Dear Ted #59 - Thanksgiving

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 car. I found this one at Ken Garff in Southtowne. It was really easy. I got there at 6:00. I took it for a test drive. Asked for a CarFax and then said write it up. It was just like that. Got home around 8:30. Cuz it's not a fast process. Anyway - it's now sitting in the garage and it's adorable. I'll show you a picture. It's bigger. I decided I had to get past my midlife crisis and get something a little bigger. And it's all wheel drive - which will be helpful at 6:00 in the morning driving to work. I'm actually getting very excited for the holidays. I'm excited for Sunday. I'm excited for Christmas. As long as we can keep this crappy shizz away from our family and stay healthy, that will make me happy. You just never know what is going to happen - ya know. We know that more than anyone, because who knew going to a movie a little over a year ago would change our lives forever?? I love you to the moon and back. And I miss you so very much. #loveyoumissyou

Dear Ted - #70 - Two years

Well, it's been two years. I can't even believe it. I worked all day and kept my mind off things. Since being home, it's not as easy. I love you more than you'll ever know.

Dear Ted - #71

Holy hell. It's almost been a year since I wrote to you. Ten months, actually!! WOW Just thought I would catch you up on a few things. February I took Harper to Disneyland. We had a great time. I love that kid. That was the last time I traveled. Crazy, I know. April, I had gastric bypass surgery. I decided the rest of my life should be as healthy as possible. However, I've been pretty weak since having it. I actually did ok until I had Covid in June. That nearly killed me. Not really, but I got so weak I couldn't walk for twenty feet without thinking I needed to sit down and relax. I'm still dealing with that. Rustie had her gallbladder out on Friday. On Monday, I will be picking up the three girls. They will be staying with me until Saturday. Then I'll be taking them to Russ and Nancy's - I think. On Saturday, KayeLynn and I are heading to Grand Junction. Randi and Iri moved to Delta, Colorado back in May. So, we are going to go see them...
