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.
Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

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.

My sister knows real estate law, and I talked to her about my lease issue, and she told me what to email back to my landlord. I'm kind of scared that, when I send it, the landlord will respond with another screed telling me what a horrible person I am, and I really just can't deal with that right now.

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.
Hil, I hope your landlord's next tennant is your old doctoral thesis advisor.
Connie, I have no words. May the strength and solutions you need come - with fanfare or without.
