I was born in April 1952, an only child and never married. Dad passed in April 1983 at the age of 61 from renal cell carcinoma. Mom passed 2 days after Thanksgiving in 2006 after a prolonged battle with CHF and diabetes at age 76.
I now own their house which has proved to be a big headache for me in regard to maintenance and repairs. I live there with two cats I also inherited, Adam and Gus (brown tabbies with white paws and bibs).
I retired in September 2010 after working 38 years for the New York State Dept. Health doing a wide variety of diagnostic and analytical procedures (I won't bore you with technical details) and have had several research papers published.
I spend most of my time now doing volunteer work for the county, mainly with the home delivered meals program for the elderly and other shut-ins. I also attend 3 Bible studies a week, if I have the time and ambition and spend way too much time doing crossword puzzles, surfing the Internet, reading, and watching TV.
A few times a year I have lawn sales in an attempt to try to get rid of the house contents and get it down to a manageable quantity. I am really interested in getting an efficiency apartment or someplace where I don't have to worry about indoor and outdoor maintenance anymore. This has proven to be a cumbersome task since people are really holding onto their money these days.
