051312 -    2.  Got it - no links.  Will do my best.
051314 -         ..
051315 -    3.  Hope you had a good week.
051317 -         ..
051318 -    4.  Think I mentioned the car service folks gave an estimate of $2K
051319 -        to fix an oil leak.  Steve and Ross suggested monitoring to
051320 -        assess scope of problem.  After a week, evidence indicates can
051321 -        defer this work/expense.  Maybe next week it will be much
051322 -        worse, but right now seems okay - just a few tiny drops every
051323 -        few days.
051325 -         ..
051326 -    5.  Went to the VA for a medical report that was supposed to be on
051327 -        a CD, but came in the mail printed on paper.  Helped Wilma
051328 -        discover how to load image files onto the CD.
051330 -         ..
051331 -    6.  Went to the Vet.  For $200 we got a paper with illegible
051332 -        handwritten scribble.  The blood test itself shows all
051333 -        diagnostics within range.  It's healthier than my tests.  Asked
051334 -        Renee what the doctor's scribbles say.  Renee said:  "nsf."
051335 -        Asked what that means?  She said the doctor reports that
051336 -        examination for 30 minutes and blood work yielded "nothing
051337 -        significant found."  That's the doctor's entire analysis.
051339 -         ..
051340 -    7.  Guessing Sasha's earlier problems were loneliness.  She seems
051341 -        great now, bouncing around full of life, waking me up at 0500
051342 -        as usual.  Bought 3 months supply of her medication.  Will keep
051343 -        her on full prescription for another few weeks, then try to
051344 -        reduce it again very slowly, and see how she does.  If symptoms
051345 -        recur, will continue full dose.
051347 -         ..
051348 -    8.  In the meantime, the ice maker has stopped.  The clock on the
051349 -        Entertainment Center stopped. Changing the battery didn't fix
051350 -        it.  Then the vacuum cleaner broke.  Took it to Walnut Creek
051351 -        for repairs.  Wait, had to laugh - the microwave broke!
051352 -        Haven't taken it in yet.
051354 -         ..
051355 -    9.  Seems like I spent the whole week doing "errands."
051357 -         ..
051358 -   10.  While at the Vets, stopped at Kmart, thinking that might be
051359 -        where Millie bought the bowls that got away in transition.  No
051360 -        luck.

200409 -   11.  Today, talked to Social Security about retirement benefits,
200410 -        since I am over 65.  A lady at Social Security asked a lot
200411 -        questions.  They want certified copies of marriage and divorce
200412 -        documents. [...reported on 101008 1251. ref SDS 50 UV4I...]
200413 -        Didn't have a clue.  After the call, found the certified
200414 -        marriage certificate in the desk next to the computer table.
200415 -        Cannot find divorce documents.  Recall signing papers for
200416 -        Millie in 1999, and she took them to file.  Can you please
200417 -        check for a copy in Millie's records that you have?  Supposed
200418 -        to send marriage and divorce docs to Social Security by next
200419 -        Wednesday.
200421 -         ..
200422 -   12.  There is a small pile of mail for you.  Some looks like
200423 -        requests for donations that Millie supported, but not sure.
200424 -        One is another bill from UCSF.  Let me know, if you want me to
200425 -        check it out.
