Doncha think it's kind of funny that yesterday I posted "Tomorrow is another day" and then I said, something like "at least that's what I think will happen..." and then....on-line there was NO tomorrow (which I actually today) Never mind, maybe ya hadda be there.

My bro-in-law and his wife and I have had a talk......none of us want my hubby's dgt to have POA over Nannie if something happens to her. The dgt used to have $$$$$ in her eyes and mind, with regards to Nannie's property, house, and all her belongings. Anyway, it is going to end up that we will have Nannie's youngest son have guardianship; His wife now has him on some much needed meds, thank goodness. I sure do not want guardianship! The bro and his wife have had a 'come to Jesus' moment with hubby gone, realizing how much of my life has gone into taking care of Nannie. They say they are not going to try to take anything away from me or push something on me. 

Basically that means I can continue to live here with Nannie, and maybe get paid for it? I don't know. The whole Nannie thing isn't going to be any problem at this time. When she finally dies, I suppose their lawyer and my lawyer can duke it out. Anyway I have a roof over my head and if it does turn out I only get 1/2 the value of the property when Nannie passes, I will still have a large amount of money and can get somewhere else to live. Too much to think of now, and nothing that needs to be done right away, a good thing, because I have no idea of where I would choose to live.

I finally found the SSA office, and oddly, every person who had given me directions had their lefts and rights opposite of what they are. Someone made it very easy by saying the street it is on is at the stoplight after Mr C's restaurant. Jeesh, that made it simple for me because I knew where Mr C's is, and lo and behold, there was a sign at that intersection pointing the way. I can't go there until I get the death certificates from the funeral home, anyway, but at least I KNOW where it is now!

I paid $500 down-payment for hubby's cremation and 10 death certificates. All told, I can pay off the remaining $900 at $50/mo. But if possible, I am hoping to get it paid off  faster if I can; but at least I know I can handle $50/mo. The woman who runs the place is very nice. She is going to help me get an obit out to the local paper, and I can get in touch w/ the Asheville paper, send them a photo and an obit. That's where he lived for so many years, I want people to be able to see his face and say, "Oh my gosh! I knew him!"  She said I can probably get the death certificates by Friday, and the ashes, as well. Later, I can look on line to see if I can find some ash-container necklaces that are less expensive than the ones at the Funeral home, but those are actually not horrifically priced there, anyway.  Time enough for that, though.

So, tomorrow I am going to take Nannie and Momo out in the car for a ride, and I can go by the bank and get some more cash-on-hand. Then we can pick up something to eat. Momo will be happy to be included and Nannie will be able to point out all the houses where she (didn't) use to live....?

THEN! I will begin to start to pursue my cleaning-out and discarding-things projects. In effect "Begin to start" means>>>>>At my leisure, of course!

My head is tapped out so I will stop here.......

I wonder if we, here, will have a Wednesday site in which to post? We'll see what we see when we see it; aaaaanndd / oooorrrrrr if we don't see it, we won't. I know this because:

I'm a smaht kid frum Nawth of Baustin, y'know......! ? Yass I yam!
