It has been more than a week since I had a proper walk, and outside it was raining heavily. So I put on my walking shoes and went down to the gym and put 2.0 miles on the treadmill. My gouty toe was starting to hurt near the end of the 40 minutes, but it settled down soon after.
Next up was to drive to the other end of University avenue to meet with Leah Lin. Leah is a woman who is developing a clientele among seniors at CH as personal tech support or general personal assistance. She was recommended to me by Joanne T and Connie C.
The problem I want to solve is to have a younger, more available person to hold my medical PA, in case I am hospitalized and can’t communicate. The End of Life series we did a couple of months back sensitized me to this issue. You can need quick response at first, and possibly long-term and rather burdensome monitoring after. I talked it over with Leah, who comes across as the kind of responsible, smart person that Connie and Joanne described, and she is going to write up her understanding of the problem and what she would offer and send it as an email.
At 1pm was the monthly FOPAL volunteer zoom meeting. Last sale netted $18K, new ceiling lights being installed in the main room.
The rest of the day was open. I practiced guitar — my debut as a performing artist is exactly a week from now! — and worked on the 240Z model. This model does not have opening doors, yet it has a very detailed interior, which in the end will be visible only by peering through the side windows. I worked on painting chrome on the dashboard bits and wood color on the steering wheel, and such.
