Dear Ted #48

 Holy Cow - it's been almost a month since I talked to you.   That is crazy to me.  And I'm sorry.  

Life is just turmoil.  It's a strange time. 

I truly feel like I'm doing nothing all the time.  That I have so much to accomplish, but no energy or want to get busy.  And when I do get to a point that I want to do something, one wrong thing just destroys my desire to accomplish anything.  Take the master bedroom closet.  I got it all painted, the carpet is ripped out to put the flooring in.  I wanted to add a little femininity to it.  I decided I wanted to have a little chandelier or new light put in.  Found this gorgeous light with crystals dropping down.  Started to put it together and there are no instructions really, all these loose crystals with nothing to put it together with.  So - I guess I'm taking it back.  And now I start again.  Blah.  

I think about you a lot.  All the time.  Talk to you hoping you can hear me.  Hoping you're not too mad at me because I am throwing so much stuff away that would have driven you so crazy.  But, damn it, I have no clue what to do with all this shit.  And I want to park in my garage.  I want KayeLynn to park in the garage.  

I hope you stop in on your daughter Dee.  She is a mess.  Her life is a mess.  I think she is an alcoholic.  I think she has some major issues and her marriage is a mess.  I've never liked him.  I think he is at the very least verbally abusive.  When I went to visit a couple of weeks ago, he treated her and Cash like crap.  I was devastated to watch it.  He came in yelling at her because there was stuff on the counter.  She is having a conversation with me and KayeLynn and he comes in yelling at her to clean it up.  What, it couldn't have waited a bit??  Til I was gone??  The asshole who sits and plays video games every waking hour, not one ounce of sociability in him, and he's screaming at her and the kids.  Cash has to load the dishwasher when I'm there.  Gabe has to take out the trash.  Dee has to clean up the counter.  And all of this couldn't wait until I had left.  I don't know.  I don't like him.  I have never really liked him and I'm sad that she is stuck in this horrible life.

Anyway - I miss you every day.  I love you so much.

Dear Ted #45 - Independence Day

Today is the Fourth of July.  You aren't here.  It's kind of a weird one.  No public or big fireworks shows.  No parades.  Just a low key, don't get in big crowds kind of event. We had dinner at Crystal and Brandon's.  Didn't barbecue, had pasta with alfredo, salad, watermelon, garlic bread.  It was a tasty, very different, holiday meal. Then we made smores for dessert.   The kids played in the pool.  And did some snakes and smoke bombs.  It was a good day.   When KayeLynn and I got home, we just kind of watched TV.  Then the fireworks started.  The private, big package fireworks.  I had to go out and sit for a little bit.  I had to watch.  Too many memories flooded about how much you loved fireworks.  I just had to go out and watch for a while.  It was kinda a sucky show, but there were a few good ones.  It was nice and warm outside.   I've kinda been pretty blue the last few days. ...

Dear Ted #19

Hello my love.  It's been a few days.  Not that I'm not always thinking about you, I just don't have a lot to tell you from day to day.  It's been pretty normal.  Just working and coming home and trying to accomplish something.  Generally, I don't.  I had specific plans during my days off and I don't think I accomplished but a couple.  Sweeping, mopping, vacuuming and dishes.  I didn't get your shoes gathered up.  I didn't get the bathroom countertop finished.  I didn't get most things done. I heard from Discover Card finally.  I think that is everything.  I'm not 100% sure they aren't going to go after something, but I really doubt you have hidden assets, so I don't know that there is anything to worry about.  But, you know me.  I always will worry. I went to HOA last night.  For some reason, that was giving me anxiety.  I made it through.  I got the proxies out.  They have someone to replace ...

Dear Ted #24

So I've decided to give a new name to a certain day of the week.  I will now be calling it Productive Tuesdays.  I'm giving myself a goal to accomplish on that day and doing everything I can to meet that goal.  This Tuesday, I worked on our bathroom and our bedroom.  I finished up most of the painting, there is the other side of the beam that I still need to do, but it doesn't show - so I'm not too worried.  😂😂  Went through your nightstand drawers.  A lot of the stuff in there made me smile.   I also started painting our closet.   I'm doing the same colors as the bathroom.  I made a nice little shrine to you on your nightstand.  Got a picture of you in front of the flags from when we were at the Missouri.  I have your NSA mug with a bunch of little tools in it.  Your Jeeps.  Your Marine beanie and your Get Smart beanie.  One of your floppy hats. Your one Marine hat is hanging above the night stan...
