I've gotten through most of Auntie Em's "stuff". I went out to an office supply store & bought a shredder & I think I've got it just about worn out. I have GIANT lawn leaf size Hefty bags stuffed with shredded paper. She had boxes of meaningless old records that should have been cleaned out years ago. I found 10 certified copies of her birth certificate and three passports. I also found similar stuff for my uncle & he has been gone thirty years. I am so grateful I've had an investment firm and good attorneys looking after her affairs for the past few years. I also found the deeds to the Post Offices she owns & have leased to the government. The attorneys have been looking for those. I think with what I have found and what the attorneys already have, we'll be in good shape to get her affairs wrapped up fairly quickly.
I've got the four paintings she insisted I have, all crated to ship them home. They're actually pretty good but aren't exactly my taste. She loved them though so home they go. They all are by the same painter so maybe it was somebody she knew. I'll have to research it. When I leave to go home, I want everything complete so all I have on the 16th is to supervise the movers and Salvation Army pickup. Then, the final thing to get done is get a crew in for a final cleanup so we can get the Condo on the market. I'm sure glad the real estate market has started to make a comeback. I would hate to just "give" this place away! Being here at the care center, they will broker the sale for me so that's one less thing I have to worry about. Surprisingly, they don't have ANY vacancies so it could go fairly quickly.
Did I fail to mention that I'm EXHAUSTED!? I need dinner & a couple of somethings with (or without) an umbrella! A couple more hours tomorrow & we're good!

Monday, Monday! Here we go again. If we don't let the little crap wear us down, the big things become much easier to handle. Have a great Monday!
AAHHHHH Another Monday at the zoo
I keep hoping the village idiots went home for a visit and forgot the way back. I'm sure I won't be that lucky.
Have a great day
♫♪♫ The Hamsters turn on frequently... at the zoo-ooo!♫♪♫
Hamsters I can deal with. It's the monkeys I have trouble with.

Wow! That sounds like more work than I did today, and I'm worn out.
