what I did on my day off
Jan. 10th, 2021 09:39 pmThings I have done today:
1. Sent an initial inquiry email to Excellus about my borked health insurance situation. (Namely, I enrolled in a new health insurance plan for 2021! Unfortunately, so far as I can tell, that enrollment never made it from the NY state health portal site to Excellus, since my new plan isn't attached to my Excellus account, and I have not received either new insurance cards or a bill. This is a problem.)
2. Sent the agenda and the draft minutes of last month's meeting to the other Board of Trustees members. Also sent a screenshot of the agenda to the church office manager to post on our website, because communication is a good thing.
3. Baked almond cake. I think I will take some in to work tomorrow for Mom Boss, Aunt Boss, and the two concierges.
4. Baked banana bread. I already had the oven heated so why not?
5. Paid Nick back for my portion of Aunt Cara's Christmas gift. (We usually go halves on a gift certificate to a local restaurant or set of restaurants, because a large gift certificate is more useful than a small one.)
6. Watched a couple random The Joy of Painting episodes to stop myself from doomscrolling.
7. Took my recycling bin to the curb for pickup.
8. Changed linens. I changed my hand towels in addition to my bath towel this week, because of the lovely new hand towels I got for Christmas. The old ones worked all right, but they were getting threadbare in patches and frayed in other patches, and were always a mismatched collection of assorted hand-me-downs. It is really nice to have soft, thick new hand towels in matching pairs. Not essential to life, sure, but fairly cheap considering, and they just make me feel good. :)
And now to bed. :)
