friday

The only thing I did today was go to Publix for more coffee.
The rest of the day was spent spinning around decisions I do not feel confident about making.
The good news today is that Medicare is now reviewing my claim on Novant Health, so I hope that will be resolved one way or another soon.
I need a job or purpose but not another retail job that takes my life away.

Thursday

Yesterday was spent with Karen at BCBS office talking about medicare plans and at the Merry Merry Market at Revolution Mill in Greensboro. We had pizza for lunch.

We went to an art opening at the Congdon Yards Gallery tonight. MonsterMustDie was especially intrigued by a large assemblage sculpture in the photos for the art exhibit.
Later, we had a Zoom visit with Brian and Laura. We screen shared photos of the art show and photos from a couple of weeks ago of Little Sally, the troll sculpture by Thomas Dambo. John had his show-and-tell with the assemblages he is working on.

Another stiff morning, better after stretches but those stretches were difficult.
Called Kim this morning because she is retired now, like me, and was home. She once again encouraged me to find a nearby park and go walking today. I didn't decide on a park to walk around but I did go out for a while, just to get out of the house.

Wondering what I can accomplish today.
Whanged my right knee on the cruel bed in the master bedroom, as I usually do, rounding a corner. That bed never fails to put a bruise on me each week. I hate it and yet MonsterMustDie, who was the one who chose it when we moved here, sleeps in my old bed from my condo in Atlanta that I still love.

sunday

We went to Nomad Wine for the food truck in the afternoon. I had only $8.00 (thought I had more) so I just had one chicken empanada. MonsterMustDie had a regular beer while I ate my single empanada and enjoyed old issues of Bon Appetite that on the coffee table. They still have a lot of BuzziSpace furniture there, which MonsterMustDie always points out.
I had leftover Trader Joe's brussel sprouts and rice that turned out to be too disgusting to eat, so I threw out most of it. Wasn't that hungry tonight anyway. Everyone has their Christmas lights up now and trees up inside their homes.
Downtown High Point is installing a lot of lights, including a large round structure, inside the tiny stadium.

I felt especially stiff while doing exercises in the evening before bed.

Saturday

Spent the morning shopping with MonsterMustDie.
We got provisions at the Curb Farmers Market, Deep Roots Market, Harris Teeter, and Ace Hardware.

After we got home and unpacked, I walked to the holiday market at a nearby church, where I saw lots of very cute things, many of which I would have liked to buy but it just was not fun shopping alone.

I need trustworthy advice on my Medicare account but I can't find it here.
I do not want Karen talking me into changing what seems to be working for me at this moment. I really want to stay the same this year but I am willing to sit with her on Wednesday to listen to the BlueCross-BlueShield sales pitch and explaination.
As of last night, mid-anxiety attack, I decided I am not changing this year.

Wednesday

City services resumed today after taking Veteran's Day off on Tuesday.

MonsterMustDie and I went shopping in Ashboro this afternoon. I tried to talk him into going to thrift shops to look for cheaper materials for his assemblage sculptures that he is making now but he could not be convinced to go anywhere else.

We're heading into the end of unseasonably warm days and into the chilly frosty Autumn this weekend.
MonsterMustDie and I went on a brief trip to Revolution Mill to check out what shops and art might be there.
