Question of the Day - Friday, September 8, 2023

Who do you need to contact but haven't?


Something happened the other day and I ended up having to text a few people so my list is shorter than normal. I need to contact a friend from college and also my niece to see how surgery recovery is going.

Nobody yet, I finally booked Mum's denture appointment last week, and reordering Daisy's meds can wait.

 

[neely]

The sister of one of my husband's friends. She had been keeping us in the loop about her brother's early onset Alzheimer's. Her brother is my husband's friend and the nicest guy we know. He would do anything for anyone, always thinking of others. His grandfather and father both had early onset and unfortunately it struck him too.

Thanks for the gentle reminder AbbysMom - I'm definitely calling this weekend.

My boss - I'm having to schedule travel for some people in the office and I need to get his payment information.

Also my friends - we are planning a baby shower and I need to contact them sometime to make sure we have all of the food squared away.

A friend in another state. I'm beginning to feel really guilty.

Our cable/internet/phone company. I have to change our package since they have dropped several channels that I watch. So right now I'm paying for services that I no longer have. The thing is, during all this hoopla, they were having a hard time keeping up with calls, because well...everyone was mad. And according to everyone who managed to get thru, it was up to a 5 hour wait on hold. I don't have time for that so I figured I'd wait a bit and hopefully it won't be as bad.

Technically this got solved yesterday by DH but I'll use it anyway.

An allergist for my DD to confirm shes outgrown some things. It's not urgent; but when I found out most everyone in the area will not see minors...ugh. The pediatrician's said I'd have to go to a city over an hour away and I DO NOT like driving up there; let alone on my own. My mom would have come along before she moved. Or done the driving even. So I did nothing until it dawned on me that my husband can in fact use time off work to take us. But then he called the allergist he is using and they said they'd see our kids so both are getting allergy testing now...in 6 months. Just in time for spring! I don't know if they accepted them because DH is a patient or if it's just a different hospital network the pediatrician isn't used to. But gosh I'm so glad I only have to drive like 30 minutes! That's normal. A city over an hour away? Yuck. And it's probably better it worked out this way because it was DH's idea that DS would benefit too. I don't have to make all those decisions on my own.

Nobody at the moment, at least not urgently. I signed up for a high-yield savings account and was supposed to get a $250 reward for depositing $5000 in it but I only got $50, so I will need to contact them about that soonish.

 

[Gunther4ever]

A lot of folks - either to catch up on how they are doing or to quotes for some work to be done. But this is the lazy weekend.

Yes, this.

My neighbor/friend of almost 30 years who's had to go into assisted living with Parkinson's. I haven't seen him since he got there a couple of weeks ago and I definitely need to get in touch.

 

[maggiedemi]

Nobody. I think I contacted everybody that I need to. I just texted my friend to see if she still wants me to come over for coffee tomorrow morning.

I had a PI friend track down an old friend who has moved several times. I have her info but need to carve out time to contact her uninterrupted.
