Massively overscheduled. First thing was to head out walking to the office of what might be my new doctor. This Dr. Chu, member of a group practice providing what is now called concierge medicine, old style family practice where you can get a next-day appointment, or if you are sick the doctor can come to your home to see you. There’s a price for that of course, you pay $500 per month to be a client. On Joanne’s recommendation I signed up for a “meet and greet” with Dr. Chu who gave a good impression, a confident and fatherly sort of guy who answered all my questions. He had a question about my insurance coverage, though, which I need to answer before the deal can go through. And of course the United Health Care website is down.
Back in time to do the cleanup for housekeeping day; then time for the writers meeting and of course I had nothing to contribute. I been busy, he whimpered. Then it was time to start the laundry which has to be done today because otherwise I’m out of socks. Grab some lunch while the washer runs, change loads, then go to the line dance class at 1:30.
Leave the line dance early at 1:55 to join the meeting of selected residents with the team from Stanford Robotics, giving them advice on what robots might or might not be able to do for us elders.
From that to the Car Free meeting at 3. From that back up to finish the laundry, folding and ironing and hanging up, then change pants, grab a hat and coat, and go join Joanne for dinner at 4:40. She is entertaining a long-time friend, Sue, who lives in Port Townsend but also has a place in SF, coming through to visit. We had a nice dinner at Pacific Catch in the shopping center, and then back to CH just in time to do this post, after which I am meeting them again to attend a movie in the auditorium — “The Sting” with Robert Redford.
