Camp 6-27-12
On Tuesday after I had my screaming and crying session, well
the crying lasted al day but the screaming stopped. I sat down and paid bills. I knew I was going to come across one that was going to
bother me. It was a $200 hospital
bill for Kathryn. She had been on
a plan where she didn’t have to pay co-pays for a while due to her small
income. But I hadn’t filled out
the paper work that must be done every 90 days. So I called and asked about the bill and if I could get it
reduced and also explained that Kathryn was on that plan before and also that
she had passed away. The lady was
so sweet; She said there was nothing to pay and if any other bills came my way
to call her. She had me take down
her name, number and extension.
Bridget made this go so much better than I thought it would go. She made me feel better and helped my
day take a turn for the better. I
guess this is a lesson in remembering to treat people well in any situation as
you just don’t know what they are going through and you could make a difference
like Bridget did for me.
I went to Michaels to get some decorative stuff to make
myself an apron for Arts and Crafts.
Everyone else had a really cool apron so I thought I should make one
too. It turned out
nice. I will do some touch ups
later but pretty nice for a quick job.
My Mom came over around 5 and then Scott, My Mom and I all
went to Anthony’s for dinner.
Monday was our 29th anniversary so this was our anniversary
dinner. Scott had bought me a beautiful necklace and bracelet. Mom bought us dinner. We had a lovely evening and drive
through the 5 mile drive at Pt. Defiance.
At camp today I was gifted a camp Sweatshirt and a
t-shirt. I was really excited and
happy to receive both of them.
Thanks Rocksie for working this out for me. We did a great deal of organizing for the office and then
Arts and Crafts in the afternoon.
I started about 25 lannies today.
I enjoyed doing this since this was Kathryn’s (Panda’s) deal. I’m so happy she showed me how to make
the more advanced ones. I hope to
carry on for her in her honor. Oh,
the young lady who was taking photos Monday that told me how bad she felt for
me the and how much she liked Panda was wearing a Panda shirt in Panda’s honor
today. I thanked her and gave her
a hug.
I wasn’t expecting to be at camp for dinner, but Scott was
still in Packwood so I stayed. The
girls (Gypsy, Rocksie and Ginger) all helped me find something special to
wear. So I went to dinner as a
brunet. It was Italian Night and
dinner featured Lasagna. It was
good too!
I want to thank the person who wrote about being mad and
wanting to scream when this person thinks about Kathryn being gone. I think you are right that there are
many people who feel this way.
There are many people who feel they have been ripped off and that God
has not dealt us a fair hand. It
is a real shitty deal and I thank you for sharing your feelings with me.
I also want to thank my friend who also shared her
experience as she has walked in my shoes.
As I shared with her I think I would feel guilty if I ever came to
accept Kathryn’s death. I also
shared that Camp is good for me.
It helps me keep that connection with Kathryn and it also allows me to
keep her spirit alive. I never
want it to dime.
Time for bed – Good night
