Log
10:00 AM: I’m up.
11:00 AM: Talked with the admissions director at Mom’s nursing home, to request that she issue us a “pay down” or “private pay” bill for all services Mom incurred at the home from the time of her admission there, until early May, when we were advised to apply for MA for her.
01:30 PM: Determined the correct form(s) to fill out to apply for VA survivors benefits for Mom. Not that she’ll be elligible for any. But this is a precondition to meet before we can apply for MA benefits for her.
02:05 PM: Applied for a replacement Medicare card for Mom. They’ll need this to process her application for MA.
02:30 PM: Nap time. Back later.
05:45 PM: I’m awake again.
06:25 PM: You’ve heard of, “green with envy?” Well, I like my Sheetz turkey subs to be GREEN with pesto! I just love that abundant basil flavor that makes those $4 foot-longs every bit as satisfying as the $8s and $10s. They must OOZE green; else they’re just another cheap sub sandwich.
06:40 PM: Upgraded the laptops from Vista SP2 to Windows 7 SP1. No problems. In fact, noted was significant performance improvement; particularly during searches in my music library. Queries that took a minute before now give sub-second results. I guess at least SOME of that down-hype about Vista was true after all. So no more Vista in this shop. Vista it seems, earned at least in part, its bad reputation.
09:00 PM: Watched the Panama Deception movie on the DVD player.
10:00 PM: Watched today’s episode of The Young and the Restless via the DVR.
10:30 PM: Talked with [Emmy]. Had to cut the conversation short as my throat gave out; too sore for protracted discussion.
12:05 AM: Reviewed the daily traffic stats from yesterday for my blogs. The monthly keyword hit count moved higher again this time, and now stands at 1649; up from 1628 yesterday. The new record high is now 1649 key phrases therefore. The next goal: 2000.
12:15 AM: Bed time. More tomorrow. Good night.
