So, I made it through the first birthday in 35 years without Hubster. One of our oldest friends has a bday a few days before mine, so she and I celebrated together. And the calls and messages still haven’t stopped. It’s not the same. It sucks. But it was better than I expected. #grieflife

There are so many memories tied up in this day, predominantly around watching it unfold and waiting to hear that my bf and her husband had gotten out safely, and fearing the worst. But..this is a lighter memory. Hubster and I had bought new living room furniture which would be delivered on 9/12.

One month ago today. 😥 The kids/grands came over, and we went to visit him in his new niche, then came back here after to reminisce. We can't believe we've made it a whole month without him. www.ohiocremation.org/obituaries/P...

I don't know why, but whenever I see the Portland coach, I think of this. 😆

Especially on a day like today, we all like having songs that lift our spirits. The ones where we could be going through it, hear the first few notes, look around and say "hold on, this my song." So what are those songs that always make you happy?
I went to Dollywood once when Hubster played there. It was nice. I honestly couldn’t tolerate her voice. But, if you asked me to list the ten people I most admire, she would always be #1. So much deep respect for that woman. She was simply the greatest.

I have been having a hard time remembering much of anything, even the last few weeks, about Hubster since he died. Today, an old, old friend and his wife stopped by and brought lunch. He spent 5 hours telling stories, some I didn't know (band road trips), but many more I instantly remembered. There
Calling the gas company.. AI Asst: blah blah blah.. Me: Speak to a representative Repeat 4-5x I lost count Sixth time AI Asst: blah blah blah Me: Speak to a representative, BITCH! AI Asst: Let me connect you Problem solved quickly by a lovely human being. Profanity works. 😆 #grieflife
I thought I might watch the #Sky game tonight. Then my neighbor invited me out for an after-dinner walk. Then we sat in the park and talked for an hour. Then we went to her house and had chocolate cake till dark and she drove me home. Now I’m thinking I might actually sleep tonight. #grieflife
So my friend called today and said, "Let's go to lunch then do the Sharon Woods Park Tram. It'll be relaxing and maybe take your mind off things a little." Um...😱

Said my last good bye to Hubster, my best friend and one great love, this morning. 💔💔💔
The only one I can think of who just put on a bad show and not was too wasted to be onstage (several of those!) was a female singer-songwriter whose name I can't recall. She spent her whole set messing with her hair and posing. Her band was great. Her songs were good. She was pretentious and awful.
Who is the worst artist you’ve seen perform live? I’m curious. 🧐
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face, and the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind..
There's nothing more in the world I'd rather have right now than a big, cold, crispy salad, but..since I'm the doer of all things around this place right now, I just can't take the chance. 😢
A new morning..7 hours sleep. No 2:30am panic attacks or doomscrolling. Cool enough for open windows. Hubster sleeping peacefully. Some blessed time for myself. Loving the 2 handmade (not by me!) mugs holding my tea and water. A better..no..a good morning. ☀️
I dunno..there's so much going on with life, and the #wnba just seems flat out toxic lately. It's damn depressing. I might just drop it. I'll have the NCAA, and Unrivaled and AU and Upshot, and I'll have more knitting time till those start. Just thinking about it..

Willard..that rat movie. I was 14. Went with a friend. We called my dad to come pick us up after 20 minutes. 😆

So..this is not a fun morning. It even smells smoky inside the house. We're both coughing up a lung. And I have to start giving Hubster chemo pills today. So probably not a fun day..or evening, either. Glad I'm not a drinking woman because I would be starting right about an hour ago.
As a morning person with SAD, not having the sun rise till 9am is going to put me right over the frickin edge.

I sleep the sleep of the dead. Hubster woke me to tell me when they got bin Laden. After I'd been up a while the next day, I told him I'd had the weirdest dream the night before..😆😆😆
I gotta sleep but everyone please take this moment as a prompt to check in with friends and make sure everyone is on the same page with your wishes: Do you want to be woken up when it happens or not?
YES!!! I was reading at a 12th grade level when I started 1st grade. Why? Because my mother read to me every day. She helped me sound out words so I'd recognize them if I saw them again. Every night, my dad and I read the newspaper together and did the crosswords. I learned more new words.
Anyway I really want folks to read to their kids though its soo much in that not just language. SO SO Much. I want them to bring back the book fairs, book reading competitions, bring it all back this literacy crisis is tremendous out here
At this point, nothing would surprise me, but I do hope this isn't some kind of omen or something. 😬
