cause what is simple in the moonlight, by the morning never is...

i have found myself at a loss for words over the last few weeks.

i have been absent from the interwebs due to some family drama and the subsequent "sorting" of my Mothers meager estate.

quite often, i've found myself staring at images of her, as if they will give me some sort of counsel as to how to process and proceed in this unwanted obligation.

you see, i am the executor of my Mothers estate.  technically, i am the "executrix" because i am female.  wtf?

it sounds glamorous doesn't it?  well, it isn't.

it is a mountain of paperwork, files, debts, assets and emotions and i am hating every moment of it.

combined with the natural disasters and token assassinations swirling around the news, my faith in Mother Earth and humanity in general has faltered. 

i am exhausted with talking to lawyers and filling out forms - i am tired of doing laundry and blubbering alone at night about the fact that Mothers Day is this Sunday.
thank goodness the sun came out because i think one more day without it would have pushed me over the edge!
i am slowly working on restocking the shop which has proven to be therapeutic on many levels. 
i thank you all for your patience and encouragement as i wrangle my way through all this bullshit!
