Today ended up being the last day I was going to present as Marian for a while. So I made the most of it when Vicki mentioned that she wanted to talk about something serious, but not critical. Instead of laying around the apartment and doing nothing, I told Vicki that I'd meet her at 5 pm, and we could get a bite to eat.
Although I started getting ready around 3 pm, I was late getting out of the house, and barely made it to Lefteris Gyro on time to meet Vicki. (The food is healthy, plentiful, and reasonably priced. What more can you ask of a restaurant. When I arrived, Vicki was already waiting for me at the table. I almost didn't recognize Vicki at first, as she had her hair scrunched to the back of her head, exposing the area which alopecia has taken its toll. (I made sure NOT to say anything about this.) And then we got into our conversation.
I'm not going to say much about the conversation, save that it was related to health issues. I mentioned that I got a call from the sleep doctor's office today telling me that I have severe sleep apnea, that I'd be getting a new CPAP machine and put on a regular schedule of new supplies. YAY! The only problem is that it will take 2 weeks to get approved by my insurance, and another 2 weeks before it arrives. AARGH! The way things are going, it will arrive when I'm away on another trip.
On my way home, I called RQS, and found that she was having trouble with printing a luggage tag for our upcoming cruise. Since I couldn't solve the problem from a moving car, I suggested that she contact MSC to figure out what was wrong - and she now has a luggage tag for her suitcase. Next, I stopped at the bank to deposit a check, then onward to home.
Arriving at my house, I met a new resident - a nice woman raising a child on her own. Although I don't want to get her in trouble, I figured that I should ask our managing agent for information to find out if she's an approved resident. Then, it was doing the last load of laundry before my trip.
I can't wait to get on the ship!
