Glad y'all are skipping the "someone else fucking up their back surgery" step!

Glad y'all are skipping the "someone else fucking up their back surgery" step!

I'm all about the efficiency.

Timelies all!

I have taken today, tomorrow and Thursday off so I can use some of my extra leave. Ran a few errands today, and I have an appointment for a pedicure tomorrow.(Gary gave me a spafinder gift card for Valentine's Day, so I'm using it.)

Good luck, Teppy, with pharma wrangling (I know this pain) and Tim's surgery.

I have worked diligently on my to-do list today which included:

Buy a new dishwasher and schedule delivery
Ping contractor about fixing dryer
Buy airplane tix for next LA trip
Call Bank to make sure we don't get flagged for all this LA trip biz AND raise our credit limit for the day because See Above re: dishwasher and plane tickets

I also downloaded all my flight and hotel receipts to forward to the Big Pharma contact covering our expenses.

Still need to send that off, and pay off an outstanding bill.

Tomorrow's to-do list:

Have Fancy Brunch with my friend Jes
Skincare appointment
Matilda's Second Baseball game this season

I am a fan of tomorrow’s list. And impressed by today’s to-done list!

Also Gary’s top notch Valentining.

Sheryl's pedicure plan has inspired me to get a pedicure in the next few days because Easter is this weekend and it's going to be 70-something and I don't want to subject the family to my winter-scary feet in sandals.

It's time to shed the feral ways of winter.

I’m contacting a realtor today because while I’d hoped we’d have another year it’s clear we need to be out of my mother’s house as of June 1. Wish me luck because we are not fully financially prepared (house in Ohio is rented so we can’t sell it) and the housing market here is a disaster. (We’d rent, but there are literally 0 rental listings in this town that are not Airbnb. A 780 square foot house on a tiny lot on the edge of a marsh just went under contract in 4 days as a tear down for $870k. That kind of real estate market.)

Real estate~ma, flea.

Such busy folks! I hope all the medical stuff works out as well as possible.

I just found out that my CPA died. She was probably around 80, but didn’t look it. A lovely lady who I first met during my first “real” job back in the 90s. We were only professional acquaintances, but after 30+ years it’s still sad making. And I’m sure her family is missing her. My doctor of ~30 years retired (gotta get a new one) and I believe my dentist did, too. Whatever else is keeping me in NC, a long-term network of professionals is not it.

Real estate ~ma, flea. Easier said than done in so many places. Ugh.
