It has been a busy couple of days.
It is 5:30 am and I should be sleeping-but I cannot. I’ ve been on the bed dozing in and out but never getting truly to sleep. I’m not sure why since I have been in the room since 7:30 PM last evening.
Yesterday, was not the worst day of my life, but it ranks right up there in the top 10. We had to go to my sisters apartment and clean out what we could-a mover will take care of the rest. That was hard-as I think it would be for anyone to have outsiders rooting through the random bits of paper and trying to keep things of value.
Today my older sister and I finished earlier than we thought we would with getting adminstrative arrangements done. We were both mentally drained-so we said to heck with it. Went to a shopping mall for some retail therapy. We also decided to go see a movie rather than simply sulk back to the room. As fate would have it, the choices were not so great-mostly action fills that neither of us wanted to see. So The Bucket List it was. Would not have been my first choice and in hindsight given the circumstances maybe not the best of choices-but it was good nonetheless. The movie gives one lots to think about and besides- I like Morgan Freeman.
I’m going to try to go back to bed-just to doze. Good sleep is out for tonight me thinks.
Stay tuned.
Good luck Skippy. I hope you can find some peace in all this. You have people rooting for you.
Ditto Buck’s comment, Skippy.
Skippy, you and your family are in my prayers, and I am sorry for your loss. I lost my wife in 99 and understand a little of your pain. I will pray for your peace…
The clean out felt like an extreme violation of the privacy of my mother when my sisters and I had to go thru her home. Know how you feel. Thinking of you.
