Taking Care of Business
This morning at 1 a.m., I visited my bank and used the night depository to deposit a check. It felt odd "doing business" at that time, but if you cannot sleep, you might as well do what you can when and how you can do it!
I was unable to sleep until after 4:30 a.m., so I did not wake up until about 8:30. I made a phone call to the credit union at 9:45 a.m., concerned that it was not yet showing. An hour ago, the deposit was reflected in the account, and that is one more thing that I can check off my to-do list.
I have gathered up the DVDs and books that I want to return to the library today, so that is next on my list.
I also need to use a computer with a printer, so that I can download the forms to transfer my 401K over to the newly opened IRA at my credit union, which I opened on Friday. I can do that at the library for 10 cents a page, so that will save time, and will be less expensive than going to FedEx/Kinkos.
In the next day or two, I am going to call my cable company to likely have cable television turned off. Before I do so, I need to see if I have a television that is "smart," so that I can hook it up to my computer lines and watch Netflix or Hulu. A friend was telling me that might be a better, and cheaper, option for me.
I also need get busy with finding a primary care provider, talk to the social security administration about options, and maybe find an attorney. These are the things that cause me the most stress, but I need to see it as business/work/project, rather than the pain-in-the-butt that it is...they are.
I am trying to make sure that I do not allow myself to be overwhelmed, so if I can accomplish one or two things a day, rather than put a list of 100 things down, I am better off. When I start making lists, I feel it necessary to do so many things in a one or two day period. That is crazy-making.
I already spent some time here with notifications, and putting up a post or two. If I can get into the habit of doing these things, then I will develop some consistency in my life. I would call that "innovation," if I look at my patterns!

Thank you for sharing this. I will check into it tomorrow.
Gotta drag out my owner's manual, if I can find it. LOL

Step by babystep will get you through it. A little at a time will make a dent in the biggest mountain.

You can also buy a Roku box to hook up to your tv. They wirelessly connect to your internet and stream netflix plus many others

A friend of mine had her cable shut off and got Netflix instead, and she loves it. Particularly for its variety in programming for young kids (she has three). I considered it myself but it doesn't carry current episodes of the shows I like.

Thank you for the recommendation. I have not heard of that before.

I understand that Netflix and Hulu combined are less expensive that most cable companies.

Cool. That's the 2nd time I've heard that recommendation.

It's worth it. Do you have Netflix now?

We have one of those on the old spare tv. I use it a lot during football season lol. But I also bought a smart blu-ray player for our main tv. It was a lot cheaper than getting a smart tv. I can even access facebook with the blu-ray player

Okay...so if not a smart tv...a smart bluray....got it.
