a familial visit
Feb. 9th, 2024 09:54 pmMy parents have arrived!
Dad successfully managed to close the $5 savings account that CFCU opened in his name when he co-signed my auto loan. (This had to be done in person. Apparently CFCU has no way to close an account remotely, even if the account holder lives literally halfway across the country.)
On the less good side, he developed a weird rash all over his arms and back during the drive, so he and Mom visited one of the local urgent care facilities to get that looked at. The current theory is that he might be reacting to a new fabric softener Mom used on their last few loads of laundry. Anyway, he has some medications and hopefully he will feel better tomorrow.
We had Chinese takeout for dinner, and tomorrow we will eat breakfast separately and then decide whether to visit some local wineries or go to the Corning Museum of Glass. We have no strong preference either way and may end up flipping a coin.
Work was largely uneventful -- I showed some apartments to some people, responded to some inquiries, and fiddled a bit with some floor plans.
The weather was WILDLY unseasonable. I mean, it was nice! Blue skies with some fluffy white clouds, warm sunshine, the works -- I think we hit 65 Fahrenheit around 3pm -- but the lack of winter disturbs me on a deep animal level.
Anyway, time to finish washing dishes and then I will probably go to bed a bit early.
