Mornin'

Yesterday's oil change turned into a brake and transmission job almost as expensive as Bob's AC repair. At least I know my car will go and stop from now on.

I spent the day paying bills and carving pieces of an old canoe seat to make clamps for the feet of a piano action. Making an action cradle from scraps of wood and some nuts, bolts and washers, another DIY project.

Piano lesson this morning. Pieces are starting to get harder, but I find I'm learning. I can sight-read the earlier ones far easier than when I started 7 weeks ago.

I don't have a will yet, I keep thinking I should do one but don't seem to get to it. Instead of a Living Will I plan to do a healthcare proxy (medical power of attorney). Specifying medical treatments to use or decline before knowing the diagnosis seems risky. You might say do not tube-feed, and then have a car accident tomorrow and go into surgery to save your life, then starve to death in the recovery phase. A proxy is more flexible.

DS's transplant clinic appointment yesterday got cancelled because he has a fever. COVID-19 PCR test results should come back today, hopefully. Fingers crossed.

June 30. My boss used to celebrate "Fiscal New Year's Eve" when I worked for the state. Took us out on his pontoon boat one year.
