Things on the Staycation To-Do List
I called Sparky in full-panic, bring-the-tears mode this morning. His very sensible advice: make a list of EVERYTHING that needs doing (my reply, "but that's going to be a Very Long List" and he said to do it anyway. He's a smart kid.) Once I pulled myself together and he knew I wasn't going to jump off a roof (mostly just kidding--seems painful), we hung up and I got started. The list is one full side of lined notebook paper. I fully expect it to grow* before it shrinks measurably. Some of the things that I bet aren't on most people's late winter list are below.

1. Make appointment with attorney to meet with Sparky and me about my will and PoA stuff.
2. Fix banister Beast broke when he fell in September.
3. Cancel SiriusXM.
4. Call and order CPAP supplies for myself.
5. Figure out how to submit paperwork to County electronically (find said pwk, too).
6. Fix light switch in laundry room (there's a short whenever I turn it on).
7. Empty Beast's closet in our bedroom and organize All The Stuff.
8. Fix mailbox.
9. Shred Beast's credit cards.
10. Re-do cell phone plan (remove Beast's bro, decide about keeping Beast's number, get Sparky a new functional iPhone--I hate iPhones, btw--and get the account information updated).
11. Get rid of extra car in garage that hasn't been driven since before I did this meme the last time.  smh
12. Call social work person at Beast's facility with questions about Medicaid form.
13. FIND BEAST'S BLOODY WEDDING RING AND CROSS/CHAIN! (I had them at the hospital in September--haven't seen them since and have searched high and low around the house since)

* In fact, while I was typing this up, I filled up the top page and moved on to Page 2. Thirty-one total items. Some of them are 10-minute easy-peasy things. Some of them are potentially weeks-long projects. It feels like there are more of the latter than the former.
