Morning

Overheard from the kitchen:
(exasperated) "Will you give me back that plate?!?!"
"What plate?"
"The plate you're holding!"
"I don't see any plate."
"I can see it in your hand!"
Me: "Will you two stop being siblings at each other???"
"No. And it's your fault, you know."
"No it isn't."
"Yes it is, mom."
"Nope. Your dad did that."
"Are you trying to tell me you didn't do anything?"
Me: ...
"Really? You did nothing at all."
"... I laid back and thought of England."
"I DON'T BELIEVE YOU, MOM!"

Mostly for me: things I've gotten done today

putting it here means I can access it anywhere. I used todo this back on lj.

Calls I made

• Called vision place and made appointments (Thu 1:15) for C and I, for eye exams and glasses as needed.
  
• Called donation place to ask about death certificate again. Got answering service, left message.
  
• Called trash services. (Republic Services) We received a letter dated Dec 8th that our services were suspended for over-60-day-due bill. Person I talked to claimed not to be able to turn them back on due to computer system refusing it due to over-60-days. At least it's cold out.
  
• Called Plymouth Rock insurance re home/car insurance policies. They were happy to take his name off the policies and put mine on just on my say so over the phone. This seems wrong to me, but I'm not arguing.
  
• Barbara At Plymouth Rock said that I should see if there was life insurance, because that was a thing they did when it was all Prudential. She gave me the number for PruLife, and connected me to a person. Unfortunately, the life insurance policy they have on file lapsed many years ago. *sigh*
  
• Called TIAA-CREF. Received direct phone number for beneficialry svcs: 888-380-6428. (8am-7pm EST M-F) Rcvd PIN to put on subject line of any email. Death Cert needs Cause Of Death filled out. Can scan/email/fax Death Cert, DOES NOT NEED RAISED SEAL. (yay!) Needs Surrogate Cert (or whatever), same as DC, DOES NOT NEED RAISED SEAL. Regardless of delay in receiving DC, should get info by snail mail around Jan 10. (note to self: make note of the pin somewhere else.)
  
• Called PNC Investors to find out why we got mail from them for a 529 acct that doesn't match the known Franklin Templeton account number. Reason: They're weird, it's actually the same account. *facepalm*
  
• Cathy, the PNC person connected me to Franklin Templeton person, who guided me through their website to find the form to print out to change the information.
