    LOL I don't blame you. I am done the husband continues a day or two. I think. I hope its two because I have not even totally unpacked, let alone done anything useful. I slept until 10:10. It was AWESOME.

    Yoga only today. Then I must attack my tasks like a rabid ferret. Ugh.
    Anna
    I think you did enough rabid ferret stuff and can work at a slightly slower pace now. When is it that you have to leave for WV? I have CRS.

    I woke up. Hands and back still hurt but it could be way worse. Yeah, I am trying to get the husband out of there but I'm just waking up.

    I am SO GLAD to be done man. I have exactly 1 month and 2 days to get to WV and start work.

    THERE will be NO procrastinating on the husband's part on this. He gets a day or two off, then we will be to the races. Sigh. I am not doing ANYTHING today but yoga to unkink myself.

    There were several things I wish I could have thrown away, like the dang weightlifter's belt and arm braces, but I am pretty sturdy and PREPARED for this. Like, but the concrete bit, I was able to MOVE the 80 lb concrete bags. I mean.... Not pick them up but like, make them get where they needed to go. I am an ant for REALS I guess. The husband told me I was more helpful than a nearly 7 foot gigantic Native Dude he knows when it came to the door.; I ASKED the husband how heavy it was and he said, "That's not important just do what I say." He did not WANT me to know but it turned out alright. For me anyway I have a feeling the husband was doing most of the heavy lifting but we have done this so many times.

    So, I lost my coffee thing, and I do not know where the other one is. Annoying. I decided to use the strarbucks frappacinno bottle I drank last time I was up here for a night because I was like, "I need something coffee like, " it was gross but I was not about to make coffee.

    MY MILK was dated 7/13. I kind of gave it a shake and a sniff and shoved it in there. it's fine (I HATE black coffee) this is because I keep my fridge at ungodly low temperatures because I believe it keeps things longer. (Just above freezing.) Certainly true in this case. I love coffee so much. Also immobility.

    I am sad to report I did something already and that something was like, plug in and start using my battery charger. Sigh though I am not entirely sure the milk will last until tomorrow and that means I gotta go to Walmart which ALSO means I am going to have to go to the post office to like, collect some registered letter from my work. ;It better be COBRA related I might need it IDK. SS sucks and I should call but I have to call the husband AND the kid.

    I really don't want to talk to anyone or do anything but life,, it does not work like that for me, especially NOW.

    I hope they still have it. Yeah I am gonna have to go out. ;For one, I have no REAL fpod, snacks? Yes. Real food? No

    That is my plan for today we will see what happens.

    I got some time.

    Good luck with your day. I'm hoping you can get to WV a tad before it becomes a need.

    I tried something new yesterday (just mixed in my tank using leftover SFTs)
    (WF) Coissant
    (WF) Chocolate chunks
    (PUR) Creamy caramel
    (WF) Flapper pie
    Haven't worked out the % but it good. Then I added some (FW) Hazelnut... that was a mistake (and this has happened before) The hazelnut muted the caramel (and I didn't even use much)

    I generally think 3rd party insurances and warranties are scams, but perhaps that's just me.
    The only ones I swear by are the Square Trade warranties I buy for the wireless keyboards I use that always politely fail after the manufacturer's warranty expires but within the period when Square Trade's coverage kicks in.

    This happens to be my most fervent hope too. OMG I gotta think in chunks though. Chunks.

    I need to arrive at least a week before hand, otherwise I will be a basket case. Guess I should really call that realtor too. See, tasks stacking up.

    It's just annoying and I ALSO first need to call my doc because I am having ISSUES with meds and being about to run out. I need to figure out insurance and how to not run out. Or even where is cheapest to get them using good rx and not run out.

    If I run out I am in the hospital and like, that is not COOL. Guess I will email for early appointment.

    Afternoon Mixers!

    Square Trade got me a new TV when my other one developed lines on the screen, I thought I was out a TV but the wife had bought a 4 year plan and they got me a new Vizio 75" 4k that's better than what I had. That was great.

    Plumber coming today to replace the pressure regulating valve and do a couple of other things.

    The wait time on the phone turned out to be over an hour and I hung up. Maybe we can get something going online.

    Doctor appointment first and then call the realtor and get him/her on the job. Then you can proceed with your day. You have already shown that you can get an amazing amount of crap done in a day so you should be fine.

    @FranC good year or bad year you are loved here. Talk about it when you are ready. Hugs.

    OMG I did way, way too much. It was horrible. I emailed my doc while calling SSA. I hate them so much especially since they are all home with COVID they tell SUCH AMAZING LIES. The woman said she couldn't transfer me to medicare, even though I KNOW she could have. They keep telling me I am active when I shouldn't be although if I am it might almost be easier.

    I HATE MEDICARE. Don't get me wrong I am glad it exists it is the worst insurance on the face of the earth and it sucks, though.

    Anyway so then I was looking up goodrx prices which are lower than Medicare anyway so I just sent a begging email to my doc to FILL them and do a rapid appt (I need one for my private disability which THANK GOD I have it, it has been keeping us TOTALLY afloat.;) Per SSDI lady before she hung up on me, "Your local Douglas office is working on it." I want a supervisor to transfer it OUT of there because the Douglas office "wins" by just not doing ANYTHING like I might get it next year. However. I am ONLY capable of one SSA call a day. So, I will call about the insurance thing tomorrow and etc. and like, hope my doc just faxes my meds. He said he would.

    Then I signed a bunch of checks and deposited and called the realter and left a message. Called both my guys and chatted briefly. There is no possible way it Is 2 pm but pretty soon here I am going to BATHE, I so want to the tub at the Tucson house (in the public bathroom which we were using like SUCKED. I hate that tub (it has a splotch of purple paint it is impossible to get clean, lit is probably the worst thing in the house) sucked and is tiny. I will have a long soak. I also have a splitting headache.. Not sure if that is Advil withdrawal or what but after I take my meds well we will see. Also emailed our realtor to get contract to sign, etc.

    Gah.; I PLAN to be fast with like, Walmart it doesn't always work that way.

    Here's hoping.

    I can get a lot done in a day being homeless and medless is motivating I guess.

    However, anyone who makes more than one SSA call a day, I salute you. They make me want to throw plates, but in their faces, not my back yard.

    Have you checked at gethuman.com to see if they have "better" phone numbers for that outfit?

    COVID does suck and once the left uses it to totally turn us into communists that will suck too.

    COVID is just a RIGHT PITA you can't DO anything fun and even though I personally BELIEVE (and I do work in the healthcare field and know many folks who do) IT is also FINE for most folks and a TON of numbers are being conflated and created out of nowhere, it just sucks because a) you can't do anything fun and b) like, it is socially divisive.

    I bet you anything if Trump STEPPED down today, COVID would magically be gone tomorrow.

    I should figure out how to make an announcement for him, to test my theory. Hmmm.

    Having had it yea it sucked and I still think I had it and so does everyone SANE but like it's just DEPRESSING.

    Also how is it I can do all this stuff like MOVE and rehab my house and some people can't do anything?

    I guess it is a personal choice. Oh, I had my COVID MOMENT finally.

    It was late, I was tired, I was getting something I needed.. I was in a Circle K, and like forgot to get my mask out of my car and put it on. This old boomer (he had a mask HE was fine) screamed at me from across the store, "WHERE IS YOUR COVID MASK"" Had he been remotely polite, I would have said, "Oh gosh I am sorry lemme run get it." It's so old it is USELESS by the way but meh. Instead, almost reflexively I screamed back, "WHERE IS YOUR A:censored:LE SIGN? I ALREADY HAD IT YOU WON' T GET COVID OR PLASMA FROM ME BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET TOO CLOSE AND CATCH A:censored:L:E I HEAR THAT IS TERMINAL!!!!!"

    I mean he was 20 feet away I was frightened of a citizen's arrest really although it would be hard to collar me, without violating the 6 foot rule (also a crime currently in AZ) so we were in a mutual standoff. It was kinda cool cuz it was late, .all kids working, enjoying the show.

    I finally said "I have a COVID mask in my car. I woulda got it but NOW I am not going to. Call 911 if you want but I think they have better things to do. .Stay away from me, even with the mask I can tell you are ugly."

    I felt bad but only much later. I still think screaming is like a little OTT though.;

    The COVID is bad news

    Got it! I agree! It's terrible. I remember when they told us we should shelter in place for two weeks! It sure has been a long two weeks! I'm not complaining about doing my part to help, but we need to wipe this virus out pronto!
