I am getting behind on the blog.
Friday, December 23rd I decided to buy myself a couple of presents. So I walked to the credit union (5 miles round trip) in a snow storm to deposit funds, then came home and ordered the stuff.
Christmas went well. It was good visiting with my brother. He got me a really cool Blu-ray player (upgrade from my old DVD player), which also streams content from Netflix. Now I can watch Netflix streaming content on the big TV from the relative comfort of the couch in a warm room, as opposed to in a tiny window on a computer monitor sitting in an office chair in my very drafty hobby room. Boo like this arrangement much better too. 🙂
I had a very good day yesterday. For the first time in years I managed to call and order heating oil on my own!
Today hasn’t been so great. The oil company invoice doesn’t tell me the amount of a credit I had on my account. It just lists the total cost of oil they delivered. I had lost track of how much credit I had, so there is no way for me to know how much of this amount I actually owe. If I can find out and pay by next Tuesday I get a discount. I don’t think my chances of calling them and sorting this out before then are all that great, but you never know.
I got a letter from MaineCare. After all the trouble I went through convincing my primary care provider to submit an argument in favor of the dentures, MaineCare refuses to consider her argument because it was submitted directly to them and not through the denturist on the pre-approval application. What it all boils down to is this: the dental clinic screwed up any chance I might have had by submitting an application that was incomplete. I have calmed down a lot but still have a nagging feeling it may have been done deliberately to improve their bottom line.
