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 #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 - #56 - Happy Birthday

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...
