• April 4th Easter Sunday

  I went to church online of course. I feel numb, to me the day is not "Happy" Easter. It is that our Lord has Risen, but the day without Carissa, last Sunday who knew we would not see her again?

  Juan just came over and packed a bag into our trash container and rolled it around front. So my kitchen bag will sit in the garage a week because there is not one iota of room, not one. Two big bags were from her car alone. She drove a Chrysler 300 and that has a huge trunk.

  I should be sitting here writing utility information down as I have to call them first thing in the morning. Then I need to call Costco to stop the auto pay and call her bank to freeze her card or whatever it is they have to do.

  Wil has an appt. with the urologist tomorrow and when we get back there will be a grocery delivery her employer took care of. One of her bosses was here Friday to leave a card and some cash. Another is having T-shirts with her picture on it and one of her favorite sayings. They hope to sell enough to help us as well. I told him I'd like a shirt. I'll have to tell you later the saying, I forgot it.

  Her employers are wonderful. I even heard from a man with her 401K. I/we can get counseling for 36 months, plus something else I forgot.

  Wednesday we got our COVID shot, the first. Then it was down to the funeral home. Ms. Ybarra had to leave the room and awful lot. Of course she wasn't there when the floral book was laid down. The lady from church was in there with us and I'm surprised they allowed it. But we just went over that flower book and she held the price list.  She said I might as well bring some of my bluebonnets, though I told her they won't keep in a vase.  Then she scrolled through her phone to show me you can get a casket built. I finally asked her to take a seat I needed quiet time.  Wil wanted to leave because he didn't want her husband to have to drive through heavy traffic.

  Betty has cochlear implants and I kept leaning forward to talk to her. The next day I had to have a pain pill and I had gone several days without one. So Tony and Lydia will take us down to the funeral Saturday.

  Can't find a link feature.

  A trap was set for Sparkle. First try she shut the door in a walk around I think. Second try we got her and she is parked in a box holding Christmas stuffed animals in the closet. I was determined to shut the door so she wouldn't become a closet cat here.  She opened it.

  Millie came by and left the most delicious looking plate of ham etc. Here I am struggling to eat with my stomach revolting.  Helen called they are barbequing chicken. Maybe I can freeze some.
