Ok, that's it for me. Sorry, but this has NOT been a good month, and, while I still have 9 days of the month, that time is pretty much claimed with paperwork and packing my Mum's belongings and clearing out her room at the Nursing Home. She passed away on the 16th, and I've been gone, taking her body "home" to bury her next to my Dad. It wasn't totally unexpected, she's been failing for 2 years, and I think that she just finally gave up the fight. She went peacefully in her sleep.
