well halloween is over and now the countdown to xmas starts.  not much going on these days. my life is quiet.......for now i guess. took the kid up to the college to write a mature student test. he is trying to go back to school. most of his stuff is back home now too. i think he is finally trying to get his life together somehow. am glad to see that.
 
i went out to the store where i had my cards and picked them up on friday. the lady who has the store is going to close it in feb as the landlord now wants a 3 yr lease. cant say as i blame her for closing the store. now i need to find a new venue for my cards. i cant keep making them and not doing anything with them. seems pointless.
 
i saw my secret crush last week . i made my feelings known to him and he so much as said that only thing we will be is friends. so thats fine . nothing i can do to change that.  been hard to scale my feelings back, but i have too. 
 
i got a package from my mothers lawyer. seems the estate is not yet completly closed yet. my brother and my sister want me to sign off so they can get paid there executer fees. i am thinking .......and no i wont sign off on it. my youngest brother got a fee for selling the farm. my sister and my middle brother will get fees. am thinking those fees should be split 3 ways and not 2. to cover my time and expenses for helping to look after mom and the fact i had to stay at my inlaws. eveyone said their house is too small for me to stay in. its like yeh what ever. now its my turn to make my demands known. they got 99.9% of what was in that house. and to top it off they didnt want my mothers sister or mother to have anything from the house..........that still assounds me to no end.

    good for you kate, dig those heels in a grind those sibs of yours to a halt. let the lawyer know how you feel too, put it on paper,like my boss keeps saying, if it isnt on paper, it doesnt exist. What I had to do when it came to my house(was my parents)and I did all the caregiving, everything etc...at the advice of someone I trusted, I itemized everything from grocery shopping to cleaning to companionship, laundry...everything and assigned a fairmarket wage to it, plus the fact you were virtually "on call" 24/7. and billed it to the estate. In fact, my aunt wanted her ish(for memories) and right in the funeral home I asked her where was she when she was alive, she lived in the same damn town! All she could do was look at the ground. Time for creative billing so to speak, charge for everything, and I do mean everything, anything you can think of that someone wouldve had to be paid to do. Bill it, and submit it to the estate and watch them bitch, make them swallow the truth and if they chose to take it to court so be it...
    I am glad that you have cleared the air with your secret crush....you probably mean more to hm than you know. I had(have) a secret crush at work, have had one for over 20 yrs, but I would rather have his friendship,...cross that line and its never the same ya know. enjoy the coffee,(teas) and conversation and sharing memories, present and yet to come and just enjoy what you are building o.k?
