I'm Still Here

 It was so much easier to write about someone else. Walt gave me so much to work with.  Turns out I'm pretty boring.  I miss him, but I have been pretty busy with all of the stuff that comes with eliminating someone from your life.  Doesn't that sound awful?  It is, but it is what you are expected to do.  I hate it.  Here is an example:  The cell phone.  It is in Walt's name.  I was authorized on the account, but can't do anything that involves change.  We have 5 lines on that account.  Me, Walt, Amanda, Madison and a friend. I can't get the account in my name unless I pay $100 per line as a deposit because I don't have any credit in my name.  Who knew? I'm the one who paid the bill for over 5 years, but I can't make any decisions now.  Crazy!
I thought I had escaped any ill effects of the freezing weather.  It's been below zero here for a week.  Last night I heard water running.  It seems I have a problem with an outside facet.  Will call the landlord this morning.  The cold has made my girls (chickens) stay in the roosting position long after the sun (sorta) comes up. Two have frostbite on their combs.  Otherwise they do pretty good still giving me one or two eggs a day.
This morning I heard a trickle of (what I thought was) water in the bathroom.  I jumped out of bed in time to see one of my cats peeing in the toilet!  What???  I guess she is the smart one.  I don't have a litter box.  The cats have to use the dog door and go outside.  Guess she didn't want to do the cold.  Too funny.  Walt would have laughed about that.
You are just never prepared for some things in life.  You might think you know yourself and how you will react.  You might do the research on how to deal with different things, but then something pops up to let you know that you are not invincible.  It's never what you expect.  I went with Amanda to Sacramento and felt so weird because my phone never rang.  Whenever I went anywhere Walt would call me or expect me to call him, because he worried.  There was no one to worry about me.   Such a silly little thing, but it's those kind of things that just catch you off guard.
I'm okay.  Still having lots of wonderful memories of all of those who were there for me when I really needed them (that's all of you).  I am waiting for the DVD to be processed and copied.  I will send them off as soon as I get them.  Thanks again for hanging in there with me.  I love you all.
