that was Linda's way of asking if anyone wanted lox and cream cheese for breakfast. salmon was a staple in the house, and now i've discovered a wonderful purveyor who is at the local farmers market which is now extended to all year round! we are happy. and the fish guy has lemon pepper, dill and plain. i still have to try the small pieces that my dentist gave me from his fishing trip.
i went to savemart today to get asparagus. when i read the grocery flyers on saturday, i realized that is has been forever since i was in a supermarket. between the aforementioned farmers market, Costco and Trader Joe's, i really can't remember the last time.
so i eat lox and cream cheese, and remember Linda.
i drive past the South Bay Oncology office at Hamilton and Winchester, and remember all the infusions she had there, and i tried to visit each time.
at Le Petit Trianon and the concert Sunday, i remember Linda because the women's chorus sang there once and we attended a wide variety of shows there.
i think about starting the partners loss grief group next week and wonder what i will say.
i think about the upcoming Halloween party and think of Linda's fallback costume:
doctor's lab coat, stethescope and bag, and the identifying sign: half a paradox (pair of docs?) too subtle.
i have an appointment with an attorney found by my sister to start the creation of a will and trust for me and my assets. i think of Linda, and how organized she had things. gotta get that done.
i think of Linda a lot.
