Day 130
Monday, August 4, 2014
This was in a few ways a much more productive day, although
it had some extremely frustrating elements.
DS and DN picked me up in the morning, and we went to the rental office …
only to be told, once again, the lease wasn’t ready for signing. We were told that the “reason” was that no
one (meaning DN or myself) had told them whether or not the cat would be coming
with us. What??? When I went in last week and had the guy give
me a break down of the expenses, I said OK.
I wanted to give him a check then for the pet deposit, but he said it
had to all be paid at once on the 15th. Now I want to know … WHAT part of that even
hinted that there was any possibility of the cat not coming??? We were all 3 severely annoyed (I’m being “nice”). We did go by the bank and I gave DN the rest
of my share of deposits. DS took DN back
to her apartment. Then we went to a
storage facility that is on a bus route, and put my name on a waiting list (and
was assured having a unit available by the end of August was no problem). Next we went by the UHaul place. DS had looked online and it said nothing was
available; but when we got there, there was no problem at all reserving a
trailer. So that’s all taken care of at
least. DS took me by her house and gave
me lunch, then took me on home. She also
had some very good suggestions for me regarding some of the things I’m trying
to get rid of!
While out, DB called .. they may have a buyer for the
freezer. I need to dig out the owner’s
manual (pretty sure I came across that when sorting all that paperwork), check
what brand name it is.
Later in the evening DN called to let me know the lease has
been fixed and she has signed. I just
have to make a THIRD trip to town to sign it!!
I didn’t actually get anything packed, but I did at least
work on getting a few areas cleared again.
I also looked at my “to do” list … and added more things that needed to
be on it. So it’s getting longer instead
of shorter, which is really scary!! I
have 50 things to get done in 19 days.
And at least 14 of those are things that require help of one sort or
another (either a ride somewhere, or help with reading/identifying something).
TGF had said she would come by with BGS16 to help get some
things out of tall cabinets. But it was
after 7:00 before they got here (she’d had fires to put out too), and I was too
tired to deal with the cabinets. But
they did take at least 3 large boxes of yardsale stuff, plus all the
trash. She also said she would come
early enough tomorrow (doctor appointment) to go by to sign the lease on the
way. I think perhaps I will go on and
take the computer with me, on the off chance of getting it to BB to fix. It’s very frustrating to not have my
email. But it’s horrible to not be able
to access my bank account!! I can call
and get a balance; but I need to see (usually every day) exactly what has
cleared. So getting the computer fixed
really is urgent.
I was so tired I don’t even remember what was on TV; nothing
much I thnk. I went to sleep soon after
10:00, and slept very soundly .. until 4:00. L Now, of course, I’m wide awake. I have been for awhile now .. a sink full of
dishes washed, and I’m ready for another cup of coffee. And it’s not even close to daylight yet. Oh, and also did my best to send out the “family”
version of the newsletter … because if there’s a button for “blind copies” I
have no idea where it is. I had to cull
email address together as best I could (most of them because DIL looked them up
for me) and create a list I could copy to get in the “to” box.
I;m supposed to call SIL about coming over today. I think I should have called her yesterday,
but too much on my mind to even think of that.
She had said she’d come “Tuesday or Wednesday” .. but tomorrow is out
because I won’t be here. Maybe it will
wait until later in the week. She wants
to help me go through stuff from upstairs; but I really think I need to at
least finish the paperwork project before starting something else! Besides, until I finish that ther’s stuff all
over the living room floor.
This afternoon the insurance agent is coming by for my “annual
review” of my something or other. I can’t
even remember what it is. I had actually
forgotten he had promised to do that.
Oh, and that reminds me .. something else that needs to be on my list …
I have to take care of making sure my beneficiary information on my insurance
policies is up to date. I believe the
guy today can help with that; I didn’t want to do it until I had my new
address, so all of that can be taken care of today. I hope.
Awake or not, I’m on the edge of headachy. I have way too much to get done to have time
to feel bad, so I think I’ll settle back and see if I can get another hour of
sleep before starting in on this day.
