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.

Busy Getting Ready
I have chased a million rabbits and met myself coming and going many times today. I "think" that I have accomplished a lot, but don't think that it shows...yet. Hoping that it all comes together soon! My sister may be here tomorrow at this time...so her visit may be starting in less than 24 hours! Looking forward to her visit. Looking forward to stopping getting ready for her visit! I'm one of those people who isn't finished getting ready till company comes...once company arrives, I'm ready to stop preparations and just enjoy the time we have together. I think that this is the first time that I have made no lists to get ready...well, a grocery list. But the scary thing about said grocery list...there is no "what we are going to have to eat" list. We are going to do more winging it than we have in the past. I have bought general things, but I figure we will be heading to the grocery store a day or so after she gets here...we tend to do more shopping than I normally do when Cheryl is here. WE have vowed that we have to make two WalMart visits this time as we missed going to WalMart when she was here last time! We will be gadding about more than I am used to doing! As soon as I post this I will head down and attempt to finally get around to making the fresh tomato enchilada sauce. Yesterday I got the spices out for that recipe. Today I have peeled and chopped the fresh tomatoes...now to get the ingredients put together and the sauce simmering! I have done quite a bit of cleaning...those jobs that needed to be done last minute so I wouldn't have to repeat them! My problem is that I do a job that takes me someplace else and then I do a job there and then that leads me in another direction and I do...or at least start that job...and I get to the point of pretty much spinning wheels! I have relocated items (hope I can find them at a later time!). I have dusted...found some very dirty areas...lots of dust...at least when those dusting jobs are done, I know that I have done something. I am hoping not to kick up so much dust that it starts up my allergies! I have been using my allergy nasal spray hoping to stave off sneezes and nose blowing! I have been known to get sick when I get into some cleaning sprees...don't want that! I went to prayer meeting tonight and am now home settling in for the night...but not heading to my comfy chair quite as soon as I might like! Enchilada sauce first! Of course, that will mean cleaning the kitchen...again! Tomorrow the vacuum will be dragged around the house...hopefully when the vacuuming is done, the house will pretty much be ready. It has been another hot day. Cheryl should feel right at home when she steps out into the Nashville air...oh, wait...AZ heat is a dry heat...well, maybe she won't be ready for it. Humidity, as well as, heat has been up a bit more today. But I have pretty much stayed in and kept fairly cool. Not sure about porch sitting in this weather...maybe first thing in the morning! Nathan brought a coffee pot over this morning...let the party begin...but no coffee for me...no, thank you! Cheryl can have all the coffee to herself! To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
