Gloomy Holiday Ahead

So, the "tropical depression" has been upgraded to a "named tropical storm", Alberto, which is heading our direction. We are now under a "tropical storm warning".

And it's not even "Hurricane Season" yet. That's not supposed to start until June....

I am stocked up to "hunker down" as we expect a lot of rain and wind. That means dog food, cat food, vodka and cheese puffs for me. ha!


On top of the clouds, rain and storm, Monday will mark 3 years since Bob's death.

I have been dreading this anniversary for more than a month, though my therapist says this is a "normal" reaction to this upcoming "anniversary".

"Normal." What a word... But "normal" to feel like it's all happening again. "Normal" to wake each day and think, "Bob was alive, today, 3 years ago." Until Monday, which is also Memorial Day, when it will be "Bob died three years ago this morning."

Jeepers. Seems like just yesterday.

I still miss him with all my heart.

And this weather is certainly not helping.

The sky weeps. The wind wails. Darkness fills the house during the day.

This weather, which is already beginning today, is expected to last through Memorial Day, and we will still be feeling the effects well into next week....

Anniversaries are hard. Be good to yourself.

Stay safe Di. I'm fast approaching 3 years too. It seems like yesterday. At least with the rain nobody knows you're crying.
