I was up a little earlier than usual for a Wednesday. I made Oats for breakfast then had a few phone calls to make. Had to set up a yearly routine medical checkup, which fell into January. I asked the scheduler if I would get in trouble if the appointment tumbled into next year. She said no, so I’m set.

The next call was longer and more frustrating. I got a bill from Excela Health for a balance from a COVID test they did in October. This should have been a covered procedure. I called Aetna and they said the authorization was done incorrectly so wouldn’t be covered – but it could be resubmitted. They also said my provider – Tammy, the helpful really nice one! – was out of network. The crazy thing is she just left Excela on November 4th. So in October she WOULD have been in network. So I called my Doctor’s office to have an authorization resubmitted but they haven’t called back yet.

My phone said that our area had a high wind warning and a tornado watch until 6:15pm. So that will expire in about 10 minutes. Then I’ll take the trash to the road. I didn’t want it to blow away.

I spent the rest of the day cleaning and scrubbing and dusting and doing laundry. I’ll take the garbage up, get something to eat, and that’s it for the day.

Oh, and BETH: I watched the two movies you suggested. I can see why you like the one in Ireland. The scenery was spectacular and the culture was so interesting! And Santa Tell Me was very funny. I knew that guy’s name had to be Nick!!!


My blessing today was being safe from the winds and rain.
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW November 21 is:
False Confession Day; Great American Smokeout; National Gingerbread Cookie Day; National Puzzle Day; National Rural Health Day; National Stuffing Day; Red Mitten Day; Use Less Stuff Day; World Hello Day; World Television Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Unicorn Day. Tomorrow: I don’t have any red mittens. Not sure I could cut too much of my stuff, but I’d say hello, and I’m sure I’ll be watching Television! And I do like stuffing… God bless…
