Monday, January 9, 2023 – Doctor’s Appointment, Got Materials for Furniture Change

Hey Sweetie,
Had made a doctor’s appointment for this afternoon, so I spent the morning on the computer trying to find a new/used recliner. I’ve definitely decided to make a dog bed/storage compartment like we did in the Open Range, can’t seen any real reason to have two recliners anymore, First, though I went to my doctor’s office for my annual exam, only to discover that my insurance expired on Dec. 31 (even though I’m eligible until March 31), because the premium didn’t get paid. Didn’t get a bill, and they don’t have an autopay, so evidently I missed it. Discovered it was cheaper just to pay for the doctor’s visit than pay the premium with the late fee, so that’s what I did for now. Frankly, I’m sick and tired of paying through the nose for insurance I never use, so I’m thinking about just forgoing it until I qualify for Medicare in eight months time. I can buy a lot of health care for the cost of health insurance, and I’m in pretty darned good health, so what’s the point? Anyway, it was a frustrating day at the doctor’s office, then I went shopping at Home Depot where I picked up most of the stuff I need to create the storage box/dog bed in the spot where your recliner used to be. Hoping to build that tomorrow. Got everything but the carpet for the top, thought I’d check out a few carpet stores for remnants before I spent a bunch on more carpet than I needed. Then a quick trip to Walmart for a few essentials, got back to camp at dusk, settled down for the evening, finished off the Traveler series (so sorry they quit after three seasons, I really like it!), now I’m ready for shower and bed! Good night, babe! Love you!
