Game Day

I had a very nice time with my daughter yesterday and this morning.  Now I'm left at home alone, to wait for the Saints to play.  I wanted to make cookies or fudge, but that means a trip to the store.  No motivation at all.  Did some shopping, and have a day planned with my sisters and mom on Wednesday.
My husband and I always watched the game together.  I find it hard to stay home while the game is on.  I always go somewhere, mostly to the casino while it's on, and see some of it on the TV there.  I cried when they won the Super Bowl, because my husband would have been so proud.  I know he was looking down on that night and was just as excited as the rest of the city.
I get so lonely when it's just me at home.  I can't do alone very well.  I guess that's why the casino seems a good outlet.  There are people there having fun.  The mall, just seems people are rushing by.  I'm still looking for a church to attend.  My old one, just does not inspire me.
Well, I'll go spend 20 or 30 and come back to an empty house, and at least clean up some.
I have someone coming tomorrow to fix my porch, and replace my front door and paint.  I think refreshing the front will be nice, it needs it bad.  I want to get siding on the rest of it, maybe next year.

We do what we can to feel normal. It seems as though your description of the casino is that: helping you to feel normal. My feeling-normal activity was going to a restaurant. It took a while to get used to it--through tears sometimes--but eventually I conquered the awkwardness and felt like I fit right in. As we travel this terrible journey of loss, we become very creative at what helps us get through another day. I hope that you discover many things that bring a smile to your face as it helps to ease the grief if even for a short time. TJ
