Freaky Friday What's New?

Hello, Trish and all who will follow:

Im doing much better...I am at peace now with Mom's passing..just still dealing with the funeral home and now that Danny is home and knows about Gramma, I am planning Mom's interment the following Saturday when hopefully, all the grandchildren can attend.  

I'm sure that my sister Susan will not both to attend and, of course, Betsy in Quebec won't be here either due to lack of funds. 

Did I mention that Betsy, my adopted sister has pretty well been confirmed as my cousin? Though Mother took her secret to the grave, the sister of Betsy's birth mother has confirmed the timing and the family information that Betsy was fathered by one of my cousin's who is dead twenty years now.  It sure explains alot of things that I found puzzling.
 
Added to the "drama", is that, so far, we have found FOUR wills written by Mother...this will prove to be interesting. I will be making an appointment with the lawyer next week just to get all this part over with even though the estate cannot be settled til next year when the taxes are completed and Mother's RIFF is probated.  What alot of education I have gained in the past sixteen years of caring for Mom.
 
We had intruders here last night...they rifled thru all the vehicles and took only Derek's GPS...they left behind professional tools and two TVS that we had left on the patio table on the porch while trying to decide what to do with them (from Mom's room). We always keep both Caddies and the Buick locked with no tempting items showing inside the cars . Obviously they were just looking for money and items easy to sell quickly.  Thank goodness they chose not to do damage as well. They also were next door, both the house in the woods as well as the house/property that Derek manages on the other side of our house. 

We have full-time security lighting, motion sensor lighting as well and of course Zeus who WAS barking but we didn't pay attention as he will bark when the coyotes and the wolf are around.  John says that since we were "what seemed to the intruders as "slim pickin's". they are not likely to return.  I don't think that our Niagara police are up to the CSI standards on TV *s*.
 
This weekend, Derek is away with friends, taking their 30 ft RV up to Picton to camp for 3-4 days. Dan & Amy just got home and he is struggling to "catch up" at work after being away for a week. Dan will come for Friday dinner to tell us all about their week and to show us all the photos  that he has organized into a slide show for us...he said they packed alot of living in that week in Vegas.
 
I just do not feel like doing a big Easter dinner weekend this year...ths afternoon, I have an appointment in the
Falls at 2 then I will go to Sobey's and buy a couple of rotisserie chickens and a lemon meringue or a coconut cream pie..favourites of JB and Dan. 

I find myself greatly fatigued regardless of how much sleep I get at night....I sense a bit of depression..I think a natural reaction to all that's been going on...won't be lasting too long.
 
I ran into an old lady talking rather loudly in Shopper's Drug Mart this afternoon..she was struggling to get some
12-can cases of sugar-free ice tea into her fabric shopping bag on wheels so I asked her if she needed some assistance.  She happily accepted my help, explaining that she only has 10% vision and so shopping is rather difficult for her..and told me how hard it is to find SUGAR FREE iced tea *s*...then off she toddled.
 
This Sunday will seem very quiet for me..the first Sunday that I stay home and just "hang".  I will get used to that. 

Today I found TWO mother cats in a blanket-filled box on the porch...and nine tiny baby kittens of assorted colours as well as two SIX week old kittens whose mother has abandoned them.  Both mothers are nursing all 11 kittens!  I have to say it looks rather funny to see nine itty bitty kittens in line with two large fluffies all purring, kneading and padding at two warm bellies. I must take some pictures!
 
Next week I have an interview with Amy Whitney for a YouTube tv show or something like that...an old friend, a psychic /Dr/author and much more...recommended me to the interviewer.

I took my artwork to a computer techie today and asked him to create a polished version of my business card (I have trouble getting my computer to place specific elements in specific places....it's a circular picture of a lightning storm in purples and pinks..over that colour are the words in white script "Fusing Consciousness with Spirit"...I want that circle logo in FOIL on a light pink card...both sides printed.  Should look rather stunning, I hope.  He promised it back in one week and the price was reasonable.  Then I will send that vector art to the print shop...hopefully that won't take very long either.

Well, off to bed.
