This is the football stadium parking lot just after noon today. No asphalt showing at all.

I'm being generous with my use of toilet paper since I found the hidden stash. Oh the luxury!

The bed has clean fresh linens on it. The shower even got a curtain change. All the laundry is washed and dried and put away.

Last night I was woken up by pain in my shoulder and my hip. I've had it before - in my legs and upper arms. I'm pretty sure it's clot action. I got up and took some aspirin and then lay there and tried on various what if I died in the night plans.

I try to stay death ready. Assuming I go first (I'm older and out of shape and have COPD and maybe blood clots - so not unreasonable assumption), my brother is going to have to step in and do whatever. Mainly, of course, take care of Biggie. He's very nearly an anti-cat person but he's very pro animal and he'll step up.

(By the way, the cat food currently on the counter is his least fav. He has to have some of it every day until it's gone. I try to mix it with his fav. Plenty of fav in the cabinet next to the half bath.)

Then it's onto my bank accounts, online accounts and subscriptions. He has ready access to all the passwords he will need. And all this stuff I have.

So when I went to sleep trying to come up with a solid divestiture plan - and failed. I think I'm at the point where I have the right amount of stuff for my space. None of it needs to live beyond me. I don't have fine art or fine jewelry. So he can just call 1800junk and point.

And speaking of junk, the Goodwill store is closed today anyway.

Oh just saw the 2 day snow total for this neighborhood - 5 inches. More to come on Thursday. Hopefully I can get out and stock up before then.

Cat food on count = least fav
Cat food in cabinet next to half bath to mix in

Got it. THIS is the important stuff.

That is more snow than we got, how crazy! We have 2.1 inches so far this storm and that closed our little airport last night. ... I think as I get older that it is healthy to think along the 'what if' thought process. We have things in fairly good order.

Yikes. I mean, it's good to have a plan, but... yikes. What makes you think the pain is clot related?

I've created a book titled, "When I'm Gone" for my brother Jeff. I want my death to inconvenience my family as little as possible. Like Bill and you, I live a great distance from my brother. The book has all the information Jeff needs to address insurance, accounts, etc and notify a specific group of friends.
