Great. Now my landlord sent me an email lecturing me about my responsibilities as a tenant, because I told her that I won't know for another week or two whether I'll be staying next year. I don't really care too much about if I have to pay for an extra month's rent -- I know that my parents will lend me the money if I need it -- but I really don't need the lecture right now.

Hubby is reaching the end of his tether. Getting a car that will pass inspection is being beyond frustrating, getting his car to pass inspection is not working--it's actually worse than when he started fixing what needed fixed--and he thought he'd have more time to mentally prep for the bone marrow self-donation they're starting him on. Monday is the last day we have to get car things taken care of before hospitalized chemo, surgery for bone marrow lines, and two weeks of daily runs to Salt Lake before a month plus in isolation. We have to get the title for the Jeep, go get the emissions test that didn't get done today for the inspection and hope it passes, then start the registration process. We've got the money for this. We don't have the time.

He asked me if I wanted to do anything for Mother's Day. I said, "Sleep in and have no one tell us anything bad."

Our wings are not tired.
That is a serious amount of stuff to deal with considering the mental energy is already spent. ~ma for smoother completion of the car crap.

Connie, I'm sorry that you have so much on your plate right now. Keeping my fingers crossed that you are able to get the car registered.
We had to cancel our Mother's Day plans today because Mom is having a diverticulosis attack and, therefore, is not up to going out to a restaurant.

My mother has been talking about this of late. She's looking at it from the logical point of view. Funerals and burials cost money. And we have never had money to burn. To her, it seems like a win-win situation. We are worried my sister will flip her wig at the notion. When she visits in a few weeks, we will be talking about it, in hopes of convincing her now, while mom is healthy. But sister does not like talking about anything that deals with that topic. No sir-ee-bob. As if that will keep our parents alive forever.
Well, then, she can pay for what she wants. I understand if she feels that there needs to be something, but if she is the only one that feels that way, why should you pay for it?

Ugh Connie, that's a huge amount on your plates. I hope his procedures go as smoothly as possible, and that the car stuff all sorts itself out.

Darby is currently pitching in at the new house by gleefully digging up half of what I planted yesterday. I'm sure from her perspective hole-digging is an unexpected new shared interest.

Connie, tons of comfort~ma! I hope the next few days go a bit smoother.
Well, then, she can pay for what she wants. I understand if she feels that there needs to be something, but if she is the only one that feels that way, why should you pay for it?We shall see how she reacts to mom's decision. She will be visiting at the end of the month.
