready for some good things to happen to us. I am sure that things are going to get better for all of us.

I appreciate all of the support from my friends and family during this time. I am thinking positive that things will get better for my family. I know the bad times help make us appreciate the good times.

The puppies are great company for me. They are where ever I am. They still miss Larry but they have taken to watching over me. They have been really good about staying and not running out the door when I open it. They seem to sense I need their help by being good and obeying me.

Patta the neighbor and Chris the maintenance guy from my complex have been very helpful. Patta picks up after my dogs for me since I can't get out in the grass very easily. Chris has been there for anything I might need from unloading my chair to loading my chair and parking my van when someone else has taken my handicap parking spot.

I owe so many people for helping me during this hard time. I am not sure how I am going to repay everyone who has been helpful. I hope they all know how grateful I am for all of their support. When I get my apartment all cleaned and organized I hope to have them over for a cocktail party to thank them and let them try some of my new drink recipes.

Well I will write more later. Just know that I appreciate all of your support.
