Forms so many forms

susandennisI got an email this morning from the new resident coordinator. She said she had some closing preparation binders for me and when was I going to be in the area? ??? Er How about now?
So I hopped in the car and headed east. Happily the sun was not out. That drive is one big glare when it is. So I got there easily and comfortably. Mary is really nice and has the most luxurious hair of anyone I've ever seen. And she had a boatload of papers.
Turns out the famous Kavier, whom I have yet to meet, is now out with an 'emergency appendectomy'. Has anyone ever had a non-emergency appendectomy? Aren't they all kind of emergencies?
Ok, I'm back. If I had not read the community website from front to back and back to front, I'd have been a little overwhelmed but turns out I knew most of what she told me. Every department - security, health, recreation, fitness, social, admin, food, etc. wants info about the new kid. So there area a million forms with duplicate info. Every single one wants to know my emergency contact. I think maybe it's possible I now have my brother's phone number memorized.
I did all that - the form filling - when I got home. While I was still there, she went over a bunch of stuff and answered my questions and gave me the forms to take home, fill out and bring back next Thursday.
Then I went to All The Best Pets to get CBD calming drops for the cats. I tried to get some yesterday but I went to the closet All The Best Pets and THE only person in the store - one single clerk, no customers - said they didn't have any - without even asking me a question. I am sure they did but he couldn't be bothered waiting on an actual customer. Today's guy was the opposite. So I got the goods and then came home.
When I got home I got a text from Frank asking if I was up for a little visit. YES!! Perfect. I thought that was a great idea and texted him back. And then sat down and filled out my brother's phone number a million times.
Also I realized I not only do not have a copy of my Long Term Care policy (which they want) I don't even know the name of the company or how to get a copy. I got the policy years ago through my financial advisor so I sent him an email asking who to ask. He replied really fast and said he'd have a copy sent to me. Yeah!
I gathered all the docs that I have in PDF and sent them to Mary. I still need my car registration and medicare and Humana cards to take for them to copy.
I gave permission for them to tell others if I was in the hospital or on vacation. Permission to enter my apartment when I'm not there (for packages/maintenance/cleaning). Permission to use my photograph. Details on my car. Details on how to get their monthly fee out of my bank every month and about a million other things. Whew.
But it's done. And ready. But, where's Frank? Well, turns out, I answered his text at the web page. Google recently did something new to their messages web page and now it updates itself every few minutes and it ATE my reply! And my window of op had slammed shut. But he said maybe Sunday we could touch base. No more web page texts for me!
Now it's 3:15 and I have not even watched the bake off yet. I think I'll refill my water and get my bake on.
