Oogiem Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I have spent one hell of a day. Sorting books form my mother's estate. She died 12 years ago, I've only just now had the emotional energy to tackle her stuff.It really sucks!Now for some wine, scotch and an aspirin or 2. Back hurts from picking up boxes. Heart hurts from loss. Mind hurts from decisions and second guessing.Just needed to vent.

Alethea Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 That's rough, Oogie. Possibly I'm a bit late, but I'm sorry for your loss. Take extra care of yourself tonight. May I suggest a long bath, a stiff drink and a good book? Quote "Let another say. 'Perhaps the worst will not happen.' You yourself must say. 'Well, what if it does happen? Let us see who wins!'

Oogiem Posted January 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Thanks, waited for the long hot shower until today, why waste water when I'd just get dusty & filthy again today. But we got through 6 pickup loads of stuff in 2 days of hard work, about 35 boxes of books and about 10 of mostly kitchen stuff. The stiff drink was a hit and I knitted some, almost as good as reading but I'd been seeing books all day so really wanted to play with strings instead ;-) I'm taking 2 days off and then we'll tackle some more on Wed & Thur.
