I'm sorry about your loss, shrift. I hope your relatives are less problematic than you expect, and that things go easily for you and your mom.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Ahrg. Just had to make a late night run and hunt for keys. Co-catsitter didn't realize I had a set and so hid the keys on the property. Even though she knows where I live and could have shoved them through the mailslot (and it is on the way.) Anyway, didn't feel comfortable leaving them under a rock for a day, not on that street, so went and found them. They have a lot of rocks.

My shoes arrived from Zappos yesterday, but I didn't get around to opening the box until just now. And for some reason, Zappos included a can of Red Bull in my order. Um. Whaaat?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
All I can come up with is an obscure joke involving Hermes (he was fast because his shoes HAD WINGS -- and Red Bull GIVES YOU WINGS -- so there's the tenuous Red Bull/Zappos connection).
Yeah, I got nothing.

Somebody needed packing material, and the next guy on the line wasn't watching his Red Bull stash close enough?

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
they expect you to be so excited about your new shoes that you'll stay up all night dancing around the house in them and need chemical assistance to stay awake the next day?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm sorry for your loss, shrift.

The status is NOT quo.
Shrift, I'm very sorry for your loss.
