(Did I mention we moved? We did. Much better house. And it has a natural gas -powered fire pit in the backyard!!)
I did not know that! I'm going to imagine you finally moved into the Addams Family mansion you both deserve.
About to take Matilda to therapy, then swing by the bank to see if I can deposit this big check in JZ's name (we do have a joint account) or if I have to wait until I get the death cert and all that.
Tomorrow Matilda returns to school.
Day after tomorrow I go to Georgia.
I'm trying to fend off family expectations about the funeral because I just can't plan it at the moment, and I don't want it to land on Emmett and Matilda's birthdays.
One thing at a time.
Oh, Hec, so wish I could take some of this off your hands. But I couldn't. You'd end up with a forkless celebration of life on the worst day ever because I sent out a resume once that said I was detail-oriented--I do have my moments, I suppose-, but not that time. Because it was misspelled, and I didn't notice for a week.
I don't claim that anymore, obviously.
David I'm so sorry to hear that you family expectations are causing more strife.
Amy, yikes! Don't... go to Longwood Gardens, I guess? Eek.
Atropa, congratulations on the move... and the fire pit.
David, wishing you cessation of family being a pain and safe travels. I'm so sorry this visit to your sister has to happen, for all the reasons.
I know I missed a bunch of stuff. I am thinking supportive things when I read.
I'm pretty much JenP here.
But I do have a bluesky invite code to offer if anyone wants one.
Great! I'll send it to you via Messenger?
Family's not really being a pain. They just expect that a funeral announcement would have followed by now, and that's not a crazy expectation.
Anyway, I ran a berjillion errands with Matilda today in advance of her returning to school tomorrow.
The complicated route I took to hit all my stops had all the genuine satisfaction of a solving a sudoku. Because I had to factor in one way streets, streets with no turns, cross city routes and hit the parking on every stop too.
Ehh, it's too much to explain but if you've lived in San Francisco and ever had to run 7 errands in two hours you know what I mean.
