The point is for THEM to do the work.

sorry, yes

No worries, Catnik. RL comes first even if you want to punch it

I took a short and chilly bike ride to pick up some grocery (peanut oil from asian market and a few breakfast rolls from the bakery) and now I feel all accomplished

Reorganized some kitchen stuff to a way that may be more sensible, or may just get moved back in a day!

((Nod)) I am gradually making progress in my studio. Slow, overwhelming work, but.....

I'm mostly staying out of folks way

Not a bad plan, D.

My studio is home to all my scrapbooking stuff. And my genealogy stuff. And the crates of letters and other documentation and photos from my Paternal grandparents. And Maternal grandparents. And Father. And most of my Mother's stuff.

So.... been overwhelmed but now......

haunted boxes

That's what we call them. It takes a lot of preparation to be ready to look through that stuff. It never gets easier

There's the sheer tonnage, AND the emotional weight. I love the phrase for it.

yeah

Going to call folks. AFK

Good luck and God bless.

Ok. Back. talked to my mom but I managed to navigate it.

woo

My sister's husband still won't sign the papers after 2 years and is a total abusive dick but hey

yeah

is there a way to get it without him agreeing?

like "fuck you, deadline passed"

Not taht I know of. I think she'd have to SUE him

And my sister isn't up to that Sigh

uhg

My folks say they're doing okay. I still worry. They're of that age, you know? And mom esp is not the soul of health

yeah

Are they being smart?

They have gone to pharmacy and grocery store because they must now and then. But overall I think so.

coffee!

Not sure. Honestly, my entire family tends to nod at me a lot, ignore what i say, and then when shit goes south they're very surprised and wonder why I am looking at them with a left eye twitch

Well.... that's all any of us can do, I think.

DH is now reading the news and is actually fretting. Mind, he's one of the most laid back, easy come/go people I've ever met.....

nod I cannot throw stones at the man. ifret for a living

I just stress-ate half a can of pringles

If you need stress to achieve that, you're an amateur. Burp

I can do that when mellow 😉

((chuckle))

Do we plan to kind of gloss over visiting RO?

Not sure. I could drop them off at Baywood, that Barony I ran but I'm not sure it's where Frank would go

is this, like, Almond's Rowan-Oak?

I was thinking it was

me too, but I wanted to be sure

mm found the site

Pine Lodge is probably where they'd head

That was my intent, yes.

Works for me. Close enough to RO but not IN the County Seat.

yes?

Hope that works for folks. We'll breeze through it mostly 🙂
