The A/C guy came early this morning to do the annual check on the A/C unit. I’m grateful I woke up early and was ready for him when he showed up an hour early.
Kathy had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon and I went to town with her. Since I was at the clinic I remembered to get a blood draw to check my TSH levels. They came back low at 0.5. They haven’t been this low for a long time. I bet they won’t change my prescription and have me recheck them in four weeks.
We stopped at the pharmacy after we were done at the clinic and came home. Going to the clinic late afternoon is a good time to go. There was no wait for the blood draw or for the elevators. The place looked almost empty.
I cleaned up a clutter corner in the living room today. That corner has bothered me for a long time and it feels good to have it cleaned up. I have three items that I need to find a new place for. One needs to be hung outside but not sure I have the skills to do that. The other two need to be hung inside and not sure I have the skills for that either. I also have a sack of books to take to the library book sale or put in the free library box in Strong City.
I got tickets to the Royals game for June 14. Michelle, Kathy and I are going. Geoff is throwing out the first pitch. I asked Nicole what time we should be there and she said they are getting there around 11:00. It is a 3:10 game. I guess they are giving away bubble heads for the first guests that arrive. Don’t think I want one that bad to arrive four hours before the game starts. I think we will plan on arriving around 2:00. Not sure how long I can handle being in a crowd. Trust the weather will cooperate that day.
I got hold of the man that bought Max’s truck. He had a medical problem and hadn’t gotten to the registrar yet. He took care of it today. He had to call me for some more information which luckily I had. He called back and said it was taken care of. It had taken him two hours at the registry to take care of it. I appreciate him taking care of it today so I can cross that off my list. I will call and cancel the truck insurance tomorrow. Grateful that issue got resolved.
Found out today the death certificates are in the mail to me. They should be here well before June 4 which is when I can file for probate. Massachusetts has three levels of probate and Max qualifies for the easiest one. They call it Voluntary Administration. The rest of the things that need done can’t happen until I get a response back from the probate judge. It may be mid summer before all gets taken care of. Don’t have any reason to rush it all so will allow it to happen when it needs to.
Tomorrow Kathy and I are going to decorate graves. We will go to Marion, Florence, Hillsboro and Cottonwood Falls Cemeteries. I remembered to buy flowers last time I was at Walmart. It will take a couple of hours to do the round trip. Maybe we will have lunch in Florence as a treat.
No plans for the weekend. I do have a family reunion to go to at noon on Monday if I can make myself go. Sometimes I can and sometimes I just can’t. I don’t have any other plans all week next week. Still loving this empty space time but know the time is coming when it won’t feel so good. I do better when I have a bit of structure and things to look forward to during the week.
I do need to track down Tagen next week and do something about his truck. We need to sell his big truck and get him a more financially suitable vehicle. He can’t afford this big truck. Not sure how I go about this but I will figure this out. We also need to set a date for him to be moved out of the rental house so I can get it listed and sold.
Can’t say I was surprised the House passed the Big Beautiful Bill. I was comforted a bit when I read that the Senate has to pass it exactly as it is without any changes. From what I read the chances of that are slim to none. They will make changes and then it has to go back to the House again and repeat the process. Trusting that it won’t pass and become law. The poor in our country deserve better. Hell, all the people in this country deserve better.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed tonight. The clutter in the living room is getting to me and I haven’t figured out how to get rid of it yet. Tomorrow is trash day but my trash container is already full. Not sure I can handle it for another two weeks or more. May end up having to carry it to my car and taking it to the dump.
Grateful the truck issue got resolved today rather easily, grateful the A/C unit checked out OK, and grateful one more clutter corner was cleaned up today.
