Never a dull moment here.
Yesterday, I began cleaning out my rock tumblers. One is down for repairs, and I discovered that a second one had developed a leak in the seal. Both machines have had a few modifications over the past year. They were poorly designed and used cheap parts, so I upgraded them, and things seemed fine. Now this.
I have enough rocks polished that I could take these two machines and dump them into the "spare parts" box and just be done polishing until next year. Then shift my focus to using the rocks I have to start making jewelry for the winter.
Then this morning I received a text message to confirm my appointment on Nov. 5 at 10:00 am. I have a surgical consult at the Black Hills Eye Institute to see about repairing the scar tissue under my eyes from my FFS. However, the text message gave the wrong address for the appointment. So I called the VA and it is two separate appointments scheduled for the same day and time.
The reminder was for a new appointment for the re-evaluation of my VA claim for the back injury I suffered while in the service. It's a different evaluation of my spine, not my eyes. After an hour on the phone with scheduling we got that moved up to Halloween morning at 10:00.
I was worried they would push the appointment out to Nov. 12th when I have a Dermatology appointment, or Nov. 13th when I have a colonoscopy scheduled. Then on Nov. 14th, I am meeting with the Communications rep with the corporate office that owns my apartment building. They want to do video interviews with residents to discuss how we like this new building, etc. I guess they are too busy to fly out here from Minnesota, so they will just watch us on TV.
