It hardly seems possible that a week plus has already gone by.  Been cleaning and sorting things out.  Getting some yard work done as well.  That is one of the things that feels so weird, to be able to go outside and get some work done and not have to worry about checking on Rob.  Another thing that is somewhat unusual is if we want/need to go somewhere, we can go.  I no long have to worry about either having an aide here or for Chris to stay home.  Been getting some of the phone calls taken care of that needed to be done.  Going to the credit union today to get the papers taken care of on the life insurance that we have on our home equity line of credit.  Then, the balance of the loan will be paid off, if I'm not mistaken.  I think I will also go to the social security office and get the ball rolling on the one time death benifit that they allow since I am under the age of 60, I believe that is all I am entitled to.   

Chris went back to school yesterday and when he got home, I said you look pissed.  He was.  His instructor marked him failed for his exam as well as for any other work they did while he was out.  I think that is so wrong pulling that crap on him.  He went to the school on Tuesday and explained to the instructor about his dad's and uncle's passing and left under the impression that when he returned to school this week, they would discuss rescheduling his exam.  You best believe, I will do what I can to see that he gets to take that exam.  That is sooooo wrong to do that to anyone who happens to miss the exam due to a death in the family.

Well, time to go and get a few things done before I leave the house.  I want to get to the social security office before they open or you end up waiting forever to see someone and if I'm one of the 1st people there, with a little luck, I'll be out of there by 10 AM.  I hope everyone has a great day!
