Reflections of My Life

[katlupe]

Today I am waiting for my grocery delivery. I always use the UHC benefit card for groceries since if I don't use it then you lose the amount left on the card. Then the first of the month they refill it. But if you have anything left from the prior month it is lost. My friend downstairs gets the same amount I do but never uses it all. She is very frugal and lives on a low income too but is smart with money.

I never understand why she does not use it all. Maybe she thinks that I am wasteful. I don't think I am. I buy better quality of food than she does and it costs more I am sure. She buys a lot of packaged processed foods which I never do.

My grocery orders cost a lot less as well as the items I buy from Amazon since Rabbit died. I used to buy produce from the grocery store for him. And hay and other things from Amazon. It is a sad reminder when they pop up reminding me that it is time to reorder. Eventually I think they will stop but for now I have to see it.

So not only do I have more money, less work and now more room in my apartment. Including the room in the bathroom without the mobility chair. I am trying to look on the bright side of everything. Otherwise the sadness would consume me.

Quality fresh organic foods are expensive but well worth the expense.
Honestly, Kat, not just being nice, I agree with you. Being smart in one subject doesn't necessarily make us correct in all subjects. I mean, Einstein couldn't even crochet. What an idiot!

Maybe you could get some fake plants to spruce the place up that wouldn't require moving all the time? Like some small ones maybe? Or find some way to decorate for a change in scenery. Something pretty that might make it a little easier.

I know this may sound childish but, it could help the grieving process to get yourself a stuffed bunny rabbit. When I lost my baby, I got an anatomically correct baby doll and put her in baby clothes and would hold her for comfort. I was told that was actually the right thing to do to help me through it. Just a thought because I care.

I hope you have a lovely day kat! *hugs*

I have not been able to write or talk about this yet. My heart is broken forever. Last Wednesday, the 15th, my bunny boy died. I have been with many people and pets that died. His was the hardest yet for me. Maybe because he was with me all the time, all day, every day. I prayed for him to die because it was time. He was sleeping all day and not eating. But he fought it. Kicking his feet right at the end. He lived a long life for a bunny, 11 years. I am thankful I had him.

Just very hard to get used to my apartment without him. It is so quiet, not that he made much noise, but I knew he was there. My last pet.

Oh no Kat, I just caught up here. I am am so very sorry you lost your bunny. I know he was very, very dear to you and cannot be replaced. I'm so sad for you.

Thank you. It has been very hard but I am getting through it. I buried him at my house, Peaceful Forest and almost in the same spot that I took his first picture. When Sonny & I go back there to check his grave I will try to get a picture of it.
