Since we went to bed early last night, I woke
up early, and found Lydia was already up!
I asked her if she wanted to go to breakfast and she said yes. I showered, and got ready. Then she got ready and we left. Kevin’s is cash/check only so we went to
Walmart and got some shopping done and got some extra cash and headed for
breakfast. After we got back we both worked
on our own projects. She still had a few things to sort through to get her
luggage emptied and re-stored. I went out to the shop and worked on my new
bench grinder table. My 90-day mail
order prescriptions (from OptumRx, our new provider) have finally been received
so I sorted through them. Lydia has been
on the phone for 5-6 days back and forth with them and our doctor working on
all the issues with all of her mail order rx’s. She has received most of them
but a few have issues to be sorted out.
So kids, remember - dealing with drugs is no good! I also worked a bit on the dining room. Ok, the story can be told now – my plan while
she was gone was to get the dining room painted and surprise her! I had been working last week on the room,
first taping off the wood work and painting the gray on the walls, then
re-taping and painting the white on the wainscoting. My sister came over and helped both of the
days I was painting. Thanks, sis! I even decided not to post so I could keep it
quiet. Well, the plan worked! She saw
the room when we got home the other night and really liked it! So now, I can post and include some before
and after pics.

Since we now have the contractor pretty much
set, we now need to start figuring out the process for the HOA. We know there is no real group that meets or
anything and that everyone is very laid back, but we asked our neighbors what
we should expect to have to do. They
said just get the design docs to each of them to check out. It is merely a process to ensure that we are
not putting up an inferior structure or doing something so extravagant. Like we heard our past next-door neighbors
had built a paintball course for their friends.
Turns out it was a mess. They were shooting everything and everywhere and those paintballs
were coming next door and across the street and hitting our houses. Those neighbors sold to the folks there now
and it’s back to normal but you never know… So, I have asked Tim to get me the
paperwork before he goes to the city so we can take it around and get signed
oks. I also had to call my financial guy and arrange to transfer funding. I mentioned before they want half now and the
rest at completion. That actually works
out for us - we will pull half the money in 2017 and half in 2018 - which helps
out tax wise. The rest of the day we just puttered around the house and had an
early dinner. I set one of my bedroom clocks back so I’d know what time it
was. Tomorrow I’ll go around and do the
rest in the house.
