This morning I called Max’s bank to find out if they had received the packet of papers I had sent them so I can close out his accounts. They finally figured out they had after about a 20 minute conversation. Not sure why they weren’t all together but she had to find each of the four pieces individually. They then informed me they had to schedule a Zoom meeting for next Monday to confirm my identity. WTF? I had mailed them a copy of my driver’s license as they requested. She told me after the Zoom meeting there would be two more steps and then they could close out his accounts and send me a cashier’s check. She didn’t tell me what those two steps are.
I went to a lunch meeting with three friends. We are trying to decide the best way to proceed with a way to raise some funds to help undocumented immigrants have an interview with a legal firm to determine if they have a path to citizenship. Not sure we reached any decisions but it is fun to spend time with them anyways.
After lunch I went to Emporia to meet up with Jason to get some papers notarized at a local bank. I took the papers that needed notarized so I could cash a small savings bond Max had. Then I got the rental house deed transfer papers signed and Jason had to sign another form. That didn’t take long.
Went to the post office after that and mailed the two packets of documents – one to the Department of Treasury and the other to my attorney in KC.
I was going to stop for groceries but felt utterly exhausted and couldn’t make myself stop. Took a chair nap for a bit after I got home but my phone kept going off with messages and calls.
My realtor found a roofer that can put a new roof and guttering on the property that I have listed for sale next week and at a lower price than the guy that I have used in the past. That is good news! Someone called about the Detention Center project and needed some information about it. Got several texts about other matters.
I finally decided to leave my phone in the living room and laid down in my bed. I slept good for about an hour but woke up with a really bad case of acid reflux. That stuff is nasty! It took longer than normal for it to resolve. Not sure what I ate that would have caused this. I seem to have problems with it for a bit and then it goes away and then comes back hard for a bit.
Got another donation for the Detention Center Detainees in the mail today and two more people selected things off the wish list on Amazon. I so appreciate those that are supporting this project.
This afternoon another person called from Max’s bank to tell me she is working on closing his accounts and that I should have a cashier’s check within 5 – 7 days. The things that make me scratch my head and go WTF? Not sure now if I still have to do the Zoom call Monday or not. I don’t think their right hand knows what their left hand is doing in that bank.
Feels like I made some movement on my pending list today with getting the savings bond information sent off, got documents signed to transfer ownership of Jason’s house, and maybe made progress on closing out Max’s bank account. Yesterday the people called about Kathy’s application we have been working on and it sounds like that is almost completed. Maybe one of these days soon I will clear my pending list. I have been juggling my own things plus settling Max’s estate and helping Kathy get her things in order. I told Kathy today I have become a profession hoop jumper after having to jump through lots of hoops to untangle knots in managing these things. I have learned lots in the process.
No plans for the weekend. I maybe have a Zoom meeting Monday with Max’s bank. Thursday someone is coming to do some sort of in-home assessment for Kathy to finish out her application. Other than those two things I have lots of empty space next week. Hoping I can continue to clean up my pending list. We should finalize the transfer of Jason’s house next week and am hoping the life insurance policy Kathy had that we are requesting a refund for comes through next week too.
Feeling a bit better this evening after waking up from my nap this afternoon feeling icky. Whenever I have an episode like today it makes me appreciate my good health even more. Maybe that is why they happen?
It did feel good to see some movement in some of the pending projects today. Some of these have taken a long time to resolve. There is a timeline thing that had to happen and I couldn’t take the next step until something else happened. I sure have been getting lots of life lessons about the Universe timing and my patience.
Grateful the deed transfer is in progress, grateful the closing of Max’s bank account is almost completed (maybe?), and grateful my realtor found a cheaper roof replacement guy that can do the job sooner.
