DH and I were both wiped out yesterday, but we needed to go grocery shopping and supposedly today the HVAC and gutter guy were coming, so he wanted to be here. We went to the city at 4:30 yesterday afternoon and got back home by 6:30. Stopped and got Wendy's on the way home, so at least I didn't have to make dinner.
And of course, neither hvac or gutter people came today. LOL. Our neighbors have a little grove of trees they planted last summer and had put straw down over the winter to keep them insulated, but were raking up all the straw to burn it. DH offered to take it from them and he's spreading it out along the back of our shop- so there will be less mud when the mason guy comes back to start putting on the stone. Then we can burn it when we are done with it. Worked out good for all. Neighbor just loaded it in the back of his little work pickup truck and brought it over and DH is just unloading it into our wheel barrow.
Well, much to everyone's surprise the sibling not in the will actually signed the paperwork needed yesterday. I'm not really sure what is going on beyond that. I'm not really sure I understand the why of it...but apparently if they don't get everyone's signatures, the house closing would have to wait until the will is probated. This way the house can close and the will doesn't even have to go through probate, unless the one sibling not in the will protested it. But, from what I read, protesting a will is very costly and takes lots of time and you can't protest a will just because you feel left out, which would be her only reason. The only way to win contesting a will is to prove it's not a legal, legit will. His was drawn up by an attorney, all legal and witnessed, sound mind, and all that. It doesn't sound like they will have to deal with that.
DH crashed for a good hour nap after we got home last night. I watched a movie (An Interview with God) on Netflix and went to bed early. For some reason my older dog (who sleeps on the bed with us) keeps getting up at 7:15 (my usual time), even if I'm not up. Usually he will just stay in bed until someone gets up, even it's it's 8am or later. He's interrupting my sleep in!
This afternoon all of us (DH and dogs) took a good 2 hour nap. Sometimes I feel like we are never going to feel rested again. Hopefully, soon.
I'm glad the sibling didn't give the family any trouble over the needed signature. Given all the stress you've both been under with the house build and the death of two parents, it's no wonder you feel tired. Once the house is completely finished, I hope you can take some extra time off just to enjoy and relax.
ReplyDeleteI hope we can too - soon! We were chatting with our neighbor today and he asked DH what are you going to do (with all your free time) when it's all done?! I said we are going to sleep awhile, LOL.
DeleteGrief is exhausting. Good for you both taking cues and sleeping when you can.
ReplyDeleteit sure is, especially when we were both already exhausted.
