Happenings:
- I turned 62. Nothing big, no fanfare or celebration
- I spent four days @ my sister's home about 50 miles North. It was nice to get away but after four days, I was ready to be back home.
- That's the first time I've been anywhere in years (if you really count 50 miles North 'anywhere)
- I planted a garden on wheels w/veggies & herbs and copious amounts of flowers I saved from death at the store. Everything looks very nice.
- I decorated my porch in a red theme this year. I don't have visitors so I pretty much enjoy it alone.
- I've been working a lot of hours because I don't really have anything else to do.
- I still miss my son deeper than words can say. Grief if never-ending.
- Even though I don't miss Dwayne, the thought that he died here alone while waiting on the ambulance during his heart attack hit me hard over the last couple of days. Heavy tears were shed.
- I still have my guy friend I talk/or text w/daily. I haven't seen him in the flesh but a handful of times since October 2024. Another story for another day.
- I joined "Substack" but don't really like it. Lol. I don't like the idea of having to pay to read folks' thoughts. They're truly not important to me.
- My sister is really pushing for me to create a book and/or calendar w/my photos. I've been starting and not following thru for years. We'll see.
- Temps, humidity & dew point levels are to become unbearable over the next few days. I don't have my A/C's in my windows so I'm hoping not to be miserable for too much longer
- On my off day (Thursday), I try to 'date' myself. The local museum was nice recently.
- I haven't done anything more to the spare room that I was chomping at the bits to paint. I patched a couple of holes in the wall but that's it. I'll try to get on that very soon.
- Oh, I'm lonely.
