All's good

The cats decided that I should swim today. The Smalls started trying to wake me up. I protested. Then Biggie got in on the action and I gave up. And went to the pool. It was good.

Today is Costco day. I wrote the other day about screwing myself by thinking the insurance payout was based on when I paid for the drugs and not when I ordered them. New insurance year means new deductible. letmesaythis had the great suggestion to cancel the prescriptions and get them to refill with today's date. So I spent some time this morning figuring out the cost of my drugs for the entire year. I have to figure in the deductible and the bizarre medicare pricing scheme. Turns out... what price I pay today makes no diff in the grand 2020 scheme. It's going to cost me $985 in 2020. It's a pay now or pay later situation. Good to know anyway.

I also have a Costco shopping list. Not a terribly long list but at least I have it written down.

Also today I may have to go down and install the building manager's router. The HOA president has 'gifted' the association her now unused Eero routers which will be much better than the piece of crap d-link that's there now. I told Jathan, the building manager, to ping me whenever he's ready. Then the Nest cams will need to be reattached. It's all easy stuff but with him, nothing is easy and if there is anything to stumble over, it will be stumbled over. Not looking forward to this but I did volunteer so I'll do it with a smile whenever he is ready.

OR I could convince him to wait until next week and let my brother have the honors.... so tempting.

So I got hooked on this Australian show Crownies. It's a decade old but I really loved it. One season 22 episodes. I finished them last night. No more seasons of it BUT, there was a different series that I thought I had watched on Acorn - Janet King - that was really a continuation (Janet King was a major character in Crownies). Turns out I had NOT watched the show in Acorn and there are 5 seasons of 8 shows each!! Much the same cast, similar story lines, etc. to Crownies... It's like thinking there are no more and finding 40 new episodes! I'm probably hooked up now til baseball starts again.

The tuffet I made a couple of weeks ago was just too big for the couch, I thought. So I tossed it back in the sewing room thinking I'd deconstruct it and reuse the stuffing. But, before I could get to it, Biggie found it and made it his get away spot. When he's missing from in here in the living room I can check the cam and this is from last night...



I'm not sure about the new toy bin and the cat jury is still deliberating.



I have two new interesting question requests to answer before I get dressed and get the day started. I'm on it.

I'm not sure if it's an advantage or disadvantage (probably some of each) but one of the things about having pit bulls is that they're even lazier than I am, and they don't get pushy about getting me moving in the morning! I guess unlike with cats, they've gotta get outside to pee eventually...

[susandennis]

Yeah, you would think the cats would be fine sleeping in. They do not need to go out for anything. But... no... they like for all of us to be up and att'm.

If I really need to sleep, I'll get up and feed them, that distracts them and gives them something to do. And I can usually score a couple of hours of sleep.

If you haven't left for Costco yet, be advised that today is the first day of the new in-store promotions. Here, that means the place is a damned zoo. Here's hoping you have better luck, or enjoy crowds.

OMG Thank you!!! I did that once before - landed there on the first day of in-store promotions. The difference was you didn't warn me that time! I finally had to ask a cashier what the big fucking deal was. She explained about the first day of in-store to me. I forgot to remember it.

Thank you. I actually might hold off until tomorrow. In fact, I think I will.

So your work here is done :)

Could you find 40 more episodes of Corner Gas, please? :-)

[susandennis]

wouldn't that be a treat?!
