update on the To Do List That Ate My Brain

Done:
  • Cremation complete. Urn has been placed in the Columbarium at Evergreen-Washelli.
  • Death notice submitted to the Times & P-I.
  • Ceremony organized.
  • Text of program set.
  • Music selected for the service and for "bumper" (before/after the service).
  • CD made & labeled.
  • Sent Aunt D the text of her reading to practice with.
  • Gave Jan a copy of the ceremony to practice with (she still has to write the eulogy, but that's hers to do).
  • Asked about previewing the movie; probably can on Friday.
  • Sent a gift basket to the staff of the nursing home with a thank-you card.
Still to do:
  • Actually print the programs. Kinko's here I come...
  • Buy guestbook.
  • Get a black half-slip. (New rayon skirt, tulips on a black background - I don't want to risk anything showing through)
  • Warn Marie Callendar's that we may get there earlier than we thought.
  • Made plans for lunch tomorrow
  • ???
I'm sure it will come to me. :) But writing this out has been a bit relaxing all on its own. Yay relaxing. I hope I will feel less freaked soon. This tired-but-frentic feeling is getting on my nerves.

I've also been taking time to be with people I care about. The "worker" part of my brain tweaks a bit at me being social when I'm less productive in getting work done. Normally, if I'm slowed down the way I have been, I'm sick or overworked, and need to more rest. But now isn't normal. Rest is good but so is being with people who care. Relaxing with people I trust is rather restful right now, actually...

Ok, going to light some candles and take a bath now. Night...
