This has been an easier day for me. I even got a good long nap this afternoon.
We got the paperwork to handle Kathy’s life insurance policy. We had tried doing this with the local funeral home but the paperwork did not get done properly so we have to do it again. This time I called a funeral home in Emporia. The guy there knew immediately what we need to do. He called the local insurance guy and got the proper paperwork for us. We are going to meet with him next Monday and get things taken care of. It was a relief to find someone that knew what they were doing. It will be a relief to get this final life insurance policy taken care of.
I did two loads of laundry and even managed to get them folded and put away. I didn’t manage to get the last two loads I did Monday folded so took care of those today too.
I got three thank you notes written for the Love in Action project and their checks deposited and recorded.
The gas company sent the bill to my contractor so he brought that over. I got the check written and put it in the mail.
I am still not showing any symptoms of Covid so thinking I got lucky and won’t get it. Kathy is still not 100% but is doing better. I think she is getting tired of being tired. She tested positive a week ago Friday so hoping she is almost done with this. Last time it took her over two weeks before she tested negative. She still tested positive yesterday.
The Executive director of the Urgent Care center for the hospital called me today. Kathy’s doctor’s nurse had called her Monday to see how she was doing as they had received a report she had been in the ED. Kathy told them about our experience getting her script for the antibodies. I told her my side of the story. She apologized and said she would investigate and call me back tomorrow with her findings. We shall see if she does.
I am listening to a required training sessions on safety planning for the event I am hosting on October 18. In order to get listed on the 50501 site I have to attend this safety session. Not sure most of it applies to me but I will check their box.
I went to the post office and got some more international stamps. Found out the person passing out the cards didn’t understand the international stamps and I have a feeling they were used for domestic mail. She didn’t know that letters going to Mexico needed an international stamp. I will write out some instructions for her and take the stamps up to the Detention Center tomorrow.
My contractor came over and we discussed a few more details about the build. I decided to add a whole house attic fan to the room. I had one at one of the houses I lived in years ago and loved it. He said it would be no problem to add it. We talked about A/C and heating for the room. The heating guy is coming to do my fall check October 1 and I think we are going to ask him and get his advice as to what we need to do then. We may not even need to do anything. We could always add a wall unit to the bathroom to keep it from freezing if needed. The door between the kitchen and the new room is going away so the heat and air will flow to the new room anyways.
Tomorrow will be exciting as the guy that is preparing the foundation and flooring is coming to get started. Phil wasn’t sure if they will be able to pour cement tomorrow or not. Kathy cut a bouquet of zinnias this afternoon as her patch will get run over tomorrow. They are stating to fade and the bottom of them is dying so it only cut their life short by a few weeks.
No plans until Monday when Kathy and I are getting our flu shots and I will get the Covid vaccine. After that we are going to the funeral home to get the life insurance policy turned over to them via an irrevocable trust.
It felt good to get a few things done today, especially the life insurance policy. I don’t have knowledge of these types of things and depend on the professionals to guide me. It was disappointing that it didn’t get done properly the first time. I didn’t get any cleaning done but that seems to wait for me. Maybe the mood will hit tomorrow and I can get some done.
Finally feeling like I am above neutral again. It sure helps when the day goes easy. Now I wonder if it goes easy because I was above neutral? Probably a correlation.
Grateful to get this life insurance thing taken care of, grateful for an easy day, and grateful the construction will really get going tomorrow.
