Again this week, a non-artistic topic. I am writing this on Wednesday as I may be busy on Thursday… Hasn’t this been a crazy winter? As I write this the sky outside is a dark ominous gray, it’s way above freezing and the wind is gusting. We have already had a short power cut this morning, you know, the kind that just forces you to reset all those blinking appliances! It’s been above freezing with bouts of very heavy rain for the last 24 hours but it’s supposed to get very cold this afternoon very fast, and I just hope we don’t get any freezing rain. Apparently they received substantial amounts overnight only about an hour away from us, where it didn’t get quite as warm! Then snow is in our forecast! You may recall we sold a small property recently in the US. Well, the paperwork finally came in after weeks of no news, and of course it has to be completed and notarized and sent back within 3 days! We had been told everything would be done through “e-signatures”, but I guess that was wrong! To make things even more fun, they moved the closing date up 2 days without telling us, and the document they emailed to us was full of errors, including considering us as US citizens even though they had our mailing address in Canada and I told her on the phone we were Canadians! And we are talking about legal documents here, prepared by people who do this for a living! So I sent back a list of corrections and questions and am waiting for them to send us a new document. We are also waiting for a phone call back from a notary we have used in the past to see if she can notarize the documents as a rush job. And the weather is menacing! I sure hope the phone rings soon and that the power stays on! I will update Thursday morning if I can!

UPDATE: We were not able to get a notary in time, but instead we did all the signing online (which honestly should have been the first option, but let me just say that it appeared that the person we were dealing with was not the sharpest knife in the drawer). It was an interesting experience, to say the least!
