Her life, though marked with tragedy, was lived very much to her own drumbeat but by 77, with a history of both Parkinson's and stroke as well as mental illness, the early morning fall which left her unresponsive due to a massive brain bleed, saddened those of us who remained in her shrinking circle. I hope she did not suffer. I will remember the funny, smart, creative woman I met accidentally one day during my freshman year long ago and the equally acerbically comedic old lady she became.
There is no more news on the condo front, though I've done some reading about the dissolution of condominium associations in Florida. This is apparently complicated and a multi-stage process. Under current law eighty percent of the owners must agree for the process to go forward. Lawyers also need to ask a judge for the dissolution and may also make recommendations. An independent appraiser or trustee can then be appointed to see to the valuation of the real property and common areas and the disbursement of funds. Owners have a defined timeframe in which to respond. The fact that I'll be signing away not an investment property but my primary residence has little bearing on the situation and without knowing what the fair market value is for the land we sit on, it will be difficult to look but I must, so that will commence in the new year.
In the meantime, I'm awaiting a natural pest control company to deal with a bug infestation and looking forward to a massage for my back and tired muscles. The Thursday of Thanksgiving will be spent among favorite friends, one of whom is celebrating her birthday this weekend with me and another friend. Has anyone seen Bohemian Rhapsody, the biopic about Freddy Mercury and Queen?
Wishing all of you who celebrate a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Until Next Time...
