Well —— crap on a cracker! I was really hoping that I would be able to go see Ms. Kate today but she is still not allowed to have visitors. I certainly understand it, and I understand the desire to not want any chance of COVID spread but it was disappointing especially since so much of her nurse’s report was positive. I know that a visit together would  do so very much for both of our mental states. I hate to break the news to her. 

It is a rainy, yucky day. The temperature has dropped and one would  think it is November. It is hard to believe that Thanksgiving is just a few days away and Christmas is only like five weeks away.  This will be the least “Christmasy” Christmas I think we have ever had and Thanksgiving will come and go. I just hope to have Ms. Kate home for Thanksgiving even if I have to just fix us some Ravioli or something. 

I have been wanting a DQ Blizzard in the worst way for over a week. I kept thinking about it and how good it would be. I finally went to DQ last evening and got myself a medium Butterfinger Blizzard, and I was so so disappointed. I usually get a large blizzard but this time got a medium. Well, they put way too much of the Butterfinger and chocolate in it. I couldn’t even taste the ice cream. I ate down to the part where all of the chocolate and stuff was and through it away. I should have gotten a banana or strawberry. Either of those would have been better. But, it is what it is. 

One thing I am finding out is that with Ms. Kate gone, the days are sure long around here. Were she here and healthy, we would be in two different levels of the  house doing our own thing. I’d be on the computer downstairs and she’d be working on making cards up stairs. But —- we would still be together. We currently are able to talk three or four times a day but that just isn’t the same. I’ve only been up for about three hours today but it seems that I have been up a long time. 

I guess I might as well make use of the day. Have a great weekend. Peace.
