I mentioned that it was supposed to get down to freezing last night, but I don't think it did - upper 30s, maybe, though, which is still pretty chilly by our standards. We do usually get a freeze or two (or sometimes more) but it's usually later in the winter when that happens. (Is it even technically winter yet? I think not, come to think of it!)
I was off today and I only ventured out to go to the credit union because we are trying to close out the very last one of my mother's trust accounts. (Some of you who remember me from way back may remember hearing about this looooong ago - my mom died in early 2007, I believe, so darn near 20 years ago.) We had to do some thinking (and some querying of my sister) to figure all this out - at the time Mama died, my sister and her ex were getting or had just gotten divorced, and my mother had been very determined that my ex-brother-in-law should not be able to get his hands on any of her money. Which is what resulted in a trust so strong that that we're still trying to jailbreak the last money out of it at this late date, even though I'm the executor. (With help from the CU, we think we've got it figured out. We just need the right paperwork!)
I'm still half-sick, although I've been coughing off and on for almost two weeks and so I'm bound to be near the end of this cycle, I hope. We did manage to go try that Mexican restaurant that we hadn't been to before and it was really good. (I may go eat leftover fajitas soon, come to think of it!)
