Tall Agenda

No rest for the weary. Despite the 4am arrival, I have to get moving as soon as the Department of Motor Vehicles is open today. I can't risk my license and registration being cancelled. The woman there is very pleasant, but bottom line is I must go to the insurance company and straighten it out because they did not do their part.

Second stop, AAA. Fortunately, its close by. The gentleman is very persistent with the insurance company, but they will need to go back to the date of payment and *listen to the recorded phone message*! I had no idea that when you hear that little caveat that a conversation might be recorded for quality purposes that they archive those messages for future reference! In this case, I am glad they did because it verified that I was good and they had not done their part.


One down. On to the dentist. The temporary crown on the top right had cracked and fallen off en route to Concordia. I do a walkin emergency call, and Kiel and I settle in to wait. Upshot is that my dentist is back from vacation (first day back) and has had a 3:00 pm cancellation, so she will put the permanent crown on for me. Grace of God!

Next bank - whoops, closed. Well, dinner, then class. I am amazed that I am not falling asleep during the four hours of lecture. It is the first time I have not done the readings in advance. I must be getting old. Yet I know I am not alone. My classmates are all talking about taking time off work to complete the papers and assignments.

Home again - and I need to sleep but I am too wound. I have to rise at 4:00 am to catch the flight back to Concordia in time for morning class at 8:30am. Mostly I am amazed that I have not keeled over! Grace of God.
