Cold, cold, cold, but CATS!

 Howdy!

Today's an interesting day!  

Most of the United States is now covered in massive snow/snowstorms.  The southwestern corner of Missouri is cold, but no snow.  Very sunny.  Yesterday, there was some thunderstorms, but that was it. 

A lot of people are home as a lot of places closed ahead of the snowstorm advance warning!  

Now, there's something to be said for having advance warning, especially if people take advantage of it and make good use of it.  Prepping houses, yards, etc, to avoid as much damage as possible.  Spend time with family.  

I love spending time with Purple.  He's my family in my little apartment. 

It's nearing March 8, the deathday of my husband.  It'll be 3 years.  I am finding that I am becoming a bit teary lately but I think that's because I haven't really completely processed the fact that I don't have him on Earth anymore.  That I'm beginning to really grasp the magnitude of my loss.  

I go by the principle that it's okay to not be okay.  The only caveat is that I do not harm myself nor others if I'm not feeling okay.  

Not many months after his passing, I went and got a tattoo on my left arm.  I wanted something to represent him and also to add a semi-colon.  Many of you know what the semi-colon means in this context.  Ye, I lost my husband, but my story continues.  

It's been almost exactly 3 years to the day.  My story has been chaotic and probably will remain chaotic for a while longer.  This apartment is not a good place to live and I am working on finding a new place that is much better maintained and much safer.  I had hoped that this place would be my final move, but it seems not to be fated.  It seems that there is one more move left.  After that, I hope that I am done with moving!  

I've adjusted to life without my husband.  A lot of problems, yes, but also a lot of good things, as well.  Just matters is how you CHOOSE to view things!
