Getting Good at Getting Older

[days_unfolding]

I need to find time to call Comcast. It says that I owe over $500--which I shouldn't owe--but when I clicked payment, it said that I owe nothing. Huh?

I bought a book called Getting Good at Getting Older. It has a chapter about dealing with your elderly parents. I hope that it has good tips. I also got another book about dealing with older parents.

Now I'm leaning towards staying home tonight, calling Comcast, and doing my tidying up.

I made an appointment at the vet for the girls. I made a last-minute decision to use the vet that a colleague (who is a cat person) uses. And I contacted my old vet to send their medical records.

In class, we discussed another programming language, C, that I really liked. I want to learn more about it in my copious lack of spare time.

My large order from Aldi was delivered. The delivery guy was kind of a cool guy whom I think was gay?

I bought some cat food that has fish from mercury-tested fish. The girls seem to like it!

I spent some time couch shopping online. It looks like to get a couch that will last, I need to order from Pottery Barn or equivalent and spend a pot of money. I'd prefer a slipcovered couch because cats, and PB has one that looks fairly decent. (And yes, I looked at Overstock, Ikea and Ashley, and all the reviews say that they're nice to begin with but fall apart quickly. And there are a lot of sofas that I just plain don't like. And Mom doesn't want me to get a leather one because she's going to sleep on it.) Okay, I found a list online of furniture manufactures with quality furniture. I found a couch from Simplicity Furniture that I like. But if I get a slipcover, that's an extra $800.

I've got an appointment at an Xfinity store tomorrow to get my bill straightened out. I'm annoyed that I have to go there in person to fix the problem, but they don't seem to have customer service numbers anymore.

I think that I should just go to bed and get up early. I'm not accomplishing anything.

Honestly, going down to the xfinity store has almost always solved my issues. quite like that they have that. But definitely annoying that the problem exists at all to have to go there! I mean...500 bucks?? From where? For what?? seesh

That book looks interesting! I may have to get it myself.
