Dearest,
I did talk to you last night but this site lost it. We had 18” of new snow! With what’s on the ground now that’s about 30” down. Tonight it’s supposed to get down to 0°. That’s F not C! All the shoveling / snow blowing is finally done! My back hurts! Time for more snow!
Spent all day running from Lawyer to bank to bank calling David, e-mailing Nick, trying to get started on the estate settlement. Then at 4:00 I got the call “ send everything back, we have to start over” the court got the date wrong! I flipped out! This is not Chutes and Ladders, this is my life! What a bunch of fools! Nobody wants to do their job, nobody wants to show up for work. David is off until Monday, I called him on his cell, Monday the banks are closed, the courts too I assume. I may never get this done! All that driving, all that time, all that effort for nothing, it’s so annoying.
The grapefruits are “grapefruit” size and starting to turn yellow, I’m hoping that this is a good thing. The front walk is all ice again. I bought myself some of those maple creams that you used to buy me, every time I eat one I think about you and, I don’t seem to enjoy them so much. I guess I liked them mostly because you bought them for me. Did get my will redone, I’m going to have to have a sit down with Kristin about where every thing is. Your files are still as you left them, I updated with new statements of course. My files are the same mess that they were always in. I never even got around to doing the end of year stuff, it’s still on my list though.
I made a few calls to old friends today, Leora, Tamsin, Tim, etc. no one except Tim has gotten back yet. We had a nice chat, I got to catch up on all the gossip. Some people still haven’t heard what happened. I was remembering all the fun we had with those folks. We had, at minimum, a party a week to attend and the winters just flew by. Remember that Christmas that we rented the whole bar and staggered en masse over to the theater and staged “The Drunken Christmas Show”? Every one does, it was one for the books. Ken as Santa,. you and Tamsin as Victoria. We laughed till we cried, seems so sweet now, and so sad.
Till the curtain, Your Ken

Ken,
Sweet memories. Sweet dreams.
Blessings

Ken,
Sorry you are having problems with the estate. Funny how when they call for information it is imperative that we get back to them immediately and when we call them........they put us down to return the calls the 12th of never. Frankly I think Shakespeare had the best idea......you know.....the \"First let\'s.....\" one.
Sorry about the snow and your back, sorry about the Maple Creams, sorry the memories are sad. It does get better.........I am just sorry it can\'t be \"right now\".

Snow snow and more snow. You guys got the worst of it. Here is Pa. we only got around 6 inches, but more is on the way a clipper will hit on Saturday and give us another 3-5. I am glad that I finally learned how to use the snow blower. Shoveling was killing my back. Grapfruit turning yellow should be a good thing. That how we get it in the stores, yellow with a touch of red. Don\'t over do and hurt yourself more, ok ? I hope the legal stuff gets resolved, it does seem to take forever. Have a good night. Jane
I understand about these places not getting with the program! Oh, how frustrating! And often i wonder if these people even work in the same office or if there computers are linked???
When your struggling to get through each day, struggling to come to terms with your new unwanted way of living,struggling to care when you are only half the person you were, the last thing you have the energy to struggle with is financial details....thinking of you Wendy
Here it is 6 AM and I\'m awake again. I must have, with the help of Xanax, gotten four hours sleep. The lawyer is on me for the inventory. When I had my hearing naming me executrix, like his will was not enough, paid for the papers, got home and found Dick\'s name wrong on all of them. My last name was right. Don\'t you think they know his was the same? It was close(G) The lawyer said she usually checks them. So, I got to pay a messenger service to have her sec. take them over to the courthouse. I hate this pain & like it\'s not enough it seems everyone wants to make it worse. Nothing is good anymore. I wonder if I will ever feel happiness again.I don\'t enjoy food anymore. That & music was so much a part of our lives. Our times to escape. I would settle for numb right now. I just want my stomach to stop churning & the tears to stop flowing. I know they help but enough already. I lost my 16 year old Cocker in April. I use Restasis because my eyes don\'t tear???? I may have to take King to the vet today. Just so afraid that trying to get him into the car might injure him more. At least we are having a heat wave today and at last the ice & snow should be gone. Of course that means the ground will be slush & I could get stuck getting to the only place I can back up to a porch allowing him to walk into the wagon. I was doing a lot of these things when Dick was sick but it did not seem so hard. Hes a G. Shepherd & around 90 pounds. Hes gained so much weight since Dick passed. He is in mourning also. He wants comfort food. He is 11 now & had a major illness while Dick was in the hospital. I hope you manage to get those in power to start getting it right! Hugs, Val
