I got nothing but bad news today.
First, I am Fool's drummer and his wife are sick. Additionally, his wife tested positive for COVID (he was negative), and they have to quarantine for two weeks, which means that our comeback performance, at our annual festival, has been canceled.
I was adjusting to this bad news (somewhat gracelessly, I admit) when I got a call from my sister-in-law, Denie, which led me to discover that all the paperwork that has been prepared for her has her incorrect name. I had asked Denie if she had a middle name, she told me 'No'. She does, and it was on her tax return, which, I discovered, has the wrong social security number for her.
My profound disappointment over the news of I am Fool's canceled performance, likely our last chance to play out until mid-2022, faded before the realization that, at this point, I could make no further progress in handling Denie's situation.
I haven't been this frustrated since last week, when I traveled to NYC to take care of my application for Administration of my brother's "Small Estate", got a half-dozen documents notarized, got shot down by the Surrogate's Court clerk, scrambled to get a corrected form signed and notarized by Denie, only to find out that she has no acceptable ID to get that done.

This, though, is worse. The death certificate has to be amended. Last year's tax return has to be amended. My application for Administration has to be completely re-done.
I'm hiring a lawyer. I'm in 'way over my head. This needs professional help.

I took all this frustration and disappointment to the Wednesday open mic at Shifty's, where I saw some friends, had an extra shot of Jameson's, and led a very well-received set. I went to bed tired and, thanks to my friends and fellow-musicians, pretty much over the day's unpleasantness(es).
I'm grateful for being in a position to help, and for having people to help me when, like today, I need help.
