Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020 – Busy Day

Dearest Roy,
Today was a busy day, which is a good thing, because it means I’m moving forward, like we’ve always done. I called your sister yesterday to let her know what happened, and messaged her daughter Sue, too, and later in the day I e-mailed your daughter Kim to let her know as well.
This morning I managed to get the lift chair that you decided you didn’t like to work, though for a while there it quit. Not sure why it stopped, or even why it started again, but it was working when brother Karl and I loaded it up into the truck and delivered it to a very deserving woman up in Stuart, who, like you, was having trouble walking and getting up out of her chair. Got a good price on it, actually made a bit more than I bought it for, so that was a good thing. I made most of the arrangements with the funeral home, so that’s being taken care of as well, and spoke to Candy up at the Fresenius (you know your usual nurse Rita is on vacation), who said she would make all the arrangements for picking up your dialysis machine and all the remaining supplies, which will certainly give me a lot more space in my kitchen and in the stud stall!
After we dropped off the chair, we headed over to the Kane Center, because it’s Wednesday, and you know Wednesday is Euchre day. I know you were helping me today, because my partner (not brother Karl) and I won every single game except one, when I figured you went out to lunch or something, so thanks for the help! I brought Lola in with me, all dressed up in her Therapy Dog vest, and she made a lot of people smile like she always does.
Shortly after we got home, brother Jeff invited me to come with him and Karl to join their friend John at Angelo’s Too, so I got that Italian food I was craving last week after all. Got home and took care of the horses, and shortly afterward went to that OTL (Ocean-to-Lake) trail ride meeting, in person instead of on the phone like I had done the last two months, and there’s a bunch of problems they’re having to face now because of a screw up at Jonathan Dickinson State Park, so it looks like that will keep me busy for a while, too. You know how I love to solve problems! Finally got back home at nearly 9:00, so now I’m settling down for the evening to a little TV before going to bed. I love you, I miss you, but I know you’re keeping an eye on me, because I can feel you here with me. Good night, my love!
