Hi all - one of our favorite TV shows was Criminal Minds. We always liked listening to the quotes at the beginning and end of the show. Those who watch will know what I am talking about.

This past week's ending quote made me think of George even more then the fact he's not watching the show with me.

Love to all,

My thoughts today

Hey all - I was doing great last week but this week not so much. I think it may be the weather and a couple of other things.
My family room TV is not working but hopefully Doug will fix that today.
My dog wants to run and play with me especially on the days that I don't feel like it. I yelled at her last night telling her I'm sorry her father isn't around anymore.
I need a new fridge. George and I talked about getting a new one. They are expensive.
I am going back and forth about the house. At first, I thought I had to sell it. Then I didn't because I was emotionally attached to it. Now I'm thinking about the HUGE yard and me being mortgage poor. I just happen to look at houses online the other day and there's not much out there for my price range. I need a house because of the dog. Otherwise I would consider a condo.
My house is a mess but I just don't feel like cleaning it which makes more upset.
UGH!!!!!!!!!
Thank goodness I have a therapy appt this Friday. Last week I almost thought about cancelling it because I thought I was doing much better, well I was wrong.
Gotta go.
Talk to you all soon.
Love,
Mrs. Dude

Hi - I want to tell you about a dream I had last Friday that made the day a WHOLE LOT easier. I had a dream about George and he came back but as a younger self. You know the time he had the beard and glasses(which I only know by pictures) but all the history is there. We were all at a party for something and he came walking in. Everyone was sooooo happy to see him. I snatched him up and we snuck out to be alone somewhere. He said he gave up smoking and he will take better care of himself. The dream continued after I woke up. It was a very nice dream. Then throughout the whole day he kept reminding me of the funny times we had together, the little pranks he pulled. The dream and the memories were happy that day but today they are making me cry. I am upset with him for not taking better care of himself.

Talk to you later.
Love,
Mrs. Dude
