Happy Sunday FS friends
Despite my want to work in the yard yesteray, it did not come to pass. I'd get geared up and the skies would open. I don't mind working in a drizzle, but monsoonish rains are beyond me.
Instead, I started going through the freezers. It is sad really. John had starved as a child (how he grew to 6'6" is beyond me). To that end though he was fanatical about shopping sales. So I have two upright freezers, both full as he was buying extra stuff to stock up for things he might like to eat during chemo. There are things that I neither like nor eat. I've sent stuff off with his sons in weeks past, but am now stuck with frozen deshelled clams, mussels, calamari tentacles, baby scallops, imitation crab. Yes, sounds like a seafood smorgasbord because it is. All in their natural state as John didn't like breaded anything. As wasteful as this sounds, odds are I'll set this stuff out to feed our local fox. Don't know what else to do with it as it wouldn't be food bank eligible, my neighbours aren't interested. Might make a gumbo like soup though. Need to find a palatable recipe. Not a fan of food waste.
I'm eating more. Some of his food although not on my meal plan is palatable enough for me to work on finishing them and I have been. Tom Yum soup with dumplings, chicken spring rolls and the like. I'm fitting them into my caloric budget, but at this stage still not hungry. Fruit on the other hand, I'm tolerating well and I like it. Need to up the protein quotient though lest I start losing muscle mass.
What is profoundly weird about this journey is just how long days are. Time isn't flowing as it normally does. Days just drag on and seem to be endless.
This too will pass
Over and out

Ann, there's a soup kitchen on Lawrence Ave that might take your frozen seafood...give them a call and see if they're interested 905-354-1640 If they can't use it maybe they have an idea who could use it. I too hate wasting food! I can only imagine how tedious these days are for you...grieving ebbs and flows at its own pace, as you so well know and each person we lose in our lives affects us so differently. Just know that, as you share your thoughts and feelings here on FS, there are those of us who 'feel' right there with you, wishing we could do more for you than just mere words on a digital screen! ~ ♡ Hugs! ♡ ~

I also hate wasting food. Americans waste way too much food. I don't consider it a waste though if wildlife eats it. I don't eat clams, mussels, calamari. I love dumplings and spring rolls and fruit. I used to think days were long when hubby was away all day at work and with commute he was gone 10 hours a day. Being all alone would seem like an eternity. Hugs.

Definitely not a waste to give the foxes a treat they don’t have to work for. They are cute, sweet beautiful naughty little creatures and so much fun to watch. They may try and move in tho. The days are probably so long because your mind keeps reliving the recent events and the very real change in your life. You can still talk to john. I still talk to my mom. Sometimes i think she is here with me. Which is odd because we had a terrible terrible relationship but at the end I was the one who was there every day and we reconciled many things in those days. I wish the person i was speaking with in those days was who i lived with for 55 years many times but small graces are better than no graces. You are loved anni i am sure of it. Close your eyes on a sunny peaceful day and let the memory of it wash over you and smile. And who knows, when you open them maybe a fox will be there to give you a lift as well. Xoxo darlin. Feels like this part of life is something we can never be prepared for when its someone we value.
