This is an old revision of the document!

Hubby here.

Will Karen's voice forever linger in my head? There is little I can do in my life and not 'hear' Karen saying something in my head.

• “That was not a good us of money.” I bought a new self setting clock that showed the date so I could be sure what day it was. Harder than you might think with all of the unexpected trips out of town.
• “You have no respect for me”. Several things would make this one come up. I walked to fast for her tendinitis. I did not take my shoes off when I walked across the kitchen floor, from the door to the garbage can on the other side of the kitchen.
• “Stop wasting food”. I'm having lots of problems with this one right now. Keep buying stuff at farmers market and it goes bad before I use it. Karen always said “I made enough to feed an army” when I cooked.
• “Don't make crumbs!” Karen was fastidious when it came to cleaning, a crumb anyplace was not a good thing, especially for me. House was clean but cluttered. Now it is less cluttered and less clean.
• “Shift into 3rd gear. I drive the van all the time.” We live at the top of a very long hill. If I was driving the van with Karen, I'd hear that if I had not gotten around to downshifting soon enough to suit her. I seem to hear this one most days on the way to work, or just about any other time I go down the hill.

I'm sure I'll be adding more here.
