OPA 19 to 25 March 2018, Docent, driver's license

Monday: boring working on money books

Tuesday: Happy First Day of Spring! Another trip to Seattle to meet with fiduciary agents. Tried to get up early and going so had time before meeting to be tourist, didn't work. Early going doesn't seem to be in my make up lately. Good money plan. Took my time walking back to ferry. Took lots of architecture pictures. Then the ferris wheel and space needle. 

Friend indicated possible visit in July. Guess need to set up a day bed for here. 

Worked on the WiFi bridge on old computer, error message when try to use after turning it off. Called tech support, could not really understand the tech, put on hold and waited before hanging up. Then went to Office Depot for cable. Long cable. Need to look for photo program to use on the Dell computer. Really like the way Windows 7 organizes photos, Windows 10 not so much. Want to be able to have folders for the different cameras. 

Wednesday: Moving boxes planning coming together. Stopped at local company to arrange for help on 30 March, since hadn't heard anything from ward. Let the storage comp know I'd be out of huge unit by 31 March. While there a man offered his son's help. Then Ward help came through. Then storage company called with news that the smaller unit was available now. So called the father & son helpers and arrangements made for this Saturday. 

Thursday: Off to Port Angeles licensing office. Filled out on line form and have confirmation number. Office really tucked away in back of building. Walked in and no other customers. Amazing never seen a DMV office that wasn't crowded. In and out in about half hour. That was for new driver's license only. Have to go someplace else for car registration. Knew where that licensing office is in Sequim. Stopped there. Need title. Don't keep in car, don't know exactly where it is right now. Home and got info to order new one from California. In the mail later in day. Also got other mail finally into mail. 

Friday: Up early and prepare to go to Forks and work as docent at the Twilight Collection. Lissy sent IM that schools were on 2 hr snow delay and suggested leaving later than original planned. I watched local news and weather last night, snow but not that low. Left an hour later than original planned. Did run into one lane delay for 15 min wait. Looking at mountains it was beautiful with fresh snow on trees. Initially didn't look like snow level got to level of Crescent Lake though. At the Storm King/Ranger/ LC Lodge turnoff there was fresh snow on ground at lake level and continued all the way to Forks. Pretty! Road was cleared. The passing lane at one point was not cleared, but didn't need both lanes. Would have liked to have stopped to take pictures, but turnouts not cleared and didn't want to get stuck and kinda late. Did stop at north Welcome sign and took a picture. Got gas and then to VIC. Bella's truck had snow and took a couple of pictures and posted to FB. Got training on being a docent. Then had to wait for time to open. 

Worked with Julie Edwards. We had two groups of three come in. Otherwise we chatted. Sat down off / on to rest feet a little. Hard concrete floor walking around on. For snow and slush waterproof shoes would have been nice to wear, but they would not have been good on that floor. Turns out even with the shoes I did wear, my feet and legs were tired and sore. Save money to donate cushion mats to have in there. 

Went home from there. The follow lead car portion wasn't active, just a much shorter stretch of one lane at a time via traffic light. 

Saturday: Up early and very slow moving, was really sore. Met up with Brianna and went to visit teach two of our sisters. Then met up with a father son duo to move boxes. Nice and convenient that the smaller unit was four doors down. All that was left fit in and some room left over. That might be handy to put boxes currently in guest room here in the unit, so I can set up a day bed for visitors. They worked hard and all done moving boxes in less than an hour. It took me another two hours to move emptied boxes filled with packing paper to garage to slowly feed into recycle bin. All done by 4pm and before rain. Could see the curtain of rain, but didn't get to us. Got some food from Safeway deli and ate well to celebrate.

Sunday: woke up about 2am and couldn't go back to sleep. Tired but not sleepy - seems to be my nearly constant state. Didn't get to church. Lots of time in bed with heating pad on hips and drifting in/out of light sleep. Until eventually up and work on this off/on. 

update not sure which night: woke up thinking I should add phone and cable outlets in both bedrooms. Might want to have cable connection for desk top computer. Eventual housemate/caretaker might want their own phone and cable line. Easier and less expensive to do now rather than later. Contacted LJM and added them. Hopefully no more middle of night wake up with ideas.
