And HERE we go....
Sniffles are now stuck (thank god, lol) since the medicine is working and people won't avoid me like I have the plague due to the sneezing and runny nose anymore, lol. SO...
Went through my financial stuff yesterday. The whole death of the X got me thinking about where I am as far as organization for my son if I died. And I wasn't... organized, that is. So I wrote a list of where everything is, who has the power of attorney, where he can find all my legal papers including my will, and I realized I need to make some changes at the banks regarding payable upon death kind of thing. So that's up next to do after the holidays. Oh, and life insurance - I want to make sure there's enough to cover all expenses so he gets the ability to make good decisions when I'm gone, like whether to keep the house which would be perfect for the large family he wants to have, or to sell the house, or rent out the house for extra income... AND, I wrote my own obituary so he didn't have to do that either. I'm leaving all that information someplace where he'll find it right away in the event of my death or severe injury. I know... don't want to think about it either, but after seeing what he's going through with my X's estate, I want this to be easy for him. And being prepared make ME feel better...
We got a little snow last night.... I'm definitely starting to feel better because I want to go cross country skiing today - but of course I can't yet. But this morning, I'm getting out of the house and heading up to the ski trail to just look at conditions from the car....
Tomorrow, I am having Christmas alone.... well, alone in that I'm babysitting my granddaughter from 5am until 2pm because her mom and dad have to work. But, again, just where I need to be... last year's Christmas was about the pain of my divorce which led to finding my new beginnings with the New Year's... this year's Christmas is about my inner peace, which I can only see and feel completely when I'm alone - it's that "who I am" thing, "where I want to go" thing.... next year I'm hoping it will be about opening my doors to all my loved ones (friends and family and MAYBE someone new, but then again, maybe not...)
And next week, I'm going to check into online classes for that real estate licensing.... because my whole tax issues is going to come to a head next month and I went over my budget yesterday too. My current job's low wages means my life is going to start sucking away at the remaining savings by June. So this will make me READY.... It's time!
AND, I just learned the movie theater is closed TODAY, but open TOMORROW... being the only one attending The Hobbit tomorrow might just be fun! Hmmm... 3D or 2D, lol... LATER!

Glad you are feeling better! And I love your perspective on the holiday alone. You are finding your way, for sure. And visualizing what you want. It will happen, for sure.
Big hugs...Merry Christmas.
