I started this blog to keep folk up to date on my husband's melanoma treatments. I have kept up daily blogs for 15 1/2 years…sometimes health related...sometimes just daily routine. June 16th Woody took his final breath in his long health battle. I have blogged for so long that it is part of my daily routine…so I guess I will continue with posts from me about how I cope with this new stage in my life…widowhood.

Congratulations, Joy!
I just got home from Joy's graduation from cosmetology school! One more rung climbed toward's her future! She is planning to get a job in a salon and also go to Motlow State Community College this Fall. Busy times. Graham got registered at Middle Tennessee State University today...so more busy times and more rungs to climb in his life. I woke up, too early, once again. I'm ready for a time that my body allows me to sleep longer than four hours at a stretch! I played lazy and stayed in my chair for a while this morning before acrtually getting up. When I finally decided to move I picked up my Bristol sampler and cross stitched for a while on it. I did reconfigure my serger today and overlocked the ends of the yardage that I bought recenty. After that I washed both pieces and have dried them, too. So they are ready to be made into something...once I decide what that something will be! This afternoon I met with my financial advisor to change names on the accounts to just mine...a strange thing to have to do! But it is one more thing done. The first thing I have done that needed a death certificate...but he only needed a copy of a cetified death certificate. So at this point I have all the death certificates I was given. I came home and actually cooked for the first time since the funeral...I'm having a bit of a struggle enjoying cooking as I did when I could cook for Woody. Today I cooked the patty pan squash that Melany brought me from their garden. Pretty tasty. I sauteed it with onions and sweet red, orange, and yellow bell peppers...with a pinch of garlic salt and a pinch of Italian seasoning. I enjoyed that before I left for the graduation. The graduation ceremony took place at a church that is onlly a few blocks from my house. There were only six girls in the graduating class so the ceremony didn't take long. One girl graduated with in aesthetics, Joy in cosmetology, and the rest in nails. Joy was one of three who had graduated from high school while working toward her cosmetology diploma. So all in all another pretty busy day. I am pretty tired...ready for my recliner once I get a little more done in the kitchen. I still haven't turned on the TV since Woody died...part of me is enjoying the quiet, part of me just isn't in the mood to sit down in the family room for long enough to watch a program. I have watched a few things on my iPad, but no TV programming...I am behind with the news. I keep up somewhat with drop down headlines on my iPad. I do know that there is a presidential debate on TV tonight...but I am excused from watching that as I don't get that channel! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious! Oh, just thought about the problems I had posting the blog last night...no problems tonigt, but there was an app update which fixed some bugs...looks like those were the bugs that gave me problems last night...so back in business tonight!
