Today, I

• Woke up at midnight for my midnight food/pills, from a dream where I was trying to solve an epic quest, possibly with other people, and all the NPC ish people were no longer able to help us. We had to remove some bodies ?alive? from laying over other things protectively, and they were large and heavy and resisting, and we were down to the last one and I realized my cat was sleeping on my arm and I had to go to the bathroom. *sigh*
  
• Woke up again about 10am after about 6 hours of sleep, and realized I was actually awake. So I texted R that I wanted to go out Notary Public hunting today, to be able to mail off the form for TIAA to give me Otter's pension. There were more dreams, but I didn't retain them.
  
• Called TIAACREF to ask how long it will take to get the money once they get the forms. "5-7 business days." I'll believe it when it happens.
  
• Called the person who had called me about owing money to the doctor group that Otter had apparently been paying $200/month to that I had no clue about until she called me as another phone number available to bug. I got the payoff number from her, made that check out and stuffed it in an envelope to mail while we were out.
  
• Looked for the paperwork to turn the Merrill Edge account over, and couldn't find it. Sent the contact person an email owning my flakiness and asking for a new set of paperwork.
  
• Went to the bank we started up the account with in December, and asked if they had a notary. They did, the guy who did the paperwork to start the account, who was happy to see us and just did his notary thing.
  
• Went to the post office and sent the thing off for that pension fund certified mail, to get a return receipt.
  
• Came home and did bookkeeping reconciling banking and making sure my checkbook was up to date.
  
• Called the 401k plan company to find out how long it would take to get their money. After a bit of circling around with her trying to get her system to agree that I was me, ended up finding out that they have the two checks - one money for me, one money for the IRA I'm starting up, in the mail today. Wooo!
  
• Culled through the things that have accumulated under the cut, and I've basically finished all of them. I'll include them above the cut this time. Go me!
  
• Checked the mail, and nothing important was there. The most convenient branch of the bank that my mom's house account is with is closing, which is annoying, but no bills or anything else.
  
• Received a phone call from the lawyer in Florida who is dealing with my aunt's estate. We started talking and then he sounded like he couldn't hear me, and then hung up, and rejected my callback. WTF-ever.
  
• Went Upstairs To Play WoW!
  

To Do Soon:

• Arrange to actually get the roof fixed.
  
• call tax assessor office 9a-3p Barbara 9087692906 AFTER 12:30 WEDNESDAY as of 20180208
  
• Decide day of month I need to pay bills. (2 days before end of month is not enough time)
  
• Clear out envelope of Bills Since Death and sort into records, bills, whatever.
  
• Figure out what to do about cpap machines (company emailed back, saying donate or whatever) (in process)
  

Talk to R about:

Things I need:

• Container specifically for estate stuff. - Catbag?
  
• Container for my paper notes on phone calls.
  
• Container for medical records current year, bills and other
  
• Container for keeping records, current year (currently back half of step sorter that R got from Staples, and repurposed wire mesh phone stand)
  
• Container for medical records specifically for past years.
  
• Containers for keeping records for past years, to hold paid bills and record keeping.
  
• Container for tax info papers bundled by year for past years.
  
• Container for my frustration and sanity. (Research ongoing. Last marble was found in dice bag, perhaps something similar?)
  

The COBRA management company claims that Otter is listed as eligible for COBRA because he was terminated, not deceased. This is causing bloody hell with me trying to elect COBRA.

Furthermore, there will be a new COBRA management company as of next week. I had called them on Monday to ask if it made more sense for me to wait to elect COBRA until they are the company or if I should do it now and the person I spoke to seemed rather flustered and said I should definitely elect it before it got to them and let the system pull things over.

Current COBRA management company has '3-5 business days' for their resolution of issues.

*headdesk**headdesk**headdesk*

I did indeed get in contact with John, my FIL Finance Guy, who I guess is my finance guy now. He and his assistant "Who is the expert with paperwork" called back. The upshot is I have advice on how much to ask to take out before rollover of the 401k, and an account (with wells fargo, meh) to roll it over into. I have the 401k form filled out except for one page that I made massive mistakes on, which I can print out again as soon as I can get a printer set up that is functional and I can use. And then I can include the Death Cert in with it and send that out, yay. They recommended that I call the plan and find out how long it will take to get this money, and to get into the account, but the information I have doesn't indicate who to contact for information on the 401k, so I sent YET ANOTHER EMAIL to the long suffering HR person who is my email contact asking for that.

On to today!

Hopefully fully functional!

• Woke up around 7am
  
• Ate more of the yummy steak that R made for me 2 nights ago. Still more left! Hyooooge london broil steak...
  
• Realized that, while R had brought up my pillset for yesterday from where I'd left it down in the dining room, the *rest* of the pills were still down here from being refilled. So came down circa 9am to take/get more pills, and oh hai, be productive.
  
• Read email, which isn't bolded as being productive cause it was all silly stuff.
  
• Remembered to take pills, dammit.
  
• Read over the information/instruction booklets from TIAACREF and made a list of questions.
  
• Called the specific person given in the letter from TIAACREF, left message. Answer message indicates 48 hours before callback, requests good times. Left my name, Otter's name, associated # for the claim, my phone number, and pile of times through monday.
  
• Resisted urge to call basic number and make sure that that person is still the right one to call.
  
• Called SocSecDisability law office to see if lawyer had any reason to meet with me or anything. Apparently the person who I thought was going to be the lawyer isn't, her name is on things cause she's the lead lawyer in the partnership. I am SO FFUCKING TIRED of this switching things out crap! So I told the staff person that I was told by the SocSec person I saw when I talked to SocSec about Otter's death that they would be trying to expedite it. And anyway, after ranting a bit about yes, I'm low on cash, yes I'm likely to be having things shut off, yes I'm getting screwed by the cobra company and the life insurance company, and yes I think it might be possible to expedite this, that the actual lawyer who will actually be taking on my case wasn't in the office today, but he'll be in tomorrow afternoon and will see my message and hopefully call me to converse and stuff. *headdesk*
  
• Called tax assessor's office about trying to get Otter's name removed from the title/deed/whatever. I finally got a firm reply about when the assessor is in the office, and WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON is one of the times WOOT CALL WEDNESDAY AFTER 12:30!!!!!
  
• VICTORY!!!! The last Verizon bill in Otter's name was all credits. I called, and those credits should be applied to the new account as of tomorrow. I have a ticket number and everything!!!!!
  
• Called Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner Smith Sacco Vanzetti Reeves Taylor Smith Edge investment thingie (sorry, old in joke between me and a long lost boyfriend) and found out that no, I never did call them to tell them Angus was dead, and started that process, talking to Mark, who is a Relationship Consultant in their Life Services Department. I suppose that's better than Wells Fargo's Deceased Processing Unit.
  
• Emailed Mike the Lawyer about contacting again, as we've not been able to connect when he's tried to call me.
  
• Went on healthcare.gov to put in an application to apply, to at least see how it works. Apparently I'm eligible for medicaid, cause I have no income. quel surprise. They're gonna send me forms.
  
• Got email from Mike the Lawyer saying today is a good time to call. So I did.
  

( all the stuff for the future that's nearly the same in every post )

Wednesda - wednesday? - I had that lovely phone call with the life insurance company. The subsequent phone call with the mortgage company went even less well, as apparently they don't have any means within their system to account for the concept of 'partial payment'. All they do is hold the money until/unless they have enough to count as a payment. If this happens before their system instigates foreclosure, all well and good. Otherwise, they send the money back and it's in foreclosure. I had a small bout of hysterics, and have been hiding in bed (somewhat literally) ever since.

This morning I was actually awake at 7am ish. Took my pills, sat up poking at phone games till C came up to tell me it was 11am or so. I actually lay back down cause I was feeling tired-ish, and after a half hour gave up and came downstairs so I wouldn't be alone. I've done some useful things:

Detailed list so I feel better about it

• ate late lunch
  
• record bank activity into my ledger book so I can correlate more information
  
• wrote out checks for att, oil, allergy shot copay,
  
• asked R to take care of bullshit forms for the day
  
• Signed forms for life insurance, Otter's ashes to be returned (sooner than anticipated)
  
• recorded new bill/payment info into ledger
  
• Consulted with R regarding dinner, pulling a recipe from my childhood that was tagged interesting
  
• Fell asleep while R made dinner
  
• Eventually woke up and ate delicious dinner, discussed/evaluated with R, deemed a success by both. Even C went back for seconds.
  
• Gave up being downstairs and came upstairs.
  

Failed on:
currently trying to get the impetus for
filling out forms for 401k
filling out forms for TIAA pension

Now to see if I can manage to play wow today. If not, Diablo.

Today, I:

• Woke at 7:43; ate some leftover food in my room, took my 8am pills, went downstairs carrying pills, phone, and more leftover food from my room.
  
• Drained the teapot into a cup, and made fresh tea.
  
• Moved things around in the kitchen - not so much cleaning as arranging things to be cleaned.
  
• Nibbled on more leftover food, while neatening the table so I could use it. This involved frequent walking back and forth into the kitchen to throw handfuls of things away.
  
• Went through some of the piles, creating ... heaps. (note, this is a computer science data structure conceptual difference.)
  
• Called Life Insurance Company Again. Left another message, mentioning that this was the second call, when I had called before, and my phone number.
  
• Called the town tax assessors office to see about appointment to change things in to my name. Talked to (didn't get name). Assessor left early today, will be in 9a-3p next two days. Interesting convo, person who answered got a non-answer when she asked about same thing.
  
• Gave up on trying to use the second monitor for dinign room machine. Wrote a note to be taped to it, had C remove it to computer part storage in basement.
  
• Called PSEG, confirmed up to date.
  
• Called RUFCU branch manager Heather, left message about making an appointment to come down with paperwork about accounts. FIND L8 FORM!!!!! (note: Can be downloaded from http://www.sussex.nj.us/documents/surrogate/itl8.pdf )
  
• Called Bank America card to check that payment cleared. It did, next due March 1st (because the one I paid counted against the bill I got in January, that was due Feb 1st.) Doh. Called back cause I forgot to ask for the late fee to be removed, which they did. Only $27, but hey, every little bit counts.
  
• Called back PSEG to ask to remove late fee. CSR claimed they don't charge late fees on residential accounts. o.O I never noticed.
  
• Called Verizon, confirmed up to date, got late fees removed, and moved it all over into my name. (still need to fuss with setting up the account, but can't do that till it all finishes processing through the system, which apparently takes 48 hours wtf.) This was a relatively long call, with a very patient person named Michael, who figured out a way to go back and find something he had read to me at the start of changing things over, so that I could take notes and be sure to understand about pin and password adn hard reset and etc.
  
• Made the appointment with the RUFCU person to deal with those accounts, after a bit of phone tag where each barely missed picking up the phone for the other.
  
• Also, sometime after Noon, talked to R about the various containers needed, ref below.
  

After the long call to Verizon it was my 4pm pill time, so I ate some absolutely nummy veggie soup that R made. And then I lost all interest in continuing further, and so went back up to my room to do more pleasant activities. Which may end up being sleep.

I'll note that I went to bed almost immediately after going up to my room after dealing with DMV yesterday, so yeah, 12 freaking hours of sleep.

To Do Tomorrow 20180118

• call tax assessor office 9a-3p Barbara 9087692906
  
• Call mike the lawyer about the north bergen house deed.
  
• Find out if I called Meryll Lynch about angus gone, come to me?

Talk to R about:

Things I need:

• Container for current month bills before they are paid. R picked up a mail sorter thingie.
  
• Container for medical records current year, bills and other
  
• Container for paid bills, current year.
  
• Container for record keeping, current year
  
• Container for medical records specifically for past years.
  
• Containers for record-keeping for past years, to hold paid bills and record keeping.
  
• Container for tax info papers for current year
  
• Container for tax info papers bundled by year for past years.
  
• Container for my frustration and sanity.
  

I did nothing Saturday; woke up late, headache-adjacent. Had C put bengay on the aching parts, and a hotsock. (Similar to http://bedbuddy.net/ but not that brand.) After a few hours (after the bengay was soaked in and not a problem for adhesive) I had him put on a lidocaine patch. Neither of those helped significantly, but it's possible they kept it from being worse.

Woke up earlyish on Sunday, but instead of trying transdermal effects, took one of my hoarded Good Pain Meds. Got to the computer after a bit, poked around on WoW most of the day; ended up falling asleep ZONK in my chair at 6:45, while waiting for the folks who I play with to appear online at 7pm. *sigh* R woke me up for dinner at 7:40, I got on WoW, we played till 10:30 or so. Maybe later. I did wow things for a few hours more, and suddenly woke up, in my chair, covered iwth random pieces of clothing (apparently I was cold, but never woke up) at 7:45 am. Took meds, crawled into bed.

Woke up at 11:30 ish by C, checking if I wanted/needed anything. Asked for food, ate it, eventually decided that I didn't really want to do anything but I also didn't want to sit in my room alone. (which is what I did yesterday, never getting checked on till 4pm or so) Am downstairs.

Received email from life insurance! yay! No information on how much the payout is. An offer of having the money in an interest bearing account wiht the insurance company. No information on how much the interest is. I called the number for my consultant at 2pm, left a message. No response. The packet included a pamphlet about What Beneficiaries Need To Do After The Death Of A Loved One. The first chapter is "in the first two weeks". The second chapter is "weeks 3 and 4". the third chapter is "In hte next month." I'll note that Otter died on Dec 8, and the postmark on the envelope is January 10th. Fuck them.

Having agitated AGAIN for the kids to PLEASE look for the title of the car that was gotten in late November, more likely early December and thus on the day before Otter went into the hospital, I finally got some motion out of them. They found the envelope from the bank that held the car loan, with the old title (with the lien holder on it) and the various papers from the visit to DMV that acquired the new title and the handicapped placards for Otter. Unfortunately, the new title wasn't in it. Also, none of the receipts listed the date of the transaction. (wtf dmv?) So we STILL don't know, for sure, when it was done. *argh*

Aggravation, annoyance, and a chilly house. Wheee.

Jan 8 didn't happen. Every time I thought I was awake, I fell back asleep.

It's noon ish now. I've been awake since aout 5am, but I'm only now getting to the point of doing things.

Bleah.

Today, I

• Called paindoc and talked to some staff member, who said of course he'd be willing to fill out the dmv handicapped parking form. I didn't ask if she was sure, I hadn't even given my name, but I'm not going to argue.
  
• Called Doctorville about getting anti-hive shot, appointment for Jan 11
  
• Called Doctorville about lack of synthroid. Made appointment for bloodwork, and followup exam.
  
• Realized that I was flailing, decided I was hungry, C offered to make me food. Ate it.
  
• Printed out handicapped parking application (had R set up the printer, realized that attaching it to the dining room desktop involved crawling under the table, swapped to my laptop and printed it from there)
  
• Filled it out which involved realizing that it wants the signature of the registered vehicles' owner, and determining that by the time I hand them that piece of paper, I will be the registered vehicles' owner....
  
• Sent R off to drop it off at the doctor's office, which is what the staff person on the phone said to do.
  
• Processed all currently unopened mail - some with intake undated, some from 12/23. Sorted into bills to pay, things to process wrt death, things to look at soon, things to laugh at, trash, shred.
  
• Pulled out my ledgers from when I was paying bills regularly, created new pages and filled in current data.
  
• Wrote out checks and put in envelopes for everything but the mortgage (last day the 15th), the Home Equity Loan (I have weird mail that I need to talk to them about) and the cellphone bill, which they sent me mail that I got today saying they'll shut it off if not paid by the 11th, so I need to talk to them tomorrow about paying that in person somewhere.

Maybe this won't suck too much.

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.

Things Still To Do
