For weeks and weeks, I have put off fulfilling a request of Patsy’s Power of Attorney. He wants me to come up with a monthly budget that includes all of her expenses. Honestly, I am just now getting a handle on what all of the costs are. But try as I may, I did not get it done. I did get the spreadsheets done for expenditures in the past couple of months, so hopefully in the next day or so, I will get this job that has been hanging over my head DONE.
I went over to check in with the Goldstones in the early afternoon. Sam was working on getting Otis (his car) put back together and Heather was getting ready to drive him back to Vermont. I think Otis actually got driven out of the garage before they left. It still needs to have a cracked windshield replaced and needs to be checked out by a reliable mechanic to make sure it is safe to drive and ready for inspection. Hopefully by next weekend, it will be ready for prime time. In the meantime, Sam will continue to drive the family’s second car, but not until it gets to a garage tomorrow to see what is wrong with it.
I was invited to have dinner with a friend from by Book Club, Dena. She and her husband live in Cambridge part of the time and here part of the time. She was here tonight and we had a nice evening together talking about everything.
Jed, Ollie, and I plan to drive to Lowell tomorrow after school to go to Jonah’s soccer game. Heather will drive down from Stowe and meet us there. Hopefully, she will have the car situation sorted out by then. But that is a story to be continued.
