Event of the Day: Ma had her physical therapy session, good thing the rain let up enough so that our Cris didn't get drenched. Then after I brought her to Alphaland, I swung past Rustan's Santuario to pick up kitty stuff and canned fish - our staple go-to menu when there's a typhoon about. All one needs is hot rice and a little imagination with the fish, and you are pretty much good to go. *grin*

As for the rest of it, it was a day of down time. Ramon totally made my morning by announcing that he felt the signs of the ominous "burbling" while I was asleep; he took one of his nitro pills and a full Lasix, and never bothered to wake me once the Lasix started doing its job - in short, pee. Lots and lots of pee at regular intervals, and an end to the "burbling". Cue my heart doing that skip-a-beat thing and thus forcing him to stay home when it was time to bring Cris to her jeepney stop.

Another Nap of Ages (TM) was had; then discovering that various services were down - like the phone banking hotlines. Both Citi and BPI, yo. And just when I was fussing about finally getting to pay off one of my huge credit card balances. Gah? Then LJ was down, which wasn't so much a surprise now as a minor wrinkle - not being able to read my Friends Page and comment was something I missed, since not everyone mirrors their journal on Dreamwidth.

But all things considered, it was good to stay home. I looked at the digital version of my calendar for July and it is absolutely peppered with things I had to do. August already has notations for things to pick up and things to do, like seeing to the registration of the Innova. Which now reminds me that I need to get a few numbers off Ramon's phone. See, when his phone used to be mine, I copied off all my contacts from my SIM into the phone. A fortunate event, since I was able to recover the contact for our cemetery caretaker that way. I need to review that list and see what other numbers I need, and transfer them off to Tabbie (which syncs to Google, which is as good a backup as any). Which now reminds me that I need to see how I can get a hard copy of the contacts list off either Tabbie or Google, just to be on the really safe side.

Event of the Day: Today turned out to be the day of real resting - a day with absolutely nowhere to go, and nothing to do that needed rushing. Bliss! Managed a nap, even if it wasn't a Nap of Ages (TM), and came out refreshed all the same.

The gardner called up to apologize for not coming in today, because his mama died yesterday. :( Ma and I have agreed to give what we in the Philippines call abuloy, or a monetary gift to the bereaved, something to help defray the expense of the wake and burial. We'll hand it over when he comes in next Thursday.

Today was about sorting through and reorganizing the file system for travel documentation. I must say, having a filing cabinet whose status is current-dated is a great incentive for keeping the contents neat and updated as soon as it can be managed.

The phone banking lines came back online, and I was able to not only pay the huge-ass credit card balance, but also some of the other bills falling due this August. I can start breathing a wee bit easier for a while, woot!

As well, I did both my laundry and Ramon's. It is a blessing to have a fully-functional washing machine, yes it is!
