Yesterday, we had a visit with a neurologist in Hyannis who talked nonstop about politics and his opinion of the state of the union. He’s one of the very few people of Irish background in my acquaintance who has read and mastered Ulysses.

Although some of his opinions are unnerving, I appreciated his “cuckoo” comment.

He was encouraging about Ron; we are all dealing with the consequences of age (Ability, Balance, Cognitive, Diseases, Emotion), normal and not exceptional.

I closed the deal on Henderson and we will soon be residents, as the realtor said not only of Berkshire County but of Williamstown.

Having heard nothing from the insurance agency I contacted two days ago, I took out a homeowners policy with an online company, Lemonade.

Ron mowed the whole yard yesterday afternoon and did his usual fine job.

The Williamsburg sellers made an offer in lieu of the repairs I requested. I gave it a lot of thought and counteroffered.

I like the house and yard, love the location and don’t want another 7 hour round trip to see properties.

Waiting for an estimate from the roofer. I texted him with a question about siding.

Spoke with a gent about renting his house for the month of December.

Lizzie was up at 4.

Ordered shears to cut Lizzie’s hair.

No taxes on up to $500,000 profit on sale of 20 Dixon with married joint return tax status.

Holmes shut off the irrigation system.

I’m working on sorting and packing my basement goods.

Took Ron out last night for Chinese food buffet. I liked the vegetables, spring rolls and fresh fruit.

Got the oil changed at Cormier’s. Probably the last visit before we move, nice goodbye from Buddy.

Todd was over early to install smoke/CO detectors. We had an old plug-in CO detector that wasn’t working so it had to be removed to stop the beeping, leaving the junction box exposed. I stopped at an electric supply store and the great people there sold me a plate to cover the junction box. Ron installed it, neat solution.

Picked up bagels for Ron and hamburger for Lizzie, prescription for me, dropped off a payment to Cape Cod Coop and got advice on when to get the payoff amount.

I sent Jesse a list of to-do items from the home inspector’s report.

Was in touch with a couple of homeowners about a short term rental for the month of December.

Realized today that I never took Ron’s car off the insurance policy. I’d assumed GEICO would do that as part of their claims administration, but Nay. They informed me that I’d need to cancel his registration, which I was able to do thanks to having his license plate info on the police report.

We had a good meeting with the attorney to sign the last papers for the Dixon Drive sale.
