Hello again. Well, we just finished another delicious meal so kindly and lovingly donated by good friends. We are eating well, I'll say that. Also, had a wonderful visit from one of "my moms", who has become a good friend. I'll say again (and probably again) that the generosity of people continues to overwhelm me.
The Loss Group at the middle school held a book dedication ceremony yesterday. Mikayla really was touched by it. She has decided she wants to join the group, and I am thrilled about that. The guidance counselor chose and dedicated a book for Bud: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inside Basketball. Perfect!!
Erin has had a better two days. She had a busy evening yesterday : guitar group and girls scouts. She was a bit reluctantly to leave me, but she ended up having a really good time.
I'm so proud of both my girls!
I'm finding out that nothing about this transition is easy. I went to the pharmacy today to refill prescriptions -- apparently our coverage is no long active. HUH? I actually said out loud "that doesn't make sense, I don't know what has changed". DUH .... your husband died and they turned the insurance "off". After three phone , and a lot of questions, it turns out our coverage will continue (thank God for that), but will need to be retroactive to June 1st.
Tomorrow is the appointment with social security -- I certainly hope that I'll be writing good news about that tomorrow.
I also have the first step towards my own health tomorrow. Bloodwork to be done RE: cholesterol, with a follow-up appt next friday. It's been high -- hopefully, my diet and medication have knocked it down a bit. step 2: back to weight watchers on saturday morning.
It's time to take control~! (right?)
I'm wondering alot what bud is thinking right now. i think daily that i hope he is proud of how i am handling things: the girls, the house, the decisions. i think he would be.

I know Bud is proud of you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with SS. I think your appointment is about now. I'm going to say a prayer that all goes well.
I stumbled upon this blog quite by accident, via a very circuitous route that I cannot remember now. But, I'm very glad I did.
ReplyDeleteToday a friend of mine just lost her 51 year old husband. He was on his way to the airport with several other buddies for a golf trip. On the way, he fell asleep in the car -- and when they arrived at the airport, they could not awaken him.
He leaves his wife and 2 children - one high school and the other college age.
Knowing my friend, I doubt she is a blog writer - or reader. Yet - I will read you - to inform *me* so I can understand. I realize you are doing this for yourself - but, whether you realize it or not, it is helping others.
(By the way - I do not have an actual blog here at Blogspot - - it's over at Live Journal, but keep the shell of a blog here so I can comment on other's posts.)
thank you sweetmeow for your time and comments . . best wishes and prayers to your friend
