Field Notes- Thursday, November 2nd. Sunshine but very cold here in Maine. Water in the Birdbath is frozen.


 This happens all the time here......Squirrels v the Birdfeeders.

Well, I had to look at the calendar and count off and it's only been THREE DAYS and yet, it feels like a LIFETIME AGO.  Time Moving and Time Stopping.   I had to call as I will be needing more Certificates of Death for all the accounts I have to notify etc.

I also forgot to turn the heat up....it's very cold in the house right now. but the heat is retuning as I type.

I took a long hot shower this morning- mostly to contain my hair- it had gotten pretty wild.  Been awhile since I got a haircut also.  But Patty liked it better longer and not so short.....usually my Summer cut is very short...so I can duck under the faucet in the kitchen sink and rinse off.....

Son cooked Tater Tots in my new tiny Air Fryer.  They were very very nice.  Crispy. We had them with some locally made Pulled Pork.  I added Ranch Dressing to my plate.

I still have books to read.....and even though I just got up- I feel like a nap would be a good thing.... and I do have checks to write for bills....there is stuff to do.....eventually.  Life is sort of in slow motion right now....giving me a chance to rest and then, when I am ready, catch up.

It all seems like a dream....like I will wake up and it hasn't happened.

Words of wisdom accorning to me - get twice as many Certificates of Death as you think you will need.
Hugging you.

When our son was born, the midwife told us to get 15 birth certificates - that was the maximum amount you could get free of charge at the time. To my surprise, over the years, we used them all, and giggled every time when I thought about the DM 10,- I would normally have had to pay per certificate. So Life Scraps and Patches advice seems very wise, get twice as many Certificates as you think you will need!!! Big hug and all our love.

yes, the death certificate sage. I should have listened when they said "get 10". I decided 5 would be enough and was not! Everyone wants one. I am so sorry you are having to go through this!

I will now have 20. We started counting and passed 10 and I got on the phone and asked for MORE. so very Oliver Twist.
