Short addition to Monday:
I forgot to relate two quick things about the new house. As we're standing out in front talking, (about when the blue heron flew over), Sue said that sometimes there are cattle drives down the street right in front of the house! Is that awesome, or what! Then, she said one time they were outside, and this cowboy rides up on his horse, along with a packhorse and a dog. He says, "Howdy partner." Well, maybe he didn't say exactly that, but I'm sure he meant to. Then he said, "I just rode up from Arizona. Is there any work around here?" Is that cool?! Mancos is ranch country!
I'm too tired to go on the senior hike today. I thought I would still go to swing dancing lessons this evening, but I was too tired for that, also. I decide to work on some bureaucracy. I've been here almost six months now, so I can finally change my health insurance from Maine to Colorado. I call AARP, and get all the information, and the person informs me to fill out the application online, but their computers are down right now.
I try periodically for the next couple hours with no luck. Then, I have to call back to get my membership number, because the one they gave me earlier was wrong. I finally get to the screen to fill out the application, and it tells me that it doesn't accept my browser, and to call customer service. I call customer service, and the only other choice is to wait for them to mail me the packet! Basically, they are excluding most Apple computers. Bummer. I thought I could do it online, but they said because of privacy issues, they can't do that, either.
Rosemary isn't home, so I can't borrow her computer, so I drive into town to go to the library. What a crazy process this has been!
I speak to the Alaska landlord today. They will send me a lease on the house. I can hardly wait till it's signed, and this is definite!
Thursday
I told someone a few years ago that the first snow of the year, and the last snow of the year always made me cry. Well, I've been crying a lot, because it keeps snowing, and I keep thinking it's the last snow. I did my walk this morning, with beautiful, soft snow falling.
