Could you imagine what these two people would have done with proper travel insurance? Neither of these two people expected to be diverted to Oz, when they expected to land in Kansas. Mind you, I'd rather be in Oz than in Kansas as it is more likely to find a "Rainbow Flag" in Oz, than in Kansas. 😀

I'm lucky that I thought to have my Alexa unit send me reminders today. RQS and I did not have travel insurance in effect for our upcoming Bermuda cruise, and we declined insurance on the California Coast cruise we just booked. So we figured that it was time to buy a yearly travel insurance policy than to pay for a policy each time we cruise or take a long distance trip. And both of us took care of this task today.
Now that I had taken care of this task, it was time to pay some bills. Luckily, I had enough money in the bank to cover my bills and some to spare. Given that I'll be taking a trip to DC and a California cruise before the end of Spring, I now have to think of moving money around to conveniently pay for my trips from a single bank account. (I hate draining savings accounts, but realize that I need to do so to afford some of the trips I want to take.)

Once done with bill paying, it was time to go out and try to get some Tuesday swag from T-Mobile. Unfortunately, they had run out of umbrellas, so I had to settle for a pair of gloves. Just as I was done with T-Mobile, the president of my co-op called, and we discussed a zoom meeting to be held with the owner of the management company the co-op uses.
Next, was a call to my brother. After my wife died, a girlfriend and I packed up place settings for 28 people. (My wife always wanted to have a gathering for her once large family, and bought way too many place settings.) I told my brother that I'd drop down to see him later in the week, and pick up a few place settings that I can eventually use in my apartment. These place settings (and other things like Gravy Bowls) may never get used. But I think I'd like the option of using some of the place settings that my late wife spent so much money to buy, while giving the rest to a charity that I know well..
Now if only I can find a way to get rid of the stuff in the downstairs storage compartment, I'd feel a little better about bringing these place settings home.
