Realizing more and more how much paperwork Jim had to do - on top of all his medical reports and insurance forms - especially the Medicare claims. No wonder he was fed up with all of that. It was endless.
Now I have to do all the paper work - which is ridiculous - putting an "essence" person to take care of matters that require attention to detail.
This week a Montgomery County computer sent me a form about Jim's will that really gave me heart-burn and then turned out to be an automated sending. Nothing out of order with my files at all. I will not be called in. Let me tell you it is the unexpected things like this one that give me a fit.
I feel like everything in my world is already tipsy so adding another tipping factor feels much more important than it actually is.
I am hoping that with time this work will feel more manageable.
And while I am hoping for change lets add the amount of mail that drops through our front door. Since I seem to look like a prospect these days, I receive mailings from bereavement groups, reverse mortage offers, and other various services a new widow might need. Sorry they are wasting their paper and postage.
I am tough on trolling mail - toss it right out. Jim was much easier on them - he actually read some. Not me. Comes from what I learned when I was managing a direct mail fundraising effort for a large non-for-profit. That experience made me heart-hearted about uninvited mail - even though I often have to turn to it myself to promote storytelling programs. Just saying.
