I heard Geoff come upstairs at about 7am, he started the coffee and fed Toffee. She came into the guest room with me, and waited patiently for me to get up and let her outside. She's a world of difference from the other dog. So patient.
At about 7:30 I figured it was important to get out of bed because I had to pee. I've made a little promise to myself to get up and not get back into bed if it is after 7am. Pledge to me kept.
Doug had to get up by 8 because he took today off to do more errands and work on things for his Aunt. He had a 9am meeting at the local bank branch that has her mortgage. He is trying to get a direct deposit set up for her to pay them, and see if they'll pull a credit report for her. Thankfully she doesn't do business with the Big Bank that we refuse to ever deal with. But this is an equally shady ass giant bank and he's not happy about talking to them. As I expected, he came back with nothing solved and a lot of anger and frustration over this. He has to get his Aunt and make an appointment in person with her to get what he needs set up. His power of attorney paperwork was fine at the local credit union for getting everything he needed from them, but he is literally trying to make it so her mortgage gets paid and this. fucking. bank.
So he had to express his frustration loudly, repeatedly, and that's okay. I get it. I hear him. He needs to take her in person to do some things, which he should be able to get done as the power of attorney but some banks are like 'hell yeah, we'll help you,' and other banks are like 'fuck you, you're not the customer.' So he was mad that he has to take yet another day to do things.
I asked him if he was going to go get her today, but he had a doctor's appointment at 3pm and no. Not driving to Virginia to help her today.
Geoff cheffed up some dinner. He likes to find these recipes in a braising meat cookbook, It was pretty good, and sometimes I have to supervise but tonight he nailed it. Next time, thicker pork chops would be a good idea.
Doug took a nap after dinner and I took myself for a walk. Didn't intend to do a whole half hour but it happened, Down the street from us there is a kid who is learning the bagpipes. Which I'm sure many people would read that and cringe, but, I'm all for it. Sometimes he is out practicing in the front yard while his dad does the gardening.
I walked past and cheered and told him he is doing GREAT! I'm sure this is so hard but keep it up! The dad had to laugh and smile.
A cat came running down the sidewalk to see me, and I asked if it was their cat. He said no, and pointed to the neighbors. The neighbors also have a giant Rottweiler named Max, so I said "oh! This is Max's cat." And I stopped to pat it. It walked up the block with me, very sociable, very sweet.
I was incredibly relieved I didn't have Toffee with me. Not easy walking her around cats. She's horrible. So I got some cat time and it brought me joy.
