Notes to Ted

It's Thanksgiving today, honey bunny. But, we aren't celebrating today. KayeLynn and I are eating casserole and watching movies. Just one of those days. We will be celebrating on Sunday, it's my day off. Crazy to think that now that you are gone I can get part of the weekends off. Been like this for months - since Covid started and turned everything upside down. I did a thing yesterday. I went and traded in my beautiful Veloster for a Tucson. It wasn't brand new, but it was a year newer with 10,000 less miles. I got a thing that the Veloster needed to be updated on it's software for something to do with the variable shift or whatever it is. Took it in, the dude said that it needed a whole new clutch system and it would take up to two days to fix. Well, I don't know if you remember how I reacted when the Compass decided to start needing work, but I kind of freak out about stuff like that. So when I got home, I started looking online for a different

365 days. 52 weeks. 12 months. One year. You're gone. I miss you. I love you. #loveyoumissyou

Happy 186th monthaversary. I love you forever. #loveyoumissyou

Happy Birthday my love!!  I hope you had a wonderful, heavenly birthday.  Doing whatever you wanted to do.   I made it through today ok.  I lazed in bed, not wanting to get out and face the day, for quite some time.  Then I got up.  By the afternoon, I was kind of in a groove.  But, when it came to the evening, I had a really hard time facing being by myself - staying in quarantine.  I was already out.  KayeLynn has to do all the shopping, because I'm not supposed to leave the house.  She was kind of wiped out when it was done, so she asked if I would make your cake.  So - I made the cake and then later made the biscuits and put dinner together.   You see, we had a full on, virtual type dinner.  All in your honor.  Susan thought of it and put it together.  It was all based on a dream she had with you in it.  She dreamt that we had been to visit and we left a box there.  The box was full of Red Lobster things and gift cards.  So she felt that we needed to have a Seafood dinner.  But

 Today was supposed to be your birthday party.  But, it didn't happen.  We had the theatre rented, we were ready.  On Halloween day, after my shift at work, I got a call from my supervisor.   One of the girls I worked with, on a flight, was positive for Covid.   So - I had to quarantine, at home, for two weeks.   Today is day nine.  I have to go through the 14th.  I'm going to do an at home Covid test tomorrow, and try to start venturing out of our bedroom.  Because I'm tired of being locked up and I'm still doing ok.  We'll see how tomorrow goes. Tuesday is your birthday.  I'll try and write then.  We've got a big celebration planned for you.  Susan did it.  She planned a seafood dinner, all based on a dream she had.  So, we are supposed to all have some sort of seafood or C food.  All in your honor.   I can't believe it's almost a year.  I miss you so much still.   #loveyoumissyou
