The two days
The last two days have been spent at the funeral home, my Mom's house wondering where to start and trying to find her will. We found it yesterday, but it was from 1990. My uncle, who has just been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease is the executor of her will, but since he is in really no condition to be doing it and that he feels the way we do, just trying to get thru things as quickly and painlessly as possible, will be doing all the fun legal stuff and financial stuff while we plow thru the house. And do I mean PLOW....but first, we found out also that my mother, who was the one who was always prepared for anything, was not; she didn't have prearrangements made for herself yet we swore up, down and sideways that she had done it when she arranged for Dad. She set up for a double urn, but that's all. So we had to start from scratch otherwise.
We ended up renting a garbage bin (a very large one at that) and it arrived this morning at the house; we started in the back porch, moved on to the back bedroom and then the bathroom and her room....the bin is now HALF FULL!!! And right now I'm tired, dusty and I'm losing my voice. Not sure at this moment if it's from laughing so hard at recollections with my family or from inhaling so much dust*g* Keep in mind, if you will, that I'm still trying my damndest to stay on top of my business at the store esp. with my transfer one week away from today.
Tomorrow we continue to plug away and I hope to at least help the gang get thru alot because I have to be back at work Thursday and Friday morning.
