Made the phone call, and the woman was extremely helpful! It's pretty convenient; Mom's coverages will continue across state lines. Since she's private pay for the NH now, no authorization is needed to move her.

I gave my address as an alternate for info; her card is out of date so a new one will be mailed. I got updated #s though to pass on to the new NH.

An ambulance ride and a hospital bed are covered with a bit of a cost share. They just need prior authorization, at least the non-emergency ambulance transfer would.

I've also prepped to teach this afternoon.

Next:
- back exercises
- JOG
- s2s and self care

Helian, how exciting to think about being a grandparent!

I've had Bible study
Signed paperwork for selling a lot my mother owns in Florida
Made birthday party plans for 101 in May, Memorial Day weekend
Heading to care center for a choir performance soon
Then back home for community supper
Then back to care center
All the while having to listen to her tell me she needs to come home and clean her house....

Pick up my footprints! (Thank you, RRose!) What does this mean specifically for me? 0ff the top of my head: PUPA things out of place before I go to bed, PUPA tools I have used to do the housework, wipe down kitchen surfaces when I've finished there. In other words, pick after myself!
Email A with my thoughts and answers to questions, and apologies for the meeting I can't attend.
Make list of outstanding jobs on the house and send to Handyman A. DF PM, who has been mentoring him through some difficult turns his life has taken, thinks he may be ready to start some jobs again. (If he doesn't reply in a reasonable time, or doesn't want to do anything, then I'll look for someone else, but I would prefer not to do that). Off the top of my head, clean gutters and the swan neck on the downpipes where "stuff" tends to accumulate, clean cladding back and front and downpipes, and short return wall as well. Replace the bit of mortar that's fallen out of the edge of the roof (I think its called the verge?) , fix dripping kitchen tap ( new washer?), sort out cabinet that wobbles, fix garage guttering that's loose at one end and bending down. More as I think of them? 😀 ( Waiting for a reply)
Take up and hem those thick winter curtains for the kitchen
Book eye test for me
Find picture hanging equipment for DH
Sort prints and put in albums (this will probably be an activity to do on wet days!) WIP
Think about setting up Guardianship for F,J and M - looked on Cats' Protection, I need their microchip numbers, approximate DOB, colour and markings and useful information about them. Bookmark link with local recommended solicitors (also ask DF CW?)
