I got my molding up today. It did not go without problems. The nails were not long enough. I got a long skinny drill to drill deeper into the wood. Then I needed fatter nails as the pilot holes were bigger. I found some and did the nailing. Next, I did some spackling and drop the can with the particle of spackle going everywhere. I managed to get the job done.
I did a couple loads of wash and ironed my clothes for the week. I talked to Aunt Jean on the phone and then I talked to Don.
I rented a couple movies at the Block Buster. I got Superman Returns and the second Harry Potter movie. I now wash them with alcohol before playing. It’s made a big difference. I watched the Superman movie and will watch Harry Potter tomorrow.
I went to the Boston Market and got the roast beef dinner. For dessert, I had blueberry cake with blueberries, ice cream, whipped cream and a cherry on top. Danny got some vanilla ice cream.
Saturdays are most difficult. The day is so long and I miss Ted so much. It’s so lonely here. I feel trapped. I just have to get my house ready and put it up for sale. There is a lot to do and I don’t always feel up to it.
Danny was walked twice tonight and has gone up to bed. I’ll be joining him soon.

I haven't heard of wiping the CDs down with alcohol before playing. Does it improve the quality?
Posted by: reborrell at June 17, 2007 7:16 AMDear Karol,
I pray that you'll be able to put your house on the market soon. It makes me feel so sad for you that you are away from all your family. You're doing very well working on some very difficult projects and if you really think about it, I would guess that many times, even though you may not be feeling up to par, you still push yourself to accomplish a LOT each day. Remember the story of "The Tortoise and the Hare". It isn't always the hare that wins the race obviously. Be sure to give yourself a huge amount of credit for tackling the projects that you and Ted always did together. And, it seems that working on the projects like the moulding, which was a tough job, would overtire you, and then you must endure the sadness of feeling so alone without your husband. I can't imagine your lonliness Karol. When I think of life without my best friend and husband, it is an overwhelming thought to me. May the Lord lift you up and carry you over some of the grief you feel so profoundly at times.
You're doing an awesome job on so many things Karol. I so wish there was a way I could help you more, however, that isn't reality, so please accept my prayers that each day will be a little brighter. Your blog buddy, Ruth

Your comments and your prayers help more than you could know. I feel like you are a guardian angel watching over me. Thank you.

The alcohol removes the fingerprints. I rent movies that are suitable for kids and they get their sticky fingerprints all over them. I was getting a lot of blue screen from the rentals.
