I had my Zoom call with a guy from Max’s bank this morning. The guy was five minutes late getting on the call. I showed him my driver’s license and then answered a few questions about Max. He then spent 15 minutes on his computer doing whatever it was he was doing. He finally said we are good to go and the cashier’s check would be sent and I should have it within 10 business days. Still not sure what that was all about but another hoop to jump through is completed.
After the call I went to Emporia to buy some groceries. I hadn’t gotten any for two weeks or so. Got what I wanted and then came home. It was a quick trip to town.
Haven’t done much since I got home. It has been a quiet afternoon at home. I did call my bank and gave them directions on what to do with a CD that is maturing in September. It is a IRA and I have to start taking distributions next year so could only renew it for a one year term. This will be new for me as I turn 73 next year. Wonder if the laws will change between now and then? I didn’t see any changes about IRA mandatory distributions in the new tax law but I sure could have missed it.
Sitting in that in-between space on all the things I have pending. Nothing moved on any of them today but trusting something’s will tomorrow.
Nothing on my calendar until the home visit for Kathy on Thursday. Still don’t know what that is about but guess I will find out Thursday. No plans for the weekend after that.
I would really like to get back doing some Death Doula work and help people write out their final wishes on paper. Everyone, regardless of income, age, etc. needs to have a medical power of attorney and an executor of their affairs for after they die. I can help with that paperwork if you don’t have yours in writing. Call me and let’s find some time to get it done. Settling Max’s estate reminded me of the need for a legally named executor and named beneficiaries on every account.
Today the empty space felt comforting. Not sure how much longer that will be though. Also not sure what I am going to do when I get my pending list cleared up. Too much empty space time is almost intimidating to me.
Grateful the Max’s bank account is closed and the funds are on their way, grateful the pantry is restocked, and grateful for me ease with empty space today.
