Well it seems like a good a time as any to go back to bed.

Not me legit waking up and thinking it’s Saturday…

Slowly tidying up/emptying out. Desk in the den is done. Insurance has been changed over. Gods this shit is tedious and annoying.

I am actually making a meal this evening, not a casserole or a pot of pasta, or takeout for dinner. A cheese and broccoli stuffed chicken breast, homemade roasted baby potatoes, and steamed corn. Not all homemade, but still good!

Today will be a good day. Good Omens 3 is out and I get to enjoy two of the best actors out there playing roles that they love one last time.

I used DoorDash for the first time today. I ordered a double smash burger from The Grill Hut. It was amazing!!! I would absolutely get another one and explore their menu more.

Let me tell you how much I enjoy getting emails from Blue Cross asking for outstanding paperwork for STD for my husband, when his employer already notified them of his passing... it's not even a little bit.

I have two lilac bushes. One has bloomed every year for the… 5 years? they’ve been in the yard. One never did until last year. This year, it’s FILLED with panicles! This time of year always reminds me of my Oma, and her beloved flieder (lilac), Lily of the valley, daffodils, and of course, tulips.

Tattooed friends, what would a fair price be for a tattoo of 3 words in shaky handwriting? Placement on forearm, and normal handwriting size.

Hahahaha.

I bought myself a bracelet. It says FUCK CANCER in Morse code.

Not only have I fed, watered, peed and pooped the doggos, I’ve showered, made coffee, taken my pills, and gotten dressed. My hair is still wet, but it’ll air dry in time for D&D later. I feel like I deserve claps, an ovation, and flowers for this Herculean effort on my part.

Behold, for I have made a healthy supper. With enough leftovers for dinner a second night. Three cheese tortellini, with cheddar, diced sausage, tomatoes, basil and garlic, and topped with mozzarella.

What I really love, after the week I’ve had, is someone POUNDING on my door at 12:44am and shining a flashlight around my backyard. Nope. Not answering the door. Alarm is set, dogs are up with me and there’s no way in hell I’m going downstairs to check it out.

I did really well at the funeral home today. I welled up once or twice but didn’t break down crying. Flash forward to a few minutes ago. That ‘grief is a ball in a box that hits a button’ analogy? Well that thing is a medicine ball that fell from the sky and landed smack dab on the button.

I think this evening I shall try to DoorDash some food to myself for supper. I’m thinking Celtic Corner for either a burger and fries, or a boxty.

Name the first album you ever owned:

1) this head cold can screw all the way off. 2) the birds are way too chirpy today. 3) still zero appetite. 4) I love coffee but it’s upsetting my stomach so I had to switch to tea. 5) Andrew was a tea drinker so I feel like I’m raiding his stash to get my caffeine hit. 6) it’s Friday.

My family doctor just called me to express her condolences and shock at how fast this happened. She’s the absolute sweetest.

Oh because I don’t have enough going on, let’s just add a goddamn head cold into the mix.

I bought 2 things for me today.

You know what to do!

Guess who has two thumbs and got to fill out the census as ‘widow’ last night? It sucked. It sucks. It will suck in the future. But I know it will slowly get better.

Couldn’t happen to a better person.

My husband passed away yesterday morning. I was with him, holding his hand. There was no pain. He left this world hearing nothing but words of love, and the last words we spoke to each other were ‘I love you,’ before he fell asleep. That’s very comforting right now.

I forgot to put my phone on silent and that scared the hell out of me.

Tech friends. I need to get access to hubs’ gmail account but he cannot remember the password and it’s not accepting his Face ID. He never set up an extra email so there’s no recovery email. How can I get access to this email?

I would try catfish if offered, but I’d be really mad if you advertised a ‘traditional’ fish dinner, knowing full well that traditional means haddock or cod, and used another undisclosed cheaper whitefish instead.

Biopsy came back yesterday and it was the worst news possible. It's renal cancer with multiple metastasis, including his peritoneum. They compared the scan from April 2 to April 20's and there was a lot of growth on the existing tumours, as well as new ones...almost everywhere.

I am making a huge mess of chicken wings tonight. I’m going to cover them in Shake & Bake, roast til crispy, and then toss them in some homemade caramel hot sauce, with 3 Cheese Ranch dressing drizzle. Shake & Bake chicken breast, rice, and steamed carrots is my comfort meal. Just wings’ll do tho.

Then there’s Jensen Ackles who just keeps getting better and better.

Today’s not a great day. Pain levels spiked this morning and there’s a lot of discomfort. Resting pain level is about a 3. There was the added bonus of someone’s pants and underwear being in his sink as well. These nurses are absolute angels.

Dinner this evening is space making. I have some frozen meatballs going into a sauce of chunky salsa (finishing the jar), a little brown sugar, garlic, and BBQ sauce (emptying out that as well). It’ll be served over frozen leftover rice, which also frees up space.
