Thirty Days of Mo(u)rning

A widower at forty-two. What Kateri gave me… what cancer took away… and how I'm coping with life from the woods of Vermont

  • 2.43.408… This is what I was gonna write about…

    Posted at 11:24 pm by Darren Lidstrom, on June 4, 2019

    Hanging Baskets from Cedar Circle 6-4-2019I wanted to write about my day which was filled with going to the farm Kateri worked at to pick up two hanging baskets (I was there for almost 2 hours… after having driven past it twice as I contemplated if I was up to visiting the ol’ farm today). Or maybe tell you about how and why I built a shitty little wooden table out of leftover two by fours for in between the two new Adirondack Chairs (there seems to be an excessive amount of 2’s and fours!).Shitty Wooden Table 6-4-2019 Or perhaps jot down about going to the dermatologist… mine and Kateri’s dermatologist… and him taking some of my flesh so that he can send it through the postal service to have someone in Massachusetts look at it… and all of the things that could pop in the head after that experience! (neither Dr. Dan or I are exactly worried about the results… nothing to lose sleep over while waiting… just precautionary). Yup, I was gonna write about those experiences and the significance each of them had on me as I go through this widower process and further into the present… but then I started looking at motorcycles on Craigslist.

    Widower Notes n Thoughts:

    • I think if one of the goals in my new life is to ride a motorcycle across the country… maybe I should learn how to ride a motorcycle…?… maybe?

      I can honestly give you the sage advice to learn to ride a motorcycle before buying one. I love your thought pattern.

        Yes! I might get a little further!… and increase the chances of making it in one piece!

      Darren I love the hanging flowers at the school house. The table is cool — I think you are quite talented. Now if I built a table, it could be described as a shitty little table. But yours? I don’t think so. Good you went to the dermatologist. Always good to check things out.
