Update
I'm going to shorten up these entries because I know all too well that the more I expound on what and how things are going on, the less likely it is to see publication.
Things are still moving. Plenty left to do with Dad's estate. Mom is dragging her feet, which I expected, but it doesn't make it any less annoying. I let her forget about it last week while she went to my brother's for Thanksgiving. It was important this year to have family close. I think I'm doing well, all things considered. I've been able to spread myself around to work, Mom, and my own life, minus a couple of days of depression. My brother has been having a rough time since it's just him and his wife in Maryland. He came in last weekend to visit, and ended up taking Mom down on Monday in order to beat the weather. We had a good time, and I think it perked both of them up. I'm sure it did me a lot of good that I can't particularly see at the moment. Maybe just the fact that I feel something close to normal is evidence in and of itself. But there's still a lot that needs to be done by the end of the month, and it's making me nervous.
