in other news….

 i can’t believe it hasn’t even been a month since my mom’s been gone. that truly amazes me. i got her death certificates in the mail this weekend, which was jarring.

the weekend was insular and full of sloth. i did see my girl on sunday, first time since before my mom got sick. it was good to see her.

i didn’t do laundry, i didn’t do much of anything. i think sometimes you need that….i have done more than my share of that since mom died =) i know we need to start going through her stuff, and this will ultimately make my life more orderly, but i just haven’t been able to manufacture the energy for it yet. i think i will ask my sister if we can start doing one small thing at a time. even if it’s just one drawer of one dresser at a time, one shelf, one box in her closet….the sooner we have her stuff gone through, the sooner we can move my sis in there, the sooner i can move daughter up there and the sooner we can turn daughter’s current room into a massive closet for d and my stuff. i want all storage devices and stuff out of our room. the only thing that will be kept in our closet will be robes, tv’s stuff like that. the basement will become our lair =) i like that thought. it isn’t like anyone in the house gets up early enough to cause us much trouble getting to the laundry facilities =) these are the initial plans for the getting on with things.

there is more that we need to do. we need to pull up the floor and subfloor in my mom’s bathroom and redo the flooring. there’s a section of the drywall near her shower that needs to be patched and repaired, and her bathroom needs a serious and severe updating and cleaning. i am trying to decide how i want to do that. might get new carpet for sis, but maybe not. we will see with that….it’s going to be expensive and i think that bri’s room needs it more than my mom’s. but the flooring in the bathroom, definately. now it’s just finding the motivation to do all this…..

happy monday, everyone.

bleh.

peace.
