OVR update

I had my follow up appointment yesterday with OVR. I'm not really sure why it was necessary because there really was no additional information they needed and there has been no change in my status. All she really did was go over what's been done so far and to tell me I have been approved for the hearing aides that were talked about at my last ENT appointment.

It was worth going though because I had gotten a bill in the mail after my last ENT appointment. The bill was for $70 and I hadn't paid it yet because I wanted to ask the case worker about it first. I thought maybe I misunderstood something and I owed that money. When I showed her the bill she got a disgusted look on her face and she said "DON"T PAY IT'. She told me they have already been paid and they should not have been billing me for anything. While I was there she put her phone on speaker and had me call ENT to inquire about the bill. After being put on hold for a while I was told the bill was an error and I should disregard it. The case worker made a note on my bill saying what she heard them tell me.

The other positive thing that happened was she asked me about other health issues I have and if there was anything they could do to assist with them. Then she asked if I wore glasses. I explained that I have them but don't wear them and it's been a long time since I've had my eyes checked. Now she's also going to put in a request for an exam and new glasses for me.

This and that

After I got back from work yesterday morning I did a little of this and a little of that. I worked on cleaning up my craft room but I still have a long way to go on that. I also worked on one of those shutters that I showed you before. I did a repair job to a broken Christmas decoration and I also did a load of laundry. All that and it really feels like I did very little.

I thought I would do a quick video and show you the whole village on my fireplace. It's not very big so I went up and back. Pardon the jerky movements, it was filmed by jerky me.

In the village

According to the schedule at work I have today and tomorrow off. The schedule would be wrong. I agreed to go in for a couple hours on both days to cover for the missing cashier until the office person gets in. Tomorrow after I leave work I have an appointment with OVR. I have no idea what it's for other than a follow up before they can continue with my hearing aid thing.

When I got home from work yesterday, I destroyed my craft room more than it already was by working on one little card. Nope, don't have a picture of it. I then paid the phone bill that I almost forgot about and took care of a couple other bills while I was at it. Those tasks along with making myself dinner and cleaning up the kitchen pretty much took up the remainder of the day.

This was a last minute post so I grabbed a couple pictures from the village that's set up on the top of my fake fireplace.

The whole town is working on decorating.

Not a great picture but I liked the color on the wall from the lights.

Great expectations

I hear about events and think they sound like a lot of fun. I've already told you about the reindeer trail walk that Amanda and I went to last weekend. This weekend there was a Christmas in the park event right here in my little town. It was being held at the park just down the street from me.

Some of the events they advertised were:

Crafts

Live nativity

Strolling Carolers in period costume

food

games

hay rides

story time

and several others that I can't remember.

I bundled up and took a ride down the street.

I saw the crafts, all 5 tables. There were no carolers  or live nativity. I didn't look in the one building because that was where they were supposed to be doing the story time.

I passed by the food, took a brisk walk around the park and then headed back home.
