A defeated to-do list

Looked at my calendar, it said “Prime@10”. Prime, prime… what was that about… OH RIGHT, thank you google calendar. I had made a date to get my new Durable Power of Attorney naming Prime Fiduciary as agent, signed and notarized. Which meant quickly going over the document and reminding myself who had to sign where. And I had a bunch of other things on my mind so I hastily made a to-do list.

In the actual order I did them, I called Barbara Bayha at 9 and talked her into learning how to set up the lecternette in the lobby. She is organizing a four-session “fireside talk” series and wants a microphone for each session. I persuaded her that she can learn to do it herself and we made a date to meet on Wednesday.

I called Dennis to verify he was still ok with being alternate on the POA. I filled out the parts of the POA that I could and made sure I understood the rest. Then off to Prime’s office in Los Altos. From there I went by CVS on University and picked up a prescription that was waiting. (I had meant to pick it up at the end of a nice walk, until the Calendar app reminded me I had other things to do this morning.) I put the new POA in the “Brown BInder” which contains all our estate documents. trust, will, etc. A couple of things there need updating, note they aren’t crossed off.

Before lunch I visited Gloria Hom and took care of her tech squad call regarding poor audio from her new TV set.

After lunch I got facilities to set up the 10-foot ladder in the auditorium so we could reach the track lights. At 2:30, Dan Nitzan came by for the 3rd day in a row, and this time we (well, he) succeeded in getting the right combination of light heads working and aimed in the right direction. In future our presenters will be much better lit on zoom and in the recordings.

I practiced guitar for 45 minutes then I went down to FOPAL and did 2 hours of book pricing and shelving. Came home at 7 and made a delicious supper of salami and pickle sandwich and a cup of bouillon. And basked in the glow of a day of gettin’ shit done.
