Last week I agreed to buy hurricane resistant fabric covering for my windows.

As the hurricane moved past me, I realized I need to be independent. There was no one to help me and the fabric window coverings would be hard for me to put up. I called the company (Storm Fitters) and they’ll let me switch to hurricane resistant windows! The salesman will work up the difference in price. I know it’ll be more but I’ll always be ready for a storm and I won’t have to do anything (except move stuff off the patio, which is enough).

I also this afternoon worked with Hillsborough County to make sure that my deed is appropriately registered. It was supposed to be in my name with Kelly as my next of kin. Instead they’d made Kelly the owner. That would also have affected additional deductions including my homestead deduction and widow status. It’s now fixed! Yeah!!!!

And the guy came to install my garage door opener. It’s wonderful! I finally have a light in my garage and a keypad on the outside. I hooked it up to my smartphone so, even if I’m not home, I can check to see if it’s down or up. I’m happy.

Oh, yes, and Kelly and Dave’s flights were changed for December 21st. Actually American Airlines only advised me of the change to Dave’s but when I called them, I found both itineraries have been delayed about 15 minutes.

It was a productive day.
