Danny and I were up and out about 6:00am. I had my coffee made by a coffee bag and made a fresh pot. At 8:00 I took Danny out again then called the life insurance company because they had taken Ted’s premium out of my checking account. The man said he would put a stop on it. I asked if I would get a refund and he said it would be sent to me with my principal amount. What a bummer. They delay paying me and then they rip me off and delay returning my premium.
I reconciled both the company and my personal bank statements. The mail man came and brought the short certificate from the surrogate and I filled out the form and took it to the notary. It is for Ted’s last disability check. They had sent a two week check which one week was before his death and one week was after. I had to pay $5.00 for the certificate and $5.00 for the notary. I seem to be getting ripped off all around.
The gentleman who runs the grief support called and cancelled tonight’s meeting. I was looking forward to going. I really needed the support. He had a plumbing problem and had to have his driveway dug up to get to the sewer. My sewer goes under the driveway also. It would be a mess to have to dig that up.
I called our friend from Ted’s BNI group. She has a private kennel for her dogs. She had boarded another friend’s dog when she went on vacation. I asked if her kennel would be available for doggie day care. She was very enthusiastic. She has a horse farm with several horses, a pony and a donkey. It is a very nice place. She has several collies. Each dog has its own kennel run and can be open for the dogs to roam around each other kennel. When I need to take Danny, he will start out in his own kennel until we see how he gets along with the other dogs and with my friend. He will be safe there. I won’t have to worry about him. I am going on an all day bus trip later in the month and will take Danny there for the day. I’ll also take him there if I get a job in which I won’t be able to get home for lunch. I hope he likes it there. He loves to be outside. He will also be able to go inside a dog house or shelter.
I have some early red tulips in bloom. I’ll try to get some photos tomorrow. I also may have to give the hedge a trim this week. Some other projects are to wash and vacuum Ted’s car and get it ready for sale. My car needs the same. I need to do some weeding around the back yard and dig out the dandelions.
