Bored Bored

After a busy holiday I am pretty lax in completing my chores. Just yesterday I cleaned the guest room. That became my dropping ground for packages, quilts, pillows, and anything else I needed to get to (someday).
So now it is clean and show ready. We have watched movies, however I fell asleep last night in front of the television. I was wiped out, but the movie looked so good. Now I will never know.
For Christmas Ken and Kris got us a net-flix certificate. We love it. We have watched the "Bucket List", We both cried and laughed. Laughed and cried.
I also rented a movie from 1946. "The best days of our Lives". It too was really good. For someone our age. I saw the old sale signs, cars of that day ETC. This movie dealt with three guys that returned from WW2. It was pretty enlightening. You know guys go off to war but how do they adjust after seeing so much death and losing limbs. In this movie, one Sailor was a War Vet who lost both hands in the bombing of Pearl Harbor. He was given an honorary Oscar for his role in this movie. I would have watched it just to see how he adapted to the use of hooks. NO this was not Hollywood play acting, He really did lose his hands, they were burned off.
So that was our movies this last week. I have been notified two more have been shipped. I am sure I will watch them before David.
Yesterday I took my tree down, and packed away most of the trim. I have one more place to clear off, that is in the dropped ceiling in the kitchen. Then I am through for another year. As I was packing away I considered selling quite a few of my things. I just don't want to keep on doing this job. I will keep the necessities. (I must get my yard sale up and running soon.) I can use that money for vacation. I broke several ornaments, if that keeps up I wont need to sell or have to sell. Not sure why I could not hold onto anything.
Today is a day I must write a letter of appeal to Medicare. They said they paid bills that should have been WC. Not so, one is my heart surgery follow up. One is the day of my back surgery. Lower back, July 3, 2001. They are easy to prove I just do not want to spend my day writing letters and making phone calls. Total is about 1600 dollars. I can find all of those receipts, Now I know why I have medical records from 1994. I always thought I would shred them but now they are coming in handy. I spent last evening going through a file box, pulling out all my receipts. I wonder if they will reimburse me for the money I put out.
No Way!!! I will not even consider asking as I want this over. I think 14 and 1/2 years is long enough.
Now I best get busy with my letter and copies. Darn it. Maybe I will nap first I am pretty tired, my back has hurt the last three days, Like it is sore in my abdomen. Oh well the life of the aged. Good times to be had by all.
I can not complain, no matter what happens it can always be worse.
