Things are looking up for Mom's stuff, finally...and all the rest of her business. Monday her new bed was delivered. Beth and I were kind of afraid that she wouldn't remember that she was getting a new bed, and that the bed she's been sleeping in is only a loaner, and that once we got her new bed installed she wouldn't like it. We went over to her room in the evening and I assembled the new bed and got the new mattresses in place, and disassembled the loaner and carried it away, and Mom didn't seem to notice. She never said anything about the bed, anyway. Thursday, after days and days of delays, during which the moving company kept calling me and telling me "the truck didn't arrive, so it'll be tomorrow" every day, the truck finally arrived. We had a huge pile of stuff delivered and, fortunately for us, wheeled into the garage. I was afraid they would leave it at the curb and I'd have to lug it to the garage myself. Friday I asked a bunch of guys from work if they could come over after work and help me move that humongous table from the garage into the dining room. Trey, James, and Bruce showed up and it was about all we 4 could do to lift the thing and carry it around the back and through the sliding glass door. I was also afraid I was going to have to reinforce the floor to hold up the table but Beth got an area rug at Menard's to protect the vinyl, and the rest seems to be just fine. Friday night Laura came to town, ready to get down to the business of Mom's business. Specifically, getting the Wells Fargo accounts un-frozen, then paying off the car and getting the accounts all closed. We got an early start (we'd asked the assisted living place to have Mom ready to go with us by 9) at State Farm, got everything signed to fund Dad's life insurance policy (which we're planning to use to pay off the credit cards and such), then headed to Rochester where the nearest Wells Fargo branch is. They tried hard to thwart us and told us first thing that I was supposed to come back Monday because they were so busy...OMG Laura and I were pissed. But, a helpful agent worked with us, and we had an answer for every question and a piece of paper for every requirement. After a couple-few hours there, the Prius was paid off in full, we had the receipt for it, and all the bank accounts were cashed out and closed. I almost expected someone to come running after us with one more thing we needed to do or provide in order for us to be done, but we made it out the door with the check and have finished with Wells Fargo forever. Never again. We then visited PNC to get me added to Mom's checking account, only to find that since it's an account that social security goes to, and I'm not the primary POA, we can't. But we can get me an ATM or debit card for it, so that's what we're going to do. Anyway, we dropped off Mom at her place again in the late afternoon, then Beth and I and Laura went out to dinner without the kids to Rua. Laura was gone early this morning.
