Payoff Notice

October
It was a Friday night and I drove in the cold toward my mom's house.  There were 4 things I had to get:

1.) Orange necklace
2.) Letter about President Kennedy
3.) another necklace
4.) Closet organizer drawer

I turned into the neighborhood from Aurelius Road, the back way, the way she liked to go.  I started to get this feeling that something was pulling me back...I didn't want to actually go inside her house.  I called Dean and he said he was at the Crystal having a beer.  So, the house was empty.

I found the spare key under the deck and let myself in.  My mom's presence almost swallowed me.  I tried to shake it off but her smell, her touch....it was everywhere.  I got the creeps and after shaking them off, I went to find what I needed to find.

Necklaces.  CHECK.
Closet organizer.  Found it in the garage.  CHECK
Letter about JFK.  Unable to find it.  So I start searching through random papers in the garage.  I suddenly saw something different that Dean, Jeff and Lyn needed so badly: the payoff notice to my mom's Trailblazer.  I decided I could look for the JFK letter at a different time.  I needed to leave.  I called my sister as I was about to drive by her house and said, "did you still need the payoff notice to mom's truck?"

"Um...YEAH."

"I'm pulling in with it."

Weird how things work out.  Finding things you aren't looking for.  I ended up at the Crystal drinking a crappy glass of wine talking to Dean about heaven.
