So far?

Wow.  Ten calls, to different people?  After calling my city, I was given a web site.  Going there, availability wasn't found... the site just didn't know if what I was looking for was available in my area.  So... I called residential.  They sent me to... commercial.  I spoke with a non-rep, rep.  Who then sent me to another non-rep rep.  Both of whom took a ton of information, to only send me to someone else.  The last one, it is supposed, is sending my information to a sales rep?

Though, if I had to bed?  I'd bet I will have to give him all the information all over again.  And... hope he doesn't send me to someone else, even then.  They wonder why services cost so much?  I've spoken with three people, and gone to their web site, and still haven't even ascertained if service is even available, or how much it might cost.  That is absolute garbage.  Any real business, not a government entity, would go bust in a week doing business like that, and should.  They need to fire every single middle man.  Oh, and that doesn't even count the fifteen minutes I spent on their automated phone system that couldn't operate, receive addresses, or take number pad instructions... so eventually I just had to wait through... until it, eventually, sent me to a (useless) human, who sent me to another.  Who... is set me up to speak with even another?

Government waste, fraud, and abuse.  In an hour operation which should only take minutes.  Unions, government, and public services do not mix.

Now, though, I'll get out and turn the duvet.  And sit out there for a bit, to get some fresh air.  Best grab my jacket, and put on snow boots.  There is still four to six inches in the back yard, to trudge through.  Though just sitting out there, for ten, would be a bit chilly with just croc's, even with wool socks.

All good.  Might not be pleased with all.  But... getting to things is always pleasant.  It looks as if the mattress cases will be in today.  So I'll have the washer and dryer open to push those through when they arrive.  Hopefully setting up the new mattresses and bedding tonight.  A bit excited... to sleep on a bed that 150% wider than before, and with all cotton, down, and wool.  May not need as much as before?  Will see.  If not, then I have extra, so can change things out, while I wash what has been used.  Life is good, that way.  Changing blankets quarterly, airing duvet, pillow and mattress under cases, and/or mattresses out monthly to quarterly, changing sheets and pillow cases weekly.  A bit of work, but... good.

I've been, mostly, doing the changes of things weekly.  Skipping a few times, when too busy elsewise.  Or just too tired, ill, old.  But mostly keeping up.  Just adding a few things, parts, and protections.  Plus adding size.  Comfort?  I can hope.  Will find out shortly.  I'm trying... to... live better, do better, do more.  There are limits.

Got it.  The sun is up, it is up to 35 out there.  I moved the duvet so it is in the sun, for what good that will do.  Worked well with wool, not so much with cotton and down.  Still... it is warm enough to do a little, even on those materials.  Just a bit of sitting out there.  A bit too cool for me to stay as long as hoped.  I could walk for a longer time.  At least by temperature.  Not so much with the snow and ice still along the way.  All good, hoping to get to that before long.  Especially now that I have my foot in good order, and have figured out how to keep it in good order.  Ugh.

A good start to the day.  Now to... get a shower, shave maybe, and start dishes to soaking to be washed later.  I've cleared the dryer, and put the little bit needing dried out of the washer into the dryer and going.  Bits and pieces at a time.  Doing my best.

Later.
