Waiting for payment for 5 of Clarke's watercolors. They are to be displayed in one of the hospital lobbies, with a plaque about his place in the art community. And today we moved a lot of furniture out (a distribution), Tomorrow an appointment to find out how the bid process is going ( Read more... )

It has been suggested that I have been indulging in obsessive behaviour when I prefer (I don't insist, especially to any helpers) to have the wet laundry hung out in a certain order so that as it is taken down and folded into the basket, all items that are destined for a particular room, starting with the one closest to the back door, and working ( Read more... )

And I seem to be stuck in it.  This estate stuff is comparable to being stuck in treacly quicksand, if there were such stuff. I begin to think that my brain is not working as well as it used to, since the ground rules seem to shift constantly. The other problem with  this organizing process is that I do not have enough room to maneuver, literally ( Read more... )

My "auld acquaintances", wherever you are: I hope that life will be good to you next year (this year, if that's where you are). I still appreciate you, still think of you and how you were there at the right time - friends indeed!

That medication (Reclast) that landed me in the hospital last May? Apparently it worked, so all that grief was not in vain.

In the meanwhile, a minor spanner has been thrown in the works: sister in law wants to buy the house. Can ( Read more... )

Where is everybody????

The dislocated finger is stubbornly refusing to heal. Some days it looks like it might be getting better, but then it swells again, and is still quite weak. Taping it to its neighbor keeps it from accidentally being pushed around, but that creates referred pain to my little finger. I just got the bill for the orthopedist. $200.01 for him to come in ( Read more... )

Still pushing the puzzle pieces around. We are not allowed to have a sale at the storage unit, so all the art equipment we organized and hauled down there must come back to the carport for a sale here, preferably on a day when it is not raining. Did I mention that it is now the rainy season? The CPA has quit for health reasons, the insurance now ( Read more... )

I'm really missing my dirdottir and her munchkin. Somehow, being farther away than just far away makes it worse.
