The check arrived from the insurance company and is on its way to the mortgage company for their endorsement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The P&S is ready for signature. We got word that the carpeting will be installed on Friday. The painter has been hard at work; Peter texted “the (stairway) red is gone.” Looks like we’ll be done with updates some time next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Had a mammogram yesterday, been almost two years. Glad it’s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bought Ron his promised New Year’s Day cigar, but he won’t smoke it until it’s warm enough to go outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Starting to think about how much we’ll need to pay in capital gains tax when we sell Edgewater. We might have to sell Dixon and leave the Cape. Oh, tragedy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rented “Judy” from RedBox; horrible, I couldn’t finish it. Watched more episodes of “Trial and Retribution”. Borrowed “Deliverance” from the library. Anything to get my mind off finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Made soup from a package that Ron bought a while ago. Made pudding in the microwave. Boiled over, but still good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ron and I donated at Falmouth Hospital. Fought with him about lack of trust and disrespect; instead of walking with me, he had to solicit attention by asking for directions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then after taking the long way home to get beer at Kenyon’s, complained when I wanted to return the Redbox film to Roche because he “had” to get to Best Buy “before dark” (it was not even 3 pm) for a DVD reader\/writer. He’d purchased a reader online which “doesn’t work”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turns out, the new reader “doesn’t work” either. I stopped listening to his complaining when he started babbling about how Apple was to blame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We talked about selling Dixon, especially if we’re stuck with a huge capital gains tax this year. I vote for the Pacific Northwest, he’d probably prefer the Southwest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think we’d both be better off by ourselves if we could afford it. I’ll never be Melody and he’ll never grow up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
