Monday, Jan. 22nd: {Note: I did not edit this/write until May 2024 - so may be missing some details...}
Monday morning breakfast as usual coffee and I worked for about an hour then Terri and I went to Larry‘s house to meet our 904 junk removal guys of Zach and Jason. They arrived about 8:35 and got right to work. They removed the couches, the bed mattresses, the window air conditioners, the pool table, ping-pong tabletop, chairs, everything out on the porch, two toilets from the trailer, filing cabinets, lots of stuff they removed and filled their trailer so that worked out really well. Jason, the helper loves books and genealogy so I gave him all the microfiche reels rolls that Charlotte had and he took lots of books as he says he has a book collection so we were able to get rid of some other things too that we did not want.
Terri and I just had cheese and crackers some yogurt for lunch. We continued picking up different areas. Terri finished cleaning out all the clothes in the master bedroom and has many large bags full of clothes ready to be taken to Goodwill.
I completed the paperwork needed by the lawyer tomorrow, Tuesday. We are going to go to Green Cove Springs and drop off the information for the probate and which I had to list all of Larry‘s assets at the time of his death. We are going to take Terri to Sweet Sensations for lunch tomorrow. Terri and I worked until about 2 PM at the house and wipe down some of the remaining tables freshened up the area of the room where the pool table was so we can sort things get it more organized there. We are going to use the living room as kind of a staging area so a plan is to remove everything out of each bedroom bring it out to living room sorted into baskets for Goodwill or trash or whatever needs to be done moving forward. we came home visited with Alyzabeth. We got some mail, thank you notes from mom and Auntie Jean, new Down East magazine. I worked for another hour and a half then made my homemade corny corn muffins along with Ford chili he made in the crockpot and we had dinner.
Tuesday: Tuesday morning usual breakfast I worked after Alyzabeth went to school and then took Ford to his physical therapy appointment at the new location on Kingsley Avenue. He said the Physical Therapy wore him out plus in combination with his new muscle relaxant pill that makes him sleepy. He was sleepy most of the day. We got underway to Green Cove Springs while Ford stay at home. Terri and I took all of Larry’s in Charlotte’s prescription drugs to the Green Cove Springs police office, found out there is a dropbox there in the lobby to the left. We then went to Darren’s auto body restoration shop and got a quote to fix the dent on Larry’s green Subaru Forrester so that was done and will be able to have it fixed probably in 3 to 4 weeks. I called in a lunch order from Sweet Sensations and plus a pound of their outlaw chicken salad to have at the house and to take as an appetizer to the River House this afternoon. After lunch, I laid down for a little, watching some TV and rested. Don’t know why I’m so tired. Then Terri and I then went to Larry’s house and took out 22 bags of trash. Ford came with us and looked around at our progress. After being back home and visiting with Alyzabeth she of course started in on homework and the three of us went to the River House, visited with Hugh Maureen and Kathy. The day was a lot warmer reached in the high 60s so very nice even though it was sprinkling rain in the morning, and I was not able to walk during Ford’s physical therapy appointment. The River House was the noisy place. It usually is and we could barely hear each other but we talked about new movies and Erin‘s visit and how to cook salmon. I gave Hugh and Kathy each a few chicken salad sandwiches that I made in croissants for them to take home. Once we got home, we warmed up the leftover chili and cornbread. Of course we were kind of full, didn’t eat much. We’re watching Finding Your Roots, a new episode, has Sammy Hagar in it. Terri talked to mom as she does every evening and I told her all about all the trash and everything we put out at Larry‘s house.
Wednesday: Alyzabeth got off to school on time as usual and I worked for about two hours. Terri and I headed over to Larry’s to continue cleaning and plan to put in a full day. I was kind of off had a slight headache just dragging quite a bit. Terri did a lot of work managing to clean out most of the master bedroom, also the hall closet and packing up many things for Goodwill. I got a text from Larry Pinkstaff yesterday and called him back today. He wanted to let me know about a job at JEA working through Keville engineers to manage a transmission project. I told him that I was not planning to work in the field ever again, thanked him very much for thinking of me.
Finally, today was very nice weather in the 70s and we were able to open several windows in Larry‘s home to keep a nice breeze through the house. Terri also boxed up many books. We plan to contact the 904 Removal guys who was so in love with books he said he would take more.
For dinner Terri and I stopped at Publix. I picked up everything needed for Panzanella and it was delicious. I just have to remember that to roast garlic. Whole cloves of garlic needs 30 to 40 minutes before I start the dinner. Alyzabeth ate the mostly rock-hard garlic and I feel bad that I didn’t remember to roast it a lot longer.
Thursday: Another busy morning with Alyzabeth and me working for a short time. I took Ford to his physical therapy appointment and dropped Terri off at Larry‘s house. Terri worked most of the day taking care of books and packing up odd stuff after Ford physical therapy. I took him home and went to Bank of America to open Larry‘s estate account so I can be administrator and disperse funds as needed. After finishing up at the bank which I still need to go back once the account is open, I went to Larry’s and worked with Terri for quite a bit and we had a little light lunch of outlaw chicken salad at Larry’s house. Chris Brown stopped by mow the yard. I paid him $80 and we chatted for a bit, gave him some photos, a few souvenirs and he actually took some light green depression glass in the sandwich pattern a bowl some cups and four saucers, so I was happy that he found something he liked. We also found pictures of the Sheldon Road home when it was first built and how nice it looked before it was stained. We got home after shopping at Publix and gassing up the green Subaru, Ford grilled hamburgers on the grill for us and they were very tasty. Ford laid down as his stomach was a little upset and slept for 2 1/2 hours which he obviously needed to catch up on his sleep. He is still taking the new muscle relaxant at night, which is supposed to help him sleep. He took one full pill tonight as half a pill didn’t seem to be working. Took Ginger out for a walk and then it’s to bed. Alyzabeth was doing homework and we’re happy that tomorrow is Friday.
