He landed uneventfully. They all came (aunt, uncle, Dad) to my house and we went out for dinner. We had fun. He talked a lot about caregiving issues with his mother in law. His wife is the pinch hitter in that one. It has been pretty exhausting for them. I can relate.
I did say a little about Ron - keeping his dignity but letting them know he had been needing more and more lately. We had a good meal, Dad was tired so they took him home.
I am wrung out. I am just beat today and planning to go to bed early. I need to take care of myself I don't have anyone to look out for me anymore.
My uncle was asking me questions would it be safe for me to walk to and from the bus stop at night. I told him I would find out. He kept asking me questions. I said I had to take care of myself because my husband was dead. That pretty much ended the conversation.
I couldn't move in with them even if they wanted me because they aren't near local bus lines. I will have to trust in God to protect me, and, if He allows anything, that it will work for my long term good at the end.
But I am exhausted. I did get all my important papers together to take to DPS to get my new ID card. So I don't have to worry about it Tuesday. I am going to give it another 20 minutes and go to bed early.
Rest is important.
And I JUST REMEMBERED where I put the fanny pack, an out of the way place I never would have considered. God finally let me remember!
Oh that was a BAD day. Of course now I need to go get new bank card and bus pass. But at least I have the money, and Ron's old ID card. I was very fond of that photo.
So a better ending.
