Wednesday, April 8, 2020 – Another Day, More Stuff Done!

Hi Babe,
Had another good night sleep, thank goodness, Miss Lola seems to be settling down nicely. I’ve just realized, though, that we haven’t had any storms of note since I started letting her sleep in the trailer rather than the truck, and tonight storms are forecast, so we’ll see how THAT goes! Meanwhile, I continue to pace myself with the work that needs doing. I’m trying not to kill myself or get too anxious about doing all the work at once, and you know how hard that is for me! I managed to get the Cub Cadet going okay today, so I was able to put it back together. It seems the belt might be a little stretched, but it’s hard to tell, and it was working just fine. I searched for our marriage license because I need it to try to claim some kind of bereavement benefit from the British Pension Service, not sure if I qualify but I thought I’d give it a try. I find it hard to believe they don’t have some kind of widows benefit when a spouse dies, but that’s what they tried to tell me a few months ago. Anyway, I had to order a certified copy from Palm Beach County, but I didn’t want to wait so I sent the paperwork on ahead anyway. I spent some time making a list of everything that’s left and posting it on Marketplace, I’ve already gotten a couple of replies so maybe I can sell some stuff this weekend, wouldn’t that be nice! A quick trip to the Post Office to send out and pick up the mail (all junk) and then I settled down early, actually nodding off at one point this afternoon, which is so very nice! I finished watching the Titanic series, the last few episodes of which were pretty boring and came to a rather sudden end, which probably explains why they didn’t get a second season, if one had been planned. Anyway, I’m going to pull in the awning and put away the furniture before I shower and go to bed since this storm is coming in later tonight, so I’ll sign off. Good night, my love!
