    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?)

Spent 27 minutes on hold, in order to speak to a representative, in order to cancel the account with the trash pickup people who pissed me off. However, apparently the call answering person needs to talk to Someone Else (tm) in order to do so. *They* get off work at 7pm, but she was on hold to them from 6:50 onward, and finally came back to me at 7:05.

So NOW I'm going to get called back tomorrow at my convenience (it's never fucking convenient, but I picked 1pm cause I'm most often awake then these days) in order to cancel the account.

Fuckin' a.

Oh, and I also went to the endocrinologist. My blood sugar is up, A1c at 9.6 (quel surprise); my free t4 is 1.03, in range; TSH (reflex to FT4) is 7.49; my cholesterol overall is high, but it's the good cholesterol that is high, and the bad stuff is low, and it's borderline. I have another appointment in 3 months.

And the drugstore insists that I have insurance, and only charged me about 1/4 the full price for the expensive drugs. Whee?

Otherwise, the fucking knot in my shoulder is still there, and I've been sleeping shitty because of it. But that means I remembered a dream: we were going to a convention, and driving past where Einstein lived, which was notable because I'd found a game that he designed, so I decided to stop at his address and see if he would speak to randoms. The address was an apartment building, 3-4 stories tall, and I was let in, and invited up. He took my compliments and praise for the game delightedly,, speaking to me over his shoulder from where he sat on a couch watching TV. When he got up, i saw he was only wearing underwear, and he led me across the hall to another apartment, from which I got the impression that he leased/owned/whatever something gave him access to all the apartments. In this other apartment he got out a development copy of the game to give to me as a gift, and then gave me a kiss from an old man to a young girl (no, i wasn't any younger than I usually am) in thanks, and went back to teh tv. On the way out, I couldn't find my friends in the car waiting for me, so I went back in, and got lost, adn started running away from Ingress players who were trying to catch me for some reason, and managed to finally exit the building 3 blocks away, and was cautiously making my way around the building to find the door I'd gone in by, and then I woke up.
