If today were the last day of your life and you knew it, would you want to do what you're about to do, today?

I'd drop everything and go for a drive and enjoy the beauty of nature which is scarce in winter but there is no snow so that's a plus. I would take photographs and list them as my last day, 😥 , then I would probably get a latte and maybe some chocolates to eat. WTF right? :ROFLMAO:. I'd come home and kiss BF and go to sleep and wait for the end in peace. I hope my end is more exciting than this.

Similar. No photos and no BF. But I'd write or call a few friends or relatives.

Then buy some good chocolates and a big take-out coffee, and go for a long drive. Stop in a truck pullout, eat chocolates, look at the stars, and get comfy for the end.
 
Only thing different would be to thaw out some steaks, invite son's over for last family meal with me. Give them a good memory. But the sadness of knowing my wife would have to soldier on alone would taint the celebration for me.
 

I have been preparing for my "last day" for the last 10 years - ie getting rid of "stuff" (eg: tax returns from 50 years, broken items that has been on the "to repair" list, clothes that are out of style, box of "interesting recipes" from newspaper/magazines/friend, cupboard of saved containers for ??? as well as clothes that are TOO BIG (yes, I finally realize I don't need to snack between meals!!)
 
Gosh this is adding things to my to-do list. I had a will made in Nebraska but I don't know whether that covers the condo I bought here in Maryland. I guess I would have to race around calling lawyers to see if I could come in immediately to make sure things are done okay.

Then I guess I'd have to try to prepare my daughter but I am pretty sure she would not handle it well, so I guess maybe I'd also have to call her birth relatives and prime them to be ready to be emotionally supportive.

Then I'd get a cake and ice cream and go sit on a bench outside and look at the pond and trees.

ETA - forgot the cat, gee I don't know what I could arrange for him, might have to add some caretaker to the will for the cat since he is scared of people and has constipation problems that require coaxing him to eat miralax laced canned cat food twice a day and he is only willing to eat a tablespoon of food per meal.

Not really that day is coming for all of us. We just may not have the warning.

I'd go to the Humane Society to surround myself with dogs .. then, would have a family dinner - with all my
favourite music playing in the background. Lots of Aretha, soul & blues, with some good old R&R thrown in.
