Death and Taxes

It's cold and grey today but at least it still looks like spring out there....daffodils, hostas, peonies and chives.  I should make some chive oil with those chives----maybe put it on pasta for dinner tonight....

I just spent a good chunk of the day buried in Judi's taxes.....what a mess---trying to deal with her disability income, selling a house, medical expenses.....ugh....let's just say there are better ways to spend a gray day.  I didn't have much to go on so I've been sitting here going through her bank statements online trying to figure out her expenses.  It broke my heart....seeing how many months were merely checks to the pharmacy and the cancer center....then just a few months where there were payments to restaurants and other stores once again....then again back to just the medical expenses.....  Then I tried to go through stuff on her computer so I can finally send it back to Clemson.  Again, it pretty much fucking broke my heart.  Folders full of pictures of the boys, all her work related documents and then a folder of pictures of her house, every room and outside, that was labeled 'final pictures.'

I need to think of something fun and messy to cook to cheer myself up...something we can cook a long time and make the house STINK as the boys will complain.....something with lots of garlic....

I really miss my sister today.
