10/29/2020: So up about 5
AM, prayers, Bible. Much worrying over stuff to little avail. At 9 AM made
ramen and eggs. Got Medicaid set up at 10 AM without any trouble. At noon Andy
brought in a letter and it was my Medicaid card. Ramen for lunch. Worry worry
worry about debit card. At 1:30 PM help Kameron with his measuring. At 4 PM
made supper (chili-corn-pasta). At 7 PM prayed rosary and 7:30 PM went in to
clean up and talked to Susan and she convinced me to call Amy and by 8:30 PM the
card was set up. Now I just need to go and use it. Then I need to talk to SSI
about where to send my payments.
10/30/2020: Up about 6:30
AM, prayers, Bible. Left house about 7:50 AM and went to Dollar Genral to inaugurate debit
card. Got about $10 worth of stuff, back at 9 AM. Made ramen and eggs. At 10 AM
called SS, found that I had apparently already had requested an express card to
receive my payments to. Went out to the mail and there it was, along with a
check for November. So that worry is over, except that I might want to transfer
that to the RBFCU. But that is a concern for another month. Spent the rest of
the day with it off my mind, watching ‘Sleepy Hollow’, reading Kipling, playing
DQ8. At 2:30 PM I started frying taters, at 4 PM made fish and fed pets, at 5
PM had supper and continued frying taters until almost 7 PM. Kameron came out,
and we finished watching ‘Hellboy’ until almost 9 PM. Went in, washed up, got a
jug of water, prayed rosary, and hit the hay.
10/31/2020: Halloween, and
the last day of October. And what a month it has been. It seems to have both
dragged along and flown by, full of incident and anxious waiting between
incidents, and small rejoicings.
Up about 6:20 AM. Prayers
and Bible. Caught up diary, morning straightening. Coldish. I think I’ll take a
shower before dressing and breakfast.
And so I did, having ramen
for breakfast. Naught much in the forenoon, but a little after 12 I went in and
got a pot and a can-opener and made a Taste of Thanksgiving for lunch. Cleaned
up the back yard a bit at the same time Andy leaf-blew around the pool. At 4 PM
they brought me four corndogs (it was 50 cent corn dog day at Sonic). At 5 PM I
watched the Great Pumpkin DVD. Rosary about 7 PM and sent Kris Jerome
“Halloween in Gothenberg” as a holiday remembrance. It’s now 7:44 PM, and
something (not a cat) is screeching something awful on the left-hand side (not
over the stream) and making the dogs barky. Posted some of ‘What Happened’ on
NOT.
E-mail to John earlier: So
Halloween 2020 is upon us, with a full moon (I think the first full moon on
Halloween since the 40's), cool weather, and on a Saturday, all of which should
make a perfect storm for the holiday, if it weren't for this dashed plague! AND
no Great Pumpkin on network television for the first time in decades?
What is the world coming to ...? Not that it matters to me, since I have
my own DVD, and am way past trick-or-treating. But still. There is a fitness
and a long-standing custom to these things.
To which he replied: For
certain! This should have been a Halloween for the books! As it is, it is a sad
contrast to a better time. On a short break, working tomorrow too, so a long
slog to go until I can feel very optimistic about life a little. Have a
good Halloween, or the best one possible: we are still alive and kicking, eh?
Bed about 9 PM.
