Really saying goodbye to Jamie

 

Sunday

I got up after 8. I took supplements. I looked up how to fold the inversion table, and how to test honey. When Chris got up, I practiced. It did not go well. I prepared a week's worth of supplements, I put frozen ginger on my wrist, and read e-mail. I opened a box with a dress in it and laid it on my sewing room table to alter. I started a new batch of sprouts.

I made and ate breakfast. I got dressed for church. I took the cheese squares from last week and headed out.

When I got there, I could feel the AC blowing cool air on the front row – again. So I spoke to the chaplain and we examined the control box but there was nothing we could do. Then I assembled my trombone and we sang praise songs. The chaplain gave his sermon and the musicians played two hymns.

After the service, Randy showed us where the real AC controls were and we turned off both side. I stood against a warm register and almost couldn't leave. Finally, I took the cheese squares and went home.

When I got home, I turned my phone back on. There was a message from Jamie asked me to come over ASAP. So I jumped back in the car and drove over to the motel. The cheese squares were still in the car so I grabbed them and went into the motel. Jamie was rushing around, addressing last minute items. She found a container to put the cheese squares in. Then she pushed a loaded cart out to the truck. Friends stood around hugging and tearing up. I bid her farewell and headed out.

I went to Pinyon to give a quote. They were moving out, but still had lots of stuff. Thankfully they won't be ready to sign for a week or more.

I went home, changed clothes. I rubbed DMSO on my wrist. I read e-mails and deleted them. Then people signed in for the game. I ate the supper Chris had prepared as we played.

After the game, I made tea and posted to my blog. We watched one episode of Criminal Minds. I kept frozen ginger on my wrist as we watched. Later, I put on leg massagers. I read text in open windows so I could close them.

I clicked on the 'save' icon for today's notes and Open Office crashed. When it recovered, 95% of the notes I wrote today were gone. I tried to recreate my day, then got ready for bed.
