Uncertainty
Cause of death: still under investigation.
I called to check, because they said 6-8 weeks for the toxicology report and it's been 8 weeks but they can't tell me anything other than the COD is not yet determined.
I was pretty comfortable with my savings when I thought 8 weeks was a real estimate, but now I am less sure how to proceed. I'm sure there will be additional time after the death certificate is issued before I can get everything settled and really know what my financial situation is and money is the one area where I really don't like ambiguity.
I suppose I should focus on the not direness. I mean, the worst case scenario is that I lose the house and stay with my parents 'til I can get back on my feet. That's not so bad. And is probably not going to be the way things go.
But not knowing how long I have to stretch my savings does make it hard to budget. And I like a budget, just like I like a plan, even if I don't follow it. Presently, I have neither.
