Gene died and my life was changed forever. As my kids and most people who knew me, will a test to, I was spoiled rotten. Gene did everything but cook, he even had the kids fooled into believing he did that too, when he'd make hamburgers, frozen french fries and open a can of beans for them on the weekends when I worked at the grocery store. So life in the last four years has sometimes been challenging, it has also given me a great sense of accomplishment along with it. I've done lots of things I'd never done before like taking the car through a car wash, and paid all the bill and done the taxes which Gene always did. I built a great addition onto the cabin, and traveled to Europe and across the United States visiting friends and relatives along the way. Fighting the cancer battle has added to the struggles and loss of Gene, but I couldn't have done any of it without the help of my kids, cousins, neighbors and you. You have prayed for me and given me Gods loving grace. Through it all, I have survived in good order. Thank you!
Didn't sleep well last night, I was up every two hours going to the bathroom, and then inbetween I was composing my blog, over and over again. I tried to play tricks on my brain to make it stop thinking....but I couldn't outsmart it. Oh and there were a few tears thrown in there too....and a few prayers.
Yesterday was a great day....didn't feel dizzy once. I continued to pile on the fluids, even made some chicken tortilla soup and had about three bowls of it. I did a great deal of cleaning, and managed to wash all the windows inside and out. I even dusted the ceiling fan, which hadn't been since it was installed four years ago. Yuk!
Today, I'm going into town to the farmers market and see if I can find that great sourdough bread they had last year. Then this afternoon, Bonnie and Bob Lammers are bringing dinner over. They have a cabin on Clearwater and they rent it out most of the summer. Today they are coming to clean it, so will be there. I haven't seen them since this spring when they drove me to Mayo atleast 4 or 5 times. They stayed in Minnesota when everyone else went south!
It's a beautiful morning the lake is calm as can be and the birds are singing and coming to the feeder. But I just realized that I haven't seen a Nuthatch or Chickadee yet this year....that's strange. Love and prayers, m
