Interesting weather today. Big surf. Big surf on our island isn’t huge more like 8 to 12 footers. And the wind was howling around – so it wasn’t good for surfing. 95 mph winds predicted for our “higher elevations”. Also snow. We’ll see if that happens. I didn’t really go swimming today. I bounced around in the ocean. Sort of like being in a washing machine. It was fun.
Today, I processed my big pile of paperwork that I got on Saturday afternoon. Some stuff needed attention. Everything has been taken care of – except for the thank-you notes. I’ll do them tonight.
Starting to feel more settled. Since I had 22 months of grieving before Carlton died – I think it is time for me to be more settled. This will be a dangerous time for me. Because I will want to “get things done”. Things that don’t need doing yet or at all.
I am also starting to feel better about moving to an old folks asylum. The plus side of moving to the one that Carlton and I picked out is I am really sure of it’s quality and financial stability. I am sure there are fine asylums in other cities – but – I wouldn’t have the same warm fuzzy feeling that they would “take care of me” when I can no longer take care of me. I am “too young” to move to an old folks asylum. But, I am also energetic enough to do the move. Also, these places require a big chunk of non refundable entrance fee money. Moving in sooner means I get more for my money. And, frankly the monthly fees are no more than I am paying for rent. The only thing I’ll be giving up is my killer view and great location. My lease ends in April 2016.
