susandennisFirst of all let me say how much I love my new table. I love having a table. When I first moved in and then for the Redo of 2005, I was adamant about NO Table! I did not want anyone entering the condo to harbor the delusion that they were going to get a meal. I don't cook for me, I sure as shit am not going to cook for anyone else. I'll make a reservation... I do make a fine reservation.
Anyway, I finally realized that 1) I enjoy eating at a table. My lap is great but not for dinner. and 2) I had no place to spread shit out for working on it - not sewing, not paperwork, not viewing plans and discussing. No place for two people to work on the very rare occasion that someone comes over for work. and 3) I wanted a table.
So I got one and it's a beaut. Exactly the right size but expandable. Convenient and I love it.
This morning, I got my medical paperwork out and spread it out all over my great table. I discovered what was missing and found it online (and discovered a few really odd things filed in the same folder - I tossed out an enormous amount of paperwork recently and am amused at what got saved and what didn't). I found all the missing bits online and then, methodically, when through all the bits line by line - matching the doctor bills with the insurance accountings. I found everything and reconciled it all.
Everything is caught up and makes sense. I owe the doctor $35. The HRA owes me $119 in addition to the $153 that the payroll person forgot to add to my paycheck last time. I have notes. With dates and a spreadsheet. whew.
Then I put everything away.
Another thing I love about my new setup. There is physically no space to leave anything out AND there is a place for everything in the cupboard. It's so nice.
I opened up the table wings an laid out everything for the window hanging. I evened up the chains and made enough hooks. I'm ready.
