OK, it's been a while since I've been able to sleep in my own bed. And it feels strange! I guess that I'll have to make it into NYC with RQS and have her try out the Saatva mattress I liked so much. Given that RQS has fallen in love with her mattress from Bob's Discount Furniture. I figure that I will have a hard choice to make sometime soon - do I want a bed with a fixed base, or one with an adjustable base?
While I was away, I received a letter from a lawyer in Los Angeles that I am one of the beneficiaries of my uncle's trust. My brother is more upset at the terms of what hell get from it than I am. I guess it's because my uncle considered a close friend in LA that he's known for years to be as much a family member as his blood family is. Given that I have seen a list of the beneficiaries, I have a strong feeling that my uncle wanted to see most of his money go to causes that he cared about.
I'm glad that I did a load of laundry on the second to last day that we were on the ship. I only have a couple of days of dirty laundry from the cruise to add to my laundry basket for another load I have to put in to my co-op's washers/dryers before the end of the week. The rest of the laundry in my suitcases can be put back into my dresser drawers.
Bill paying is a pain in the neck, and I had a small stack to take care of. One of these bills was a credit card charge related to a cruise I'll be taking next year. (More details on that later.) I'm lucky that I have overpaid my co-op maintenance charges enough to skip one payment and still have a hefty surplus in my account. (The same went for my electric bill as well, but not to the same degree.) At this point, I am in good shape financially, even with an unexpected expense.
Depending on where I stand with my accounts, I'm thinking of surprising RQS with an expensive gift that we both can enjoy. (No, it's not a ring.) If I do so, it'll be closer to year end that I spring this on her. She's a good woman, and I want to show how much I appreciate her being in my life.
Just before I took my recent trip, I found out that my online pharmacy was unable to reach my doctor's office to renew my prescription. So I called the office this morning, and reached a receptionist who may not have bothered to see that the prescription is called in. I'll have to double check this tomorrow, as I'm running low on this medicine. Thinking about doctors, my CPAP machine is near the end of its life. Tomorrow, I have to call the sleep doctor to see whether I need another consult and another sleep test before I can get a new machine. (I also want to buy a second machine, just for travel. But I'll talk with the doctor about that first....) It's hard to believe that I got this machine 9 years ago!
As I said in the title of this post - I'm catching up on things....
