13 months since Carol died, and nothing has changed except for my outside appearance and lack of crying when i'm face to face with any of you. I just talk like i'm upset but calm. "Nothing has changed" is kind of wrong because I think I feel worse. I'm just not as frantic and loud and tearful about it. So I look "okay" on the outside which makes me feel worse on the inside because people don't notice as much or check in on me as much.

I keep thinking I wanna try to cut the shorter, but I just start babbling. I'm sorry for babbling. And i'm really sorry it's about the stupid angle i've been showing everybody my nose

I'm sorry. I wish I was more organized in my head when I'm talking. Although the whole time any of you have known me, you know, that I just kind of ramble on with no order to things.

I still have no idea why I decided to video on sunday or why I decided to do it again right now. I can't seem to think of what to say, to type, for some dumb reason. I'll try to get more organized and keep it shorter if i'm gonna video my rambling self.

05/31/2026

I haven't posted much lately, so sorry for rambling on so long. I don't know why I chose to video instead of typing, or just ignoring it. I suck at videoing. I can't go back and fix my typos, then punctuation.

I love her and I miss her, and sitting down out here under Carol's tree yesterday just rattled something in my head.

Thank you, Makena (on the left) for inviting me to you and your sister's (Maddie) graduation party to day. An extra big thank you for letting me come early, before the party started, to get to see you and give you a hug and talk to you, before all the crowds of people arrived. It's been quite a while since we've seen each other so it was nice to get to talk to you for a little bit.

Makena worked for us at Urban for a bit during her junior and senior years. Even though she was there for a short amount of time she made a huge impact, on a personal level, from an emotional and caring standpoint. Even though she was going through her own medical issues, she checked in on me once in a while to see how I was doing during Carol's hospital day and after Carol's death. Even after she stopped working at Urban.

Thank you, Makena, and congratulations. Good luck to you and your sister at both of your colleges. Sorry my mind wasn't clear enough to take a picture of you, or us, when I was there.

I love you Honey ❤️I miss you 😪💔😪💔

I don't get out much or say much to you guys anymore. I don't have any motivation or interest in getting out lately, and I have no idea what the talk about. Maybe that'll change at some point. But for some reason, this is the change that's happened the last month or so. And especially the last few weeks since the one year anniversary of Carol's death. I just don't know what to talk about anymore. it doesn't help that I've lost contact with about 95% of the people that knew Carol. Hardly any contact at all. Just a few check ins once in a while.

I'm not doing well mentally or emotionally. I think I feel worse than I did last year because I couldn't even register what was happening last year. The only thing I could do was constantly cry and accept hugs. The majority of the crying has stopped and there's no more hugs since i'm not around people anymore. Now, it's all registering and hitting me hard. On the outside, I seem to you like I'm okay. If you talked to me, I would talk okay. On the inside, I'm not not even close to okay. I have just shut down and now I just sit in the house. The house that I couldn't even stay in, accept to sleep, for for ten months, is the place I just sit all day every day.

I think I would get out and do things and see people if they wanted. But I don't have any interest or motivation in initiating that. The social butterfly has turned into a hermit.

Anyway, I just thought I would update you and let you know that I went to the clinic today to talk to the shoulder expert and we've scheduled an MRI for both of my damaged shoulders so we can figure out which type of surgery I'm gonna need. He's also gonna start having me do some things to help me relieve the damaged elbow. Maybe at some point, these three spots won't hurt as much.

Thanks Dr David P Law at M Health Fairview

Thank you so much to Matt of Marko Septic LLC in Roberts, Wisconsin. Matt came out to my mother-in-law, Louise's, house tonight (way after hours) to fix her severely clogged kitchen sink. It has been clogged for the last two days and nothing we did could fix it.

I first called Red Barn Plumbing , since Nick and Kari been to Carol's house and Carol’s mom's house before. We love them. They couldn't come here because they've been downtown at Urban Table (small world), doing plumbing work for them all day today. So they refered us to Matt at Marko.

Another small world incident. I referred Red Barn Plumbing to Hudco To-Go when they needed some work done a couple months ago. Red Barn did not specialize in what they needed, so they referred to Marco.

Another funny thing that happened is that on this day that this is going on. I just happened to be wearing my Brazen Beef shirt. in Red Barn are the same owners. Ha!

Thanks Matt.
I hope you got all my time for dinner.
