Not much to say this week, five weeks have passed, and still digging this place out.

Focus has switched to comics, and then books, this'll make the largest difference in the place. The original desk focus was good, that helped find all kinds of documents and info that I didn't have, but now its more a matter of volume, and books and comics will clear the most space the fastest. i'm leaning towards bring books to Half Price Books, and then to Thrift Books, though for the latter I'll have to check, I think they normally pay shipping for you to send books to them, but they have a warehouse not far from here that I worked at, so no shipping needed.

On the legal and money sides, last week we finally got his death certificate, and have started the process of claiming his life insurance. The money from that'll pay for a plot and service, and hopefully enough money to buy out his car as there's no way the bank'll let me take over the note, not with my kind of work. For everything else, I'm in contact with a financial manager/planner that my mom uses, figure I need to figure out which way I want to run before I start, no?

Cleaning has been interesting today, was cleaning out a few milk crates from the basement, stuff from his life before I met him, stuff he never really talked about, and I think it would've been interesting to hear. He'd mentioned having had a tongue piercing, but it was gone by the time I met him, but I did find a pic of him showing it off. That was back when he lived in San Francisco, where he was also quite active in the gay pagan community as well as the gay fetish community. I really wish he'd told me more about that time in his life.
