After 6 months of waiting, my widow social security benefit finally came through.
Celebrate!!!!....Back pay too.
Celebrate!!!!....Back pay too.
Of course, it went into the wrong account...but,, OK then...$$$$ is here!
Fall is here as well.
I did not think I could do autumn without my dear man.
Evan put up all the decorations...great boy!!
And, Evan goes to sleep with the classical music station, just like Granddaddy did.
Love that boy!!
I am sick...ugh, grrrrr.
Gotta cold...gotta sore throat and gotta cough.
Started asthma treatments right away, cuz I know where this always takes me.
Did I say, ugh and grrrrr??
I have cancelled everything for this week.
Two widows groups, the kids' therapy appts, lunches,
.... and even my beloved Wednesday night quilting group.
I am for self-care so this cold will not end up asthmatic bronchitis.

My sister spotted these at IKEA
the FINNBY bookcase
Doesn't it scream, stack fabric here???? Doesn't it??
Well They are $30 bucks each...Two for me and one for her, for a housewarming present.
And she will assemble them, that is more great news.
I am trying to make "that" room my own..
Shunning the sounds of the life support equipment of ALS
For color. for fabric and for my own use.
I so love red.
My husband has now been diagnosed 2 and 1/2 years, including the 6 months dead..
Therefore, it has been 2 and 1/2 years that I have been hysterical in disbelief.
The pain lingers, the fog is still here...mud brain.
I am still so exhausted.
Every day the loss hits me more and more.
I must make my house my own.
I must start with the fabric.
Sorry for your loss. It's hard to move on but day by day it will be easier. Quilting has always been therapeutic for me. I hope it comforts you as you mourn the loss of your dear husband.
ReplyDeleteThe red shelves are perfect! Take care if yourself now you've got a cold. It's heating up here as the summer approaches!
ReplyDeletefeel better so you can enjoy fall and the new red shelf!!
ReplyDeleteYou did so need red. This post brought tears to my eyes. So, I had to think about that. Six months dead, and If I ever should leave you, and going to be listening to his beloved grandads favorite music. Yep. Pulling us out again and back into RED. Yes, we need the pulsating, life affirming, yang energy, sacral chakra of roots and family of RED. Go red. Do your stuff. We need magic. Now, please.
ReplyDeletePFWHEW!! so glad Social Security finally found you ~ ~ and the bank account will be easy compared to getting started. Or at least I hope so.
ReplyDeleteI hope "that" room will be a place where you can feel the arms of love and the aroma of contentment as you move forward. How grateful to have quilting to tenderly heal your heart. and fabric to sort and fondle and generate dreams and seeds of comfort.
What a relief that Social Security is sorted!! Evan has done a wonderful job of decorating. Have fun putting your fabrics on their new wonderful red home.
