I'm so tired
Grandma died on Saturday morning and I'm just ..
We couldn't make funeral arrangements right away because we had to wait for one of my aunts to come back from vacation. She's a bit huffy because they were supposed to be coming back in a week or two.
Everyone bickered over the damn obituary. I think we should have toned down the weird overly religious stuff. One of my aunts got super grumpy over any suggested changes, including name order of the predeceased and adding the great grandchildren.
Deciding on the services and stuff went slightly better. The funeral director saw the budget and helped reign it in. Suggesting low cost options instead of up selling. He was nice and patient.
Got glared at when I asked for a copy of an informational sheet about what the death certificates are needed for. I need to get all the paperwork together and it makes sense for me to know this?
Aunt wants to "help" and invited herself over tomorrow. Don't like that. I work better alone. Handle the personal phonecalls if you wanna do something.
- fell asleep without posting it so now there's more
Made a bajillion phone calls my aunts said they were going to make last night. Got a call from them this afternoon. Convinced them they didn't need to come over (they sounded huffy about that and told me everyone will be coming here after the burial Friday to "fill out thank you cards" ....they didn't order any last night from the funeral home?)
Called a lawyer to find the last known signed will. The assistant wasn't in, so they'll look tomorrow. I still don't know where the damned envelope went.
Called the credit union to make sure I'd still have access to the bank accounts (I'm joint owner)
I have full access BUT I was only an "authorized user" on the credit card so they're closing it. Oof. Gotta go back to writing checks 😔
I think I'm going to try taking a nap and then wash dishes. Haven't done them in a few days now. 🫠
