There doesn’t seem to be too much to write about. I have settled into the routine of going to work and that’s about it. There wasn’t much to do today. I filed and answered the phone and filled in the time reading the paper, doing crossword puzzles, playing solitaire and surfing the net. They are paying me to sit there so I guess I shouldn’t complain. I’m glad I have a job.
I decided not to go to Toastmaster’s tonight and Bible Study was canceled. I wanted to plant some of my flowers but the rain storm was coming. I walked Danny and went though some of me emails. I need to do some work for Eastern Business. There is still some unfinished business I have to take care of.
I got an email from one of Ted’s Great Plains Partners. He did not know Ted had passed. There are some other people who do not know. I have to go through my Christmas Cards and notify friends who do not know about Ted.
Sometimes there seems so much to do that it is overwhelming. I have some repairs to do on my house. Working full time doesn’t allow too much time to do that. Now that it’s spring, the yard work needs to be done.
Danny ears have been done and if the rain has let up, I’ll walk him before turning in.

Hi Karol, I love what you write Karol. It's so honest. Maybe the blog is something you would rather not do anymore. It does add one more responsibility to your day. Perhaps you felt an obligation to all of us who followed Ted's blog everyday. But, perhaps you should think about YOURSELF and what YOU would like to do. That would be being honest to yourself, and you certainly deserve that. Admittedly, I would really miss hearing about you and Danny Boy, but, I would much rather have you not feel so burdened with anymore than is absolutely necessary. Think about it.
I well remember checking the blog the morning Ted died and reading the beautiful tribute you had written to your husband, which I assumed was the end of the entries. And, honestly, I felt so lost, which was selfish on my part. I knew how ill he was and I began praying for his eternal peace and comfort. Nonetheless, it was very very shocking and sad when I read your dedication page to Ted. That he was truly gone was difficult to comprehend. I just continued to look at the blog each day because it was an important part of my day. I was so glad to see that you had written one day, but, honestly, I didn't think you would continue. I thought maybe it was a sort of therapy for you, and it certainly was a blessing to me, and I'm sure others felt the same way. But, it may well be time to re-think this responsibility. The only thing that is really important for you now is to take very good care of yourself Karol. I will always remember your strength and dedication to your beloved husband in health and through his terrible illness. I write this with only your best interests at heart and I hope you don't think I've stepped out of line by expressing my thoughts so candidly. With friendship and caring, Ruth

I know we talk on the phone from time to time but we feel it's necessary to respond to your blogs which we enjoy very much. In the loss of our son Ted we have many difficult days just making it. We weep with you.
The postings from so many of your friends especially Ruth who writes so eloquently describing her love for you and also suffering from loosing Ted. Some one she never met only through his writings in his blog. Her love and understanding for others warms all our hearts.
We thank You Ruth and May God Bless You.
