Since my dad’s passing, I’ve often found myself thinking, “it was x amount of days since this or that happened.”  Life does continue, and we have to do so the best that we can.

My “job” of overseeing my father’s healthcare and final arrangements is now over, so that is one less thing on my plate.  My brother will finish taking care of the financial end of things.  Since the main focus of this blog is financial, yes, there is an inheritance.

The money will be coming to us from a few sources. The main one I knew about, plus there are at least two others.  Last week was simply not the time to discuss all the nitty-gritty details of our father’s will and trust, but we did touch on a few things.   As with any estate, it will take time to settle.

Hubs is now on his way back to the East Coast for work.  With the craziness of the Coronavirus, he chose to rent a car rather than fly home.  His job generously gave him three days of bereavement pay, plus he gets his travel days paid as well.  It is worrisome having him head to this hot spot. I did my best to load him up with a lot of provisions that he couldn’t have otherwise taken had he flown.

As for me, well, I’m thankfully stuck at home.  Since I had been in an area where there are numerous Coronavirus cases (and deaths), the kiddos family understandably wants me to self-isolate for 14 days.  Honestly, had they not made that request, I would have suggested doing so.  This virus is nothing to be messed with, and we all need to do our part to stop the spread and flatten the curve.

To end on a positive note, we got our taxes back from our CPA and we don’t’ owe!  🙂
