Finally!

As planned, after breakfast I called Met Life, told my tale of woe to a rep. She conferenced us with the body shop. Long story short, the person at the front desk found my license plate in 5 minutes. She said my rep is no longer working there. I drove up there and got it.  No mean feat because the 4-lane street they are on was down to only the left lane due to re-paving the whole thing. Had to dodge a lot of traffic barrels.

Home, called Alfonso, told him the work I wanted done, he said he will call 1/2 hour before he got to Tropicana Palms, but he never made it. No rush, this is just for an estimate:
  
1. Remove both steel frame screen doors
2. Install sliding screen doors
3. Remove carport steps and replace with narrow 2-sided steps
4. Install keypad lock on carport door
5. Fix front door to close easily. Replace it if necessary.
6. Plant aloe from Sandy (next door) in my front yard

Did some searching, found a plant holder at Walmart which can hold the 4 small aloe plants. Meanwhile I'll use barstools.

Spent a lot of time installing apps on the Lenovo tablet. The first file transfer choked it with all my music files, which I don't need on there. Factory reset, load the apps one by one.

Port Salud on crackers for lunch.

Realized I had not installed the Kindle app on the tablet. That app was the original reason I have a tablet. Rectified that.

Spook surprised me and curled up on the bed - I had the slats open on the windows and she worked on her tan. Camo cat:


Watched Masked Singer. "Seahorse" is a woman with great hips and legs and the way she sang My Heart Will Go On was spectacular. Effortless, diaphragm control, a 4-octave range without gaps. Beautiful voice. I would be surprised to see Celine Dione under that costume,  the voice is younger and more controlled. Like a flute. Too tall to be Kristin Chenoweth. The non-singer who was unmasked is an NFL QB apparently.

Delivered was a pair of box cutters, and a packet of blades so I was able to reload my go-to cutter. Great quality on the new ones.

Salad and the other half of the pot thai for dinner. Watched more of the animated Star Trek parody on Amazon Prime, Lower Decks. Continues to be too chatty, too loud, too violent and not well written.

Linda from Ghana chimed in at about 3 pm, and kept me chatting till after 7. She hooked up her friend's camera and after not being able to see her on Hangouts, we tried Skype and I got to see her showing off her new bed, wearing a yellow nightie. Very weak audio, I have no idea what she sounds like. We talked a little politics. She isn't a US citizen, she votes in Ghana.  They have direct elections for pres/vp with 9 parties. Parliament is only one house.
 
Talked too long to make it onto the RPCV Zoom meeting. Streamed for an  hour.

Coffee ice cream with walnuts for dessert.

Spook camped out on the fleece in Heidi's room while Heidi hid in the bathroom. Heidi followed me back to her room when the coast was clear.

Plans for tomorrow:
Hopefully Alfonso will come over
Put the small aloe into the pots and bring them inside.
Watch the final episode of Lower Decks
TNF on Tivo

The earlier I get up the slower the day seems

Up at 8:30. Ate the last banana. Will need to go shopping. CVS is still not filling the last prescription. Thought I had a UTI but it was just asparagus in the Thai food.

Cheese, baloney on croissant for lunch.

Finished the last Buddy ice cream.

Transferred the 4 small aloe plants into pots/saucers and found places for them in the house.

Set up the selfie stand and 10-second delay on the phone cam and shot some NSW pix for Linda in Ghana.

Watched PTI x 2, the last episode of Lower Decks and the final Just Scene Below Deck Med

Turned off Mobile Data on the Lenovo, it should stop bothering me about a SIM card now.

Linda showed up after 6 pm, very late for her, we chatted for an hour. She liked the photos and will take some of herself tomorrow.

Streamed for an hour+. Banned a troll who showed up as I was leaving.

Heidi stayed in her room all day, Spook was often on the bath mat in there or the fleece blanket. But night time saw Heidi in my room. I was almost able to calm her when Spook came close.

Salad and Filipino fried chicken for dinner. Heated up the corn, but it smelled like it had turned. Mint chip ice cream and the last of one small whipped cream can. There's another.

Looking for alternative pharmacy again. Costco doesn't work with my insurance. Maybe sign up for Walmart delivery.

Broke a tumbler full of cola and ice. Swiffer is not a mop. The mop which they left behind is also not a mop. I have plenty of tumblers, so no big deal.

Plans for tomorrow:
Albertson's surgical strike shopping. Maybe at the big one off Nellis.
Alfonso hasn't called back.
Medicare research
