I got a few things crossed off my list today. I cleaned the fish tank. I did some weeding on the east side. I watered the plants and I watered the grass. I even did some spackling over the kitchen door. It will need more but at least I worked on it.
I have a beautiful bouquet of gladiolas. They get very heavy and fall over so I cut them and bring them in.
Danny will need another walk after the movie is done. He hates when I type. He has to be the center of attention.
I talked to my aunt on the phone for over an hour today. It was like a mini visit.
Around 3:30, I felt very sad because it’s the time Ted and I would finish up our chores and go to the shore. I took Danny out for his walk and talked with some neighbors at the end of the block. We were motioned up to the porch and Danny greeted our hostess and then made friends with her father-in-law. He had never met him before he gave a little woof, wagged his tail and greeted him.
I have to make a new list and start on that tomorrow.

Hi Karol,
Making a list of "to do" chores is a really good way to keep us focused on getting things done. I do the same thing Karol or I begin to feel overwhelmed and end up doing nothing. When I have a list and can check something off that I've accomplished, I love that feeling. However, if I have all the things I need to do just in my head, it seems so daunting that it paralyzes me. So, I sit down and read instead. That just doesn't get too much accomplished.
I'm sure you really do feel lonely when you think about the trips to the shore you and Ted so often took after your chores were finished. It's such a bummer that the two of you didn't get to complete your life together. You were husband and wife, but so much more too. His tears that he shed for you Karol when he was nearing death told the whole story of how he so longed to stay with you too. I really believe the two of you were close enough that you can sense his presence at times. I know that surely isn't as good as a big hug and a trip to the shore, but, your hearts were intermingled and shall always be. Cry when you are feeling so blue Karol, it makes us rather physically tired, but, crying can be cathartic and we feel slightlly rejuvenated afterward. Even my husband cries at times, which makes me know that real men do indeed cry. Our husbands cried and they are definitely REAL MEN.
I'm sure hoping your weekend is going well. I'll be thinking of you and sending my best as always. Love, Ruth
