  Realtor learned we can by pass probate by using the Title company. A copy of my power of attorney, death certificate, Wil's renunciation, her Will and their form filled in and signed by pastor and his wife. I chose them instead of neighbors but it was kinda strange as they knew Carissa but they knew nothing about her first 2 husbands aka Rat 1 and Rat 2. I know that makes no sense to you but she had drawn up goal information in 2017 and that is how they were listed.  The standard form was not great in her case as there is no family member to sign that is not an heir.

  I had to ask her best friend the last name of Rat 2 as my mind just could not remember it. There was no sense looking for a photo with him in it as I cut him out of every photo I had.  Guess I took that as hard as she did.  Just did a google search, title company should have no problem, for me I would have to pay.

  I should be doing housework but since my back has settled down some I don't want to stir it up. By 6:30 a.m. today I had the crock pot going for lunch. When I served up Wil's plate I had to take carrots out. I have no idea how it tasted and didn't bother to ask. He left a little smidgen of potato on his plate as he didn't know what it was even though I told him.  So now it is put dinner in the frig and wash dishes.

  This morning I found tiny and I mean tiny ants in the cat bowls. The other day I found them on a piece of food I laid for Mr. Grey on the windowsill and he didn't eat it. Years and years ago we had an exterminator for sugar ants which were very small as I recall.  I should look for outside spray and go around the house. Again not today.  I leave the cats dry food at night. I suppose if I don't they will wake me up for some or fuss when I'm up to the bathroom.

  T mobile has finally closed her account. Tina hasn't called me but I know she took Carissa's sim card out and put her own in the phone. That means she is using what was a leased phone without paying a thing.  Since it wasn't a phone I could sell she won't be paying me for it I suppose. I got one free floor clean out of her for the furniture she took.  Nothing yet for the electronics.

  I've gone back to coloring again, when Sparkle is napping any way.

  Oh the insurance company paid for the car but I won't get a title until after probate. I looked up the blue book on it. 2018 Chrysler 300 4 d with 1085 miles and was about floored. Doesn't help me figure out what to ask for it as there are some low scratches on the bumper. Story I had heard was someone hit her in a parking lot and I doubt that very seriously from the looks of the scrapes.

  I talked with the Worship Minister yesterday and ask him to consider being a beneficiary if I die first. That afternoon I got a call from the VA social worker and he said they have teams to handle such if that happens. Wil can't live alone if I'm gone and round the clock care here would be prohibitive. So I let him know just as I told him the pastors wife can get into our safe deposit box for a Will. I hope he agrees after much prayer I suppose. I told him if I am the last to go the church gets everything.   So he knows I am trying to get my ducks in a row.

  Check went out today to pay the funeral. Also sent some photo's to her best friend. I've another friend that would like to have my journals so I won't destroy them.  I will check with the library to see if they take books. They used to for sales but since the pandemic who knows.

  Guess the part for my car didn't come in, haven't heard from them.
