Am, too, worried about Gud.

I am also gonna try being more productive today. I am one of the people who have as much stuff to do as before, but being at home does not encourage productiveness nor concentration. Also, being with migraines for about 36 hours of each week because the seasons' change does this to me is no fun either. And yet, all these deadlines are staring at me, y'know?

I sure do like that esse, glad to see them back around here.

JZ, your dad made some wonderful people.

My mom didn't have stacks of bills hidden away but she had a LOT of individual CDs at her bank. Every time she put away a hundred bucks, she opened up a new CD. We were dealing with those for years. She also kept all her bank statements since the 1970s, and she kept them neatly organized in plastic grocery bags in a cedar chest. *facepalm*

My sister and I bought our mom the casket she would've wanted - the cheapest one they had! Well, maybe not the absolute cheapest, but it was plain and simple and just right. There is no way she'd have "put money in the ground". Same reason we didn't bury her with her jewelry, except her wedding ring.

Oh man, I've got to quit crying and get to work.

Gud, if you're out there, please check in. Even if it's just to say hello.

JZ, your role right now is to grieve. Hec's job as an in-law is to keep things going, at least at a basic level. I'd say the two of you are getting it exactly right.

Being productive today would be better. Yesterday I ended up napping for about 3 hours because I was nodding out at my computer.

I sent an email to Gud's profile address. Hope we hear from him soon.

Firefly kitties!! That is awesome.

Being productive today would be better.

This! The last two days have been slightly lazy with more browsing than work. I still have not done this one thing the big boss asked of me that requires questioning someone else's work. Must do that today.

Firefly puppies! Aw.

JZ, I'm so glad you have David to support you through this.

Trying to figure out what to do about unemployment. When you file an initial claim in PA, they tell you when to actually file for specific weeks, and my last day to file is today. But I haven't received the PIN number I need in the mail yet, and the number to call is constantly busy. I mean, I'm not surprised, given how many claims are being filed, but I don't know if this means I'm screwed or what. Bah.

They're virus testing all the nursing homes etc today in Cambridge, residents and staff alike. Here's hoping we all pass the test....

Dammit, apparently switching between apps on my phone now means losing my post. Supportive words to all of you!

Test~ma!

JZ, when Mom's mother passed away, she didn't find a secret safe, but she was finding little caches of money the whole time she was going through the house. And it took weeks to go through - Nana had a metric boatload of STUFF in the house. So much so that Mom's been on a keep-tidy kick ever since; she's determined me and my sister won't have to go through that.
