What's on your mind?

Gonna need money, and my dad's copy of Windows 10, and the product key that came with it. Since I want to make sure that the OS stays the same as I had started using it. Either that, or just find and use the two Hard drives from my, now without case, PC, again with the use of my dad's copy of Windows 10 and product key. Though what's funny about this Hard drive right now is that I could not defrag it until I pull a Scan and Repair at times. After all that's done, I was able to. Right now it's acting normal for now.

On my mind? The Estate.
I filed paperwork nearly a month ago to acquire 'Letters of Administration' for my Dad's Estate since I held his Last Will and Testament where it said... well... Yeah, I'm the beneficiary. Now part of the duties of administration it to provide proof that a newspaper published a public notice of my appointment as the administrator, and was told the deadline was 20 days. Hell, the courthouse gave me three choices where to publish, the costliest only $30 bucks. Well, I never scrimp.
Well, I never received notice in any online listing for weeks, since part of the courthouse fees was supposed to be the $30 fee. But I found no trace of it. So I called the paper to see if I could place the notice myself. They informed me that this is solely handled by the courthouse and they hadn't given them the notice to publish. So I called the courthouse, and 'Lisa' told me that they are behind. When I told her that the 20 day deadline was coming up, she told me not to worry because of the delay. Erm, that deadline was this Monday.
So I called the newspaper again today (their publications weekly on Thursdays), and they recognized who I was. In fact, the receptionist asked me by MY name. I was told they haven't picked it up YET, and that maybe FRIDAY they'll receive the information. Woof... this was the pricier and more established paper.... what if I chose a cheap one?
*sigh* That's Maryland and this county for you.
Hope you get those letters soon.
