And Still More Progress
I was able to get an educator's discount on Adobe Creative Cloud, so I installed Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Adobe Premiere.
The cats wouldn't let me go to sleep without feeding them! I don't know where Zara's meds went. I must have knocked them off the table when I was cleaning it.
Did my usual morning routine and took a nap. I woke up groggy. Apparently, there is something like a "sleep hangover" you can get (I forget the proper term).
There is a form from an annuity of my aunt's that I've been ignoring because it's $30 a month. As far as I was concerned, it was worth $30 a month not to fill out the form. But now I read that I can get a lump sum of $1500, and I'm like, yes please. Yes, I know that it's the same money and I'm laughing at myself.
I'm looking for a day that I can drop off the clothes to be mended and Mom's canes, walker, and bath chair. (Someone on Facebook pointed me to a place that would take them.) Monday would be good, but I'll probably have to pick up the car. Friday would be good except the junk guys will be here. Maybe Wednesday.
Oh ugh. I scheduled my next batch of singing lessons starting next week! I don't know why I did that. That'll make things easier though with the person coming to pack Mom's clothes.
I read an article about how singing is good for you, especially choral singing. I'm working on it! I found a community chorus in Champaign that doesn't even require an audition. That might be a place to start.
Jammed through my shower in case the TaskRabbit person gets here early, though past history suggests that TaskRabbit people are never early. And yep, she said that her morning task ran over and she'll be here at 4 instead of 3:30. She's here now.
Got the printer working and the Medical Guardian device packed up. Filled out the annuity form, only to find that I need info from my aunt's death certificate. Made inroads on the kitchen. I need to dump stuff out, but it's storming.
I think that I need a new file folder called "Stuff in Mom's handwriting that I can't bear to get rid of" and date it. Maybe in 10 years, I'll be able to get rid of it.
I'm running out of steam.
I have to hand it to the TaskRabbit person. She persevered and bagged all my mom's clothes, which has got to be a really tedious task. There are a lot of scarves for me to go through though. I'm not quite done with the kitchen, but I made a lot of progress. My back hurts, and I'm going to lie down for a while after feeding the cats.
Mom's zig zag plant is perking up after I watered it. I'm glad because I like it.
Tim (my aunt's executor) told me to contact the annuity company to see what to do to get my mom's share of the annuity. He said that the money wasn't theirs to keep. So I'll call them.
My back is hurting again. I'm going to put the laundry in the dryer and collapse.
