Ugh, ND. I feel you. I recommend you apply brown spirits if the shit starts to get oppressive.

I couldn't go to Tai Chi today but I should be able to get in a bonus class on Sunday. Also so happy to see so many folks starting up Tai Chi. Makes it feel more fun that we're doing it together.

I was hopeful that I would be able to wait at least a few days before I called mom's financial advisor to find out what's the process on things, but I guess that's tomorrow, and then I suppose it's time to hire a lawyer.
I'm sorry about your mom, ND. I'm also sorry that this is happening, since my family has squabbled over estates and I know how fraught it can be. I do think a lawyer is a good idea, especially if you are an executor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, ND. Good luck with that.
I've got to got my shit together, work-wise and probably otherwise as well. I'm just not being effective at work, and certainly not doing much outside of work. Maybe I should take a stand-up class!

Does anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive place to get glasses online? I lost my glasses last week, and my eye doctor is going to be closed until the end of March because a pipe burst. I was able to get a copy of my prescription, but I can't get the glasses made there. I have sunglasses for daytime driving, but I really should have a pair of regular glasses. I don't want to spend a lot on them because my prescription will probably change when I get my eyes checked sometime in April.

Zenni is the cheapest, I think. I've also gotten glasses from Coastal Contacts. And Warby Parker, cheaper than a glasses store but not exactly cheap.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I do think a lawyer is a good idea, especially if you are an executor.
I second this, and if my sister were here she'd third it. Settling my mom's estate was a real headache with her stepdaughters circling like vultures. (They got nuthin'.)
sj, I've gotten glasses from both Zenni and Coastal and I've been happy with them. Zenni is probably cheaper, but Coastal might be better if you have a really strong prescription (+8 or more).
I need about seven more hours in this day.

Thanks, I look into Zenni; my prescription isn't that strong.

I've used Zenni for a few years for my bifocals and I've been very happy with my glasses. I think I'm on my third pair from them. And, even with the complicated prescription, the glasses are affordable enough I'm thinking of getting another pair just so I can change up my look.
