94. Luckily I enrolled in legal insurance last year
Fri May 13, 2022, 03:36 PM
May 2022

It must have been instinct as I've had this available to me for 25 years now but never took it as I am a state retiree. I guess COVID made me do it, I don't know. I have excellent benefits but my pension is $100 a month, that's it.

I have an appt. to see an attorney that specializes in estates and matters like what I've been up against at the end of May.

Seems my tracks are well covered as there is no estate as it now stands.

As for the undesirable relatives, they won't be getting a thing.

Their behavior is unacceptable.

I knew this already anyway as my mother and father's death told me all I needed to know about these "loving" relatives. ha.

Fortunately, I pre-arranged cremations years ago as well so that expensive is not an added worry.

I must have been thinking right at some point but right now, I am pretty out of it.

I still have my cats.

They give me something to live for that I know loves me.

I am very sorry for your loss. brer cat May 2022 #1
