Good morning FS Friends
Another hot day on the Mighty Niagara River. Continue to putter around gathering Johns things, dealing with weeds. Attention span is short so flit from task to task.
What I've noticed is that the younger generation, specifically John's sons, suck at communication. The memorial is fast approaching and yet details have yet to be firmed up. Sent out an email to them this morning regarding all aspects of what will need to be attended to. Having walked this path more than once before, the magic just doesn't happen by winging it. Maybe I'm old. Maybe it is my past life as a project manager/task list person that drives the need for planning. Don't know. Just know that this loosey goosey approach doesn't work.
Cost associated with all of this is becoming burdensome too. To add insult to injury, my normal monthly income didn't land in my bank account as it should this morning. My financial planner is on vacation so unreachable. His backup wants to have a call this afternoon...Aaargh. What the heck for?
This regularly scheduled payment has been in play for almost a decade. Nothing new. That they migrated to a new back office technology system isn't my issue.
Guess at the root of it, I'm mad at John and his family. That none of these costs were covered or will be covered. Not like I'm a recipient of any part of the estate, his sons are as he died intestate. And yet morally, for me it is the right thing to do. That these things be taken care of properly and on a timely basis. The upside, after all this is said and done, a significant expense in my life the last 19 years has been John so at the end of the day I'll have a bit more to invest in me and self care (which I totally suck at).
So I suppose today could be labelled one of "mad" ones. One of the stressful ones.
Must get out of victim mentality and decide whether to insist that the memorial costs be covered by them. Already covered the body removal/cremation costs myself.
I am my own worst enemy. Change is coming. Am doing it on the weight loss front...need to start on the being too helpful front as it has not served me well.
