wraithfodderI want to thank everyone who left condolecenses in my previous post. They were very, very much appreciated. I have not yet had the time to reply to them all, but I do plan to.
The house still feels empty, and way too large, now that my mother is gone. I've been going through papers (important for probate, etc.) and some closets - some of which have unopened sheets dating back to the 60s. The Mad Men set decorators would have a stroke looking at all the old stuff in this house! I found a heating pad cover from the 60s/70s, with this 'flower power' green power design. Very retro.
I got up two Christmas trees - tiny ones. Alas, the Dalek remains undecorated this year. Hopefully next year. Here's just a sampling of some of the decorations. I need to find mini-Dalek globes. Alas, the Godzilla ornaments are too big/heavy for the Christmas tree, which is one of those tiny table-top varities.
On the good side, the two Stargate Atlantis (one's a Stargate Atlantis/SG-1 crossover) novels I ordered from Fandemonium arrived! I just may take a break from cleaning/probate stuff and read a book!

So Sorry
Date: 2011-12-31 04:57 am (UTC)I found it so hard, the cleaning out after my mother`s passing. I`d respected the boundaries regarding her belongings when she was alive, it felt so wrong to be going through her belongings after her passing. And then I`d find the most interesting things and want to know the story behind them.
I reread the Pern novels, and then my brother and I watched SG-1 series on DVD. I hope the SGA novel is wonderful escape.
