Good afternoon FS friends
.
So the date for John's memorial has been set. August 10th. His sons decided to have it just down the road from here. Perfect spot. The chapel/auditorium faces the Mighty Niagara River, has a fieldstone fireplace with a natural gas fire. Three elements that John loved..water,fire and stone.
The 3 sons and their families will stay here as they did the weekend prior to John's passing. Bittersweet as his absence will be felt. As an only child from a tiny family I'm not used to that many people around, let alone young children. John was the buffer when they were here. Suck it up buttercup. I can do this.
Odds are that once the memorial is done and the sons move on to their own lives again, I won't see them again. Have been quite busy going through the house and outbuilding to cull things that belonged to him so that they might take them away when they leave. The odd thing I'm keeping, like his favourite tie that he always wore when we attended formal events and it will go into my memory box along with a few other small mementos.
It's remarkable how lives become so interwoven. I went for my biannual mammogram today and remembered that 2 years ago he dropped me off, did some shopping and picked me up afterwards. Wasn't expecting that bit of memory to hit but it did. Sad.
Crying less, doing more, still have brain fog, but so it goes.

Dear FS Friends
Just wanted to say Thank You for your support. Both with the ongoing weight loss journey as well as the compassion and insights you have shown me with the passing of John.
The support of community, whether that be in real life or virtual means the world! Feeling far less alone and lost as a result.
Heading into the yard to start work as they're calling for a hot day ahead. Not a fan of heat and humidity. Makes me feel like a limp noodle.
Another day passes, one foot in front of another.

Good Morning FS friends
Went to dinner with my friend before the Babyface concert last night. Had fish and chips. Battered and deep fried. Wanted it, so had it. Had one chip. Potatoes and french fries aren't nearly as wonderful as I remembered them to be, so one was enough. The fish on the other hand, that greasy batter and fish itself actually was very satisfying. The tartar sauce and coleslaw on the other hand - too sweet, had a taste and left it. Not sure why so much sugar is added to things, but yuck. The steamed veg lovely. So blew my caloric budget by a bit, but leaned into the actual want of food. Aftereffects though? Yikes. Body isn't quite sure what to do with all that grease and batter. Queen of the belch today.
Seems like my body has adapted to a new way of eating and likes it better. I'll stick with the baked or pan fried fish in future and bypass the deep fried batter thing.
Concert was excellent. Quite enjoyed it. Good for me as casino concerts were not part of my time with John (except for one with Joe Cocker at Rama in 2009).
Will continue to lean into things that I love/loved and did pre John/during the John years. In the months to come will look to doing things that are net new activities. Earlier this spring I had gone to a meeting of the newly formed cycling club in my area. Life of course took a turn, got busy with doctors and treatments and that got put on the back burner. At the moment still not an option as I need feeling in my left foot to be safe, but am positive that the docs will figure out what is going on.
So onwards and upwards. One day at a time

Good afternoon FS friends
Better day yesterday and so far today. Went to the walk in clinic last evening about the left drop foot issue. Went for xrays of pelvis and spine this morning and have been referred back to the zap doctor since the now bad left leg/foot was used as a baseline for the diagnosis of the right foot. Hard to believe the original test was only 2.5 months ago (seems like a lifetime) If we can at least find out what's causing this, figure out a resolution I hopefully can get back to normal gimpy mobility. My dogs deserve to be walked regularly but at the moment the risk of falling is just too great.
Went to the butcher today to pick up some meaty treats. That was a tough one as John and I were in there at least once a week. Done and over with. These firsts are tough, but the more I get through them the better. Yay.
Have a date for the memorial service - Aug 10 at 2PM. His son landed on a great spot just 2km from home and faces the water. Perfect.
And food. Well hopefully the items from the butcher will stimulate my palate. What I am liking lately as previously mentioned is cheese, cherries and pineapple. Weird or what.
Anyways, another day passes. Tonight am going to the Babyface concert and out to dinner with my friend pre concert. Change of pace will be good.
Over and out
