Kathy and I headed for KC at 8:00 this morning. I had to stop at Flying J to get gas. We made it to KC 15 minutes early.
We met with my estate attorney. He is drawing up a will, a living will and a power of attorney for Kathy. We go back next Monday at 10:00 for her to sign the papers.
This attorney is pleasant and easy to work with. If anyone needs a good trust or estate attorney let me know and I will pass along his information. He is a bit pricey but I think most attorneys are these days.
We were only with the attorney for about 15 minutes. After we were done we went to Costco. Didn’t find much to buy this time. We stopped at Chipotle and had lunch and then came home. It was a quick trip up and back.
Both of us came home exhausted. When the attorney asked when we wanted to come back I told him not this week. I can’t handle two trips to KC in one week anymore.
I did some thinking about Max’s affairs. I worked on the probate papers last night and was thinking about them today. I have decided to wait to file until we get an answer about one of his accounts. Once that is known, I will then know if I need to wait a bit longer or if I can proceed now. I have two years to file so no real rush in filing.
I also decided to wait on setting a date for the Celebration of Life. We don’t have the cremains back yet and I don’t want to proceed until we have them. I also need to wait until I know if I need surgery or not. I should find that out next Wednesday.
Sometimes I get in a hurry and do things out of order. I need to slow down and allow things to unfold a bit before I push some things through. This is an order to things that makes things go smoothly. The trick is figuring out the order and allowing that to dictate the schedule. Sometimes you don’t know the order until you know.
Tomorrow I have to take Ellie to the Vet at 3:30. Hoping I can find Tagen while I am in town so I can talk to him. He had to work this afternoon so I couldn’t meet up with him on my way back through town early afternoon. I would like to stop and get a few groceries but with the cat I may not be able to. I’ll see how hot it is tomorrow and if I think it would be safe to stop. I may have to make two trips to town tomorrow.
I have Friday and the weekend free. Nothing going on that I know of now. We make another trip to KC next Monday.
Next week I will need to go to Emporia and get the utilities of Tagen’s house changed back to me. He will be moving out within the next couple of weeks. Once he is out and I do a good cleaning of the house, I will list it for sale. Wish I could use the broker that sold my last rental house but I will no longer do business with the firm she is associated with. The broker did an outstanding job but I no longer trust the firm she works with. Anyone know a great broker?
Feeling a bit empty this evening. I took the pressure off myself by delaying the probate process and celebration of life. Taking that off created a void that I am feeling. I will do some meditation and allow that void to be filled with light. It is easy for me to drop back in to old habits of doing instead of being. When I come back to being I feel the void in my body.
Grateful for a safe trip to and from KC today, grateful I can postpone the probate process and the celebration of life gathering, and grateful I can go to bed early tonight.
