I'm finally home and ready for bed. What a day...
I started off with my weekly 'commute' to see my electrolysis person for a two hour visit. Socializing and zappage occurred. Then, back home, clean up a bit, and off to the concierge to pay the move-in fee. They'll pad the elevator and whatnot for my furniture delivery in the morning. Then off to the bank, to fix up some issues with a new checking account. All better now. To the drugstore, for some odds and ends, then a late lunch at Panera, for my fave spicy salad and a tea, then to another shop to get shelf liner for the kitchen. All this was just walking from the apartment, by the way. Nice location. Finally off to a big box store for more kitchen stuff. I had to drive. I'm not walking across town with a stepstool, A/C filter, and a toaster under my arms.
Then back to the apartment. A huge parcel was waiting for me from the cable company, along with bank mail delivering my checking card. The huge box held a smaller box, which in turn held a very small set-top box. Good grief.
I got the Cable TV and internet running, only took two activations attempts! Then I got dinner, loaded a huge number of old everyday dishes that had been in storage into the dishwasher ("Desert Rose" Franciscan dinnerware, 8-12 place settings depending on the piece, wonderful old stuff. Thanks, Mom!), and started lining shelves.
The radio group has a regular Monday night net, so I put a directional antenna on a portable stand, aimed it at the old town, and participated.
I spent some time texting with my daughter. She's pretty down, not surprising, but will be seeing her therapist tomorrow. My wife spent the day with friends, so she had some support.
Now it's midnight, and i'm tired. Maybe I'll sleep tonight.
