01 Feb 2007 TGIF… Tomorrow
 |  Category: Widowhood  | 3 Comments

I am not a morning person

Practically the first thing I see after that last push of the snooze button. This sight is so familiar to me that I felt motivated to photograph it about a month ago, to see if I would interpret it a different way. I gave it a bit of treatment so it’s closer to how I see it in the mornings, with my impaired vision.

Only one more day of work this week. I’ve had a long evening, and I know it will make me very tired tomorrow. It was Week 2 of the bereavement group, and it felt much harder than last week. Probably in light of some news today that brought to mind how much I wish David were alive today and I were not a widow.

Melissa told me while I was in Vancouver the other weekend: “Auntie Gail, [? told me] when you love someone and they die, they stay with you forever.” Very true, Melissa.

morning load

December 31, 2006
Havana, Cuba

The morning of the last day of 2006. I couldn’t stop myself taking photos of hanging laundry the whole week. The Cubans must’ve thought I was mad.

Kermit wanted to have his picture taken, too, so I hung him up to dry.

I’m actually doing a morning load right now — I reached laundry critical mass. I don’t have much clothing, so it doesn’t take long!
