Plan for the House
I spent some time thinking about a plan of attack on the house. I decided that instead of tackling the garage, I'll work on the kitchen and dining room and clear off the tables. That will give me more room to maneuver. Deanna found more mail in mom's stuff from the nursing home and hospital, so I need to go through that stuff. And that means that I can stay in my pajamas.
I had some "me" time on Friday night and it helped. I need time to relax and think.
I decided to try the Factor prepared meals plan. It's kind of pricey, but boy, am I going to eat well. I asked for calorie-conscious meals but also their chef's choice meals. I have one meal of filet mignon, one of mahi mahi, and a couple with salmon (and some chicken and pasta meals). I am going to eat well! I'll have to remember to skip the following week because I'll be gone for my onsite meeting for work in Illinois. Speaking of which, Deanna said that she would take care of the cats. Zara was brave and said hello to her. Mimi hid.
I think that part of the reason that the cats like the house is that each of them can have their own space. The back bedroom is Zara's.
There's a table in front of the window in the dining room, and Mimi likes it. There are birds and squirrels outside. Kitty TV.
Hmm, I just realized that the pond guy never called me back. I'll have to track him down. He texted me when I was taking my nap, saying that he missed the email and that he's in the area. I texted him back when I got up, but he might be gone now.
I read an op-ed in the Washington Post by someone who is dying of a lung disease. He said, "There's nothing wrong with dying. All the best people have done it." Just so.
I just added Freecycle where my mom's house is because I might want to give away some stuff. And I found a place that refurbishes hearing aids and gives them to people in need. Mom had some really expensive ones, so I'm glad that someone will be able to use them. Hmm, I need to pick up some bubble mailers.
I submitted a Kroger order and forgot the bubble mailers. I guess that I'll go to Meijer tomorrow and get some. Paid my bills. Got my Kroger order. I'm assuming that the pond guy isn't coming by tonight. Discovered that my mom's other life insurance policy is so old that it still has my dad as beneficiary. Emailed him to ask him what he wants me to do. Took a nap.
I was tickled by the Washington Post's description of the UK's King Charles' coronation: "There will be a lot of bling." Indeed.
I might have found someone to mow the lawn. He said to give him a call and he'll come over. I need to get some cash.
I started looking at the information Deanna got from St. Regis church about the choices for the Funeral Mass. It's hard to decide because that isn't my belief system.
I'm going to go to bed. A TaskRabbit guy is scheduled to clean out the garden beds tomorrow, and I need to make sure that Mom has waste bags for it. I might need to run to Meijer before Italian.
