Another eBay parcel on the porch waiting for the mail carrier to pick it up. A large check will soon declutter a chunk of the insurance money for the roof (partial payment to cover shingles); the last time I put on a roof I paid for it myself, it was easy. This time we have to go by insurance company rules making it complicated. I need to figure out what forms to send them when it's finished.

The ex is having trouble finding a comfortable chair while he recovers from this sciatica/injury, and I'm thinking the wooden rocking chair we got when our daughter was born might solve the problem. I'm going to load it up and take it over for him to try out. Otherwise he can come to the house and try various chairs and see if anything works. PT is today so he'll be able to ask questions about chairs. I'll drive him over, but they can also set up home PT and that might save me some driving in the future. And we need to figure out how to get that sofa out of his house, he can't use it now and shouldn't be tempted in the future.

Yesterday when the roofer was here I pointed out the crumbling bat house on the top front of the garage, and said that if someone could unscrew that while they're up on a ladder that would be a huge favor. It never attracted bats, just wasps. I put it up 15 years ago, but am not so thrilled about going up on that ladder again. I do still use ladders regularly, just not that far up any more. I have to go rearrange some pots and get the hoses and sprinklers out of harm's way.
