Accomplishments of the Day

Made it to the DMV on time. Successfully transferred the title of the Volvo - it's a paperless title, that's why I couldn't find anything. The Toyota is more complicated. Even though I have a title, it was issued by Louisiana and California doesn't care about it. But it was in both of our names, so I think it doesn't matter. She said once everything goes through probate I'll be able to get a clear title, but I have no idea what to expect about that. I won't try to sell it, I guess. I've never sold a car before, so I am okay with not starting now - my way is to drive each car into the ground and then donate it to someone who will tow it away. It's a bit silly for me to own two cars at this point, but it doesn't cost me much and having the hauling capacity of the station wagon in reserve might come in handy.

Got my affidavit notarized and mailed off with another death certificate enclosed - I only put one stamp on the one I mailed last week and sending this packet cost the equivalent of 3, so the redundancy might be justified. Then I went to the drugstore and decided to postpone Social Security. They are, as their phone message helpfully reminds me, busiest early in the  month and early in the week, so I can say the delay is practical. Really, I'm just tired of being out and about.

I have to go out again at some point today, the cats are out of food. Neighbor cat came into the house, ate up a bunch of their food, and spilled the rest when he fled. Grr. He actually seems like he's probably someone's sweet pet, but my house is not his territory, dammit.

Right, paying bills, that was the real reason I stopped running errands, I have no money in my checking account. I better get on that.
