Day Started at 11:55

Things I did today

• Carried full leftover container of food, my phone, and my pills down from the third floor by myself
  
• Decanted food into microwave safe bowl, nuked stew warm, buttered two slices of bread
  
• Carried it into the dining room.
  Note: These things are noted here because they are minor accomplishments for me.
  
• Listened to 4 messages on my cellphone: 1 donation center, 3 new trash company
  
• Called trash company, set up new account for pickup starting tomorrow.
  
• Found letter mentioned in phone message from donation place, mailed 12/12, telling me what company the invoice for transporting the body will come from. Tried to recall when it arrived
  
• Took delivery of a priority mail package that was NOT the death certificate: it contained a sympathy card in an envelope, with a thoughtful handwritten message, and 4 $100 bills. It was unsigned. Thank you, whoever!
  
• Called the donation place again. Earlier mentioned message said that it was filed on the 13th. Person said that they sent me email with instructions on getting more certificates. I recall (again) that I used the MedicalStuff email address for that. Find the email, thank them. Now I can get copies regardless of having one.
  
• Took phone call from eyeglass place telling me that the vision insurance company we used last time doesn't have us in system.
  
• Sent email to HR person asking for more information re vision plan. *sigh*
  
• Sent email asking if the donation place had received the originals yet, so I could look harder for them if needed. Find the original forms re donation that I faxed, and mail them out. (or did I do that? I think I did that... shit.)
  
• Called water company about account. Talked to Janet. Next bill not due till Jan 12. Account now in my name. Wheee.
  
• Spent time chatting on the phone with a friend about things.
  
• Got myself 4pm food, involving standing at fridge to see what was there, nuking stuff, pouring myself tea, cleaning up spilled tea, carrying nuked hamburgers, container of potato salad from deli last week, and full mug of tea to dining room, and breaking a nail as I lost my balance and leaned on something weirdly to regain it without losing anything over the side. Go me.
  
• Called pseg. Talked to Illiana. Need copy of Death Cert - no raised seal - to change name, or can just continue with name. Past due! Xferred to collections, talk ed to Tom. Minimum was paid on Dec 4th. Still have past due. Meters read last week, new bill coming soon, due early January. (probably 4th.) Can call then if still problems.
  
• Called att. Talked to Dwayne. Had to set up a PIN before could do anything else. *arg* Was due Dec 11. Extended to Jan 10. Can call then if still need time.
  
• Call verizon Talked to Jasmine. Lovely BS about "Loyalty has not gone unnoticed." Back due 2 months. Latest that can be extended is Jan 2. Gave me a direct line to Customer Financial Services in case I need to extend further, which I expect I may need.
  
• Called Bank AMerica Credit Card Oh yay, fortunately I'm the primary on that card, so it's just a matter of taking his name off. I told them I couldn't get them money by the 1st, but I most likely could by the 15th. They'll probably call me shortly after the fourth, but they're basically ok with this. Yay.
  

Ending at 18:30. I'm done. Hopefully more tomorrow, and also picking up copies of the death certificate. Yee. Haw.
