Sunday, March 7th., 2021…… Even though I slept ok last night
I am back to feeling blah. I walked Ryle and made breakfast. I forgot to
mention that I went off to Walmart to stock up on groceries so I have food
here. I spent the morning watching races I had taped and then cleaned up the
living room a bit for tonight. The girls came over with dinner from Kento
Hibachi. We settled in to watch a movie and just hang out. They chose Brothers
Grimm, which I had taped yesterday, as the movie for this evening. The movie
was not as light as we thought, but it was a very nice night and a nice break
from being here alone every night!
Monday, March 8th., 2021…… Krista and I have been talking
each morning. We discussed next steps as to ashes and belongings but for the
most part I just listen and try to provide comfort and support. Later, I
decided to take a drive so I headed over to Home Depot to look at cabinets
again. The ones I found online are flimsy and the reviews are terrible so I
will be buying an unfinished one that is already made. I just have to paint it.
I spent the rest of the day resting and hanging around the house. Later in the
evening, I found an ad on Facebook Marketplace for closet door mirrors. These
are perfect for my garage project. If you keep up on this blog, you know that I
had previously installed a mirror in the house garage so that I could see vehicles
that have pulled in the driveway. That mirror is ok but a larger one, on
hinges, will really work well, I think. I’ve seen these for $50.-75. and he had
several for only $10.00 each. So, I messaged him and told him I would buy two
of them. We made arrangements and I am going up to Salem tomorrow to pick them
up.
Tuesday, March 9th., 2021……
Krista said the coroner’s office told her the cause of death was trauma
from the accident and that he died instantly. While nothing is good about any of
this, there was no suffering so that was good to hear. We have decided together
to split the ashes. I think she is planning to take them on the benefit ride.
As for me, I will be adding plans for another celebration of life in California
in the undetermined future. At this time, I am leaning to having two separate
times so that friends can come for each of them. That depends on the venue and
allocation of the room.
I spent the morning driving up to
Salem to pick up those mirrors. They were in excellent condition! I took the Acadia since they would lay flat
in the back and brought them back home and unloaded them in the shop. Now I
have to figure out how to attach hinges so I can hang one of them. The rest of
the day I worked on the boat and I finished installing the boat guides.
I think they will work nicely when I get the boat out again. I still have to finish the carpeting and reinstall the seats but that should go quickly. I’m waiting for warmer weather so I can work outside. The weather here is changing slowly so it may be a while. We still have cold days and rain but the sunny days are working their way into the picture and I always like sunny days!
Wednesday, March 10th., 2021…… The weather was icky when I took
Rylee out but it’s expected to burn off and we should have some sun in the
afternoon. I was asked to go over with my sister to her friend’s house to help
them set up for a yard sale. This is the property that Linda and Chuck have
inherited and they have just sold it. They have been working on cleaning everything
up and sorting through a ton of things to be tagged and sold. I put together
some shelving units to display items and then reattached some dresser drawer
hardware. Sis will put in a lot of hours tagging before the sale. This farm is probably a mile from my house so I
am available if Chuck needs me for anything. When I got home, I rested for a
while and then took off to go to Corvallis. I wanted to hit Bed Bath and Beyond
to see what artwork they have. I am looking for something for the main bathroom.
When I see it, I will know…
Dinner tonight was a cobb salad
and a chicken pie. Tonight was Tough as Nails and the first show for this
season’s The Masked Singer. I have all of the names now and got them written in
my workbook. It looks like they will have wild card additions to the list as
well. Tonight, it was group A and I have
some ideas of the first five. The Snail was the first to be unmasked, although
I thought it would be the Raccoon, who was terrible! I had no clue the Snail
would be Kermit the Frog! His voice was familiar but I just didn’t get it. It
looks like they have some terrific singers this season.
