In thirty minutes, I have to phone in to a videoconference
with my mother's attorney, my attorney, and the bank.
I'm not looking forward to this one.
The last time I went through something like this,
the settlement of the estate of a recently deceased person,
was forty years ago, and that was the stuff of nightmares.

I just hope this occasion will be more positive and constructive
than that last one forty years before this.
But back then, when I was young, I didn't have my own attorney,
and I have one now, and this is her specialty,
so I ought to be all right this time.
I'm still emotional, of course, about losing my mother.

So I'll eventually report back on how it goes,
I may need time to compose myself afterwards.
