The above sign was posted through London (from what I recall from history books) throughout "The Blitz". It is something that we should keep in mind today, as the implied message is: "You have no control of when your number is up. So focus on the here and now, instead of worrying about the future." In an age where our media wants us to live in fear, so they can have more eyeballs and ears, it's hard to keep our focus on the present. But that's what I had to do with issues facing the co-op, and with issues affecting me as a transgender person.
Today started out with a meeting with a representative from our lender, as we look to deal with issues resulting from problems which occurred last year. We were prepared for the worst, but the meeting went better than expected. There is a good way to deal with our issue, and I expect that we'll finally see some movement on things soon.
Next up was a phone call to the lab testing company. Two weeks ago, my doctor ordered some blood tests, and I received a bill for them. After making the call, I found out that the doctor's office keeps supplying incorrect information to the lab, and that they keep billing the wrong insurance carrier. The billing problem has been fixed with the lab test company. But now, I have to hector the doctor's office to get things straight when they send things off to the lab test company, as the doctor's office keeps overwriting information I have corrected each time they order a lab test.
After taking care of morning activities, put on a dress (with leggings) and went on a Costco and Stew Leonard's shopping run. It was a good way to waste some time. But it was not a good way to stay frugal. At least, I got a year's supply of AA and AAA batteries out of the trip....
