First, the photo. Not real thrilled with it - just a silhouetted tree against the sky (and free product placement for the bank next to the tree, go figure). But a photo...I tried.
Second, a funny. Talk about a badly-designed system! No, no, you can't have twins, sir!
Finally, the whining.
I got behind on paperwork for the estate. Nothing's overdue, I just let it stack up. So tonight I get to two pieces and discover they both need calls/visits to other businesses. (Both to get questions answered - one can be done by phone, the other, I suspect cannot - I think she'll need to see the forms.) Which, you know, keep business hours. But I'm working. Arrrgh. So I'm going to see if I can get a half-day tomorrow, I guess. If I had gotten to these last night I could have asked today and given more warning. I feel guilty, because I didn't.
I also need to pay the bills for out there. That I can do, although I think some of them are going to generate yet more phone calls (I got what I believe are more bills for the insurance premiums for the health insurance that ended when I called the benefits center a while back...this is not making me happy...they are bills for January coverage. Argh!).
And I need to call a realtor to get a quick market value assessment on the house, which will give me a good idea whether to go with the tax assessed value or use theirs or get an actual appraisal. We'll see. But for that I also need to be out there. Argh.
This weekend I need to spend most of my time out there, I think - because next weekend I have a fairly narrow window since I am on call for work and a coworker is covering me for several hours one day. I am trying not to inconvenience them too much but I have to inconvenience someone somewhat or I'm going to go off like a badly-made steam kettle - bits shooting in various directions, not just the whistle from the boiling. (I wish I thought I'd find the old copper teakettle out there. I think it finally died. I remember listening to it shrill as a child.)
I went back to work soon after, even though they would have let me take longer, because there was nothing to do but stew (I didn't have the paperwork yet to do anything). But now I'm enmeshed in work issues again, even though now I do need the time, so it doesn't feel like I can get it. I probably can, and am just being irrational. I need to talk to my boss and see if I can get some time to deal with that, or adjust to work one weekend day (although an extra day would be ideal) or SOMETHING.
But right now I need to pay the bills. And make notes for phone calls. Sigh.
