The leaves are turning yellow and beginning to fall. I’m not sure what kind of tree this is outside my window, but it’s fixing to be a bald one. When the icemaker periodically Jengas, the “cubes” fall into this square tub underneath it, and I sometimes have to break them loose before I can get a handful. They’re flat on three sides, and curved on the fourth –). (To be pedantic, they’re not actually cubes. I invariably drop at least one ice cube on the floor and have to chase it down and toss it into the sink. Supposedly we sleep best when we sleep warm in a cold room.Īpparently, I feel it is necessary to make a libation to the refrigerator gods whenever I put ice cubes in my drink bottle. I may have to put a “pull-up” blanket across the foot of my bed. We’re in that Spring/Autumn transitional period, what I call the “not enoughs.” - not hot enough to kick on the AC, not cold enough to kick on the heat. We got 0.15 inches/3.81 mm of rain this morning. Tomorrow night it’s supposed to get down to 38 F/3.3 C! It’s windy and blustery right now, and is supposed to rain a little more. Our high today was 67 F/19.4 C with a low of 40 F/4.4 C. We had a good little rain early this morning that persisted until about 8:00 o’clock. She should get it tomorrow or the next day. I sent her one of those pop-up Halloween cards with a little surprise tucked inside. Thank goodness the people in her church are stepping up to bat and giving her rides to and from work or she’d have lost her job weeks ago. She can’t afford to take Ubers to work or rent a car. The transmission on her car went out on 25 September and she’s been going round and round with the dealership about getting it fixed and supply chain issues, and blah-blah-blah. She can’t live on what she gets from Social Security and has to have a part time job. My poor BFF is still trying to get her car’s transmission fixed. This whole business is beginning to get a little “ Kafkaesque“. The VA gave Covenant a community care authorization number to send the bill to TriWest TriWest didn’t like their number and kicked the bill back (twice now). The opening salvo of this, the third go-round, was an email from Covenant warning me that if I didn’t cough up their $745.03, they were going to send the bill to collections. The bill is for what Medicare didn’t pay, which TriWest (the VA’s insurance) was supposed to cover and didn’t. They’ve already billed Medicare and Medicare has paid their portion. The VA, TriWest, and Covenant are still going round and round about this one bill for a chemo treatment from March 10th. After giving her multiple bags of IV fluids, they’ve managed to get her hydrated and flushed out again, and she was alert, with-it, and in good spirits. They had these cute little pop-up Halloween cards at Market Street and I got mom one of a skeleton playing a theater organ which urged her to Stay Spooky! I took it by to her Friday. He says all my blood work looks good and that I can get my COVID booster now (and will as soon as I can arrange it). I had a blood draw and talked to my oncologist. Now that they’re on this new system, cancer center i go to (JACC) doesn’t mail out appointment notifications, so I only found out I was supposed to have two appointments this morning when they texted me about it Saturday.
