One lane on Hazel this weekend--and the traffic will be stalled. It's the wind down of Phase 2 of the project--which will take the rest of the year (2018) to complete. Phase 3 will start in 2019--and who knows how long that will take.

Meanwhile, Trump is demeaning other countries--calling them shit hole nations. The ultimate negotiator runs at the mouth--and never stops it seems.

I made a late start today--stayed in bed until it was almost noon. Finally got up and out--grabbed a sandwich and a latte. Came back and zoned out for several hours--until I woke up and made another latte run and picked up the mail.

Turned out that the SB card I had my credit card issue as an award--was in the mail and not in the mail thief's pocket. I transferred  the award card to my SB gold card--which took me much longer than I thought it would take. I should know by now that doing that transfer takes a while--the UI for doing it is not ask that clear. But I got it done--and it was a perfect time to get it.

It was good timing in that I got a heads up from the medical group that my co-pay is going to be large for the work being done now--quite large! So large, in fact that I went on my IRA account--and pulled my 2018 MRD out. The MRD will just about cover the co-pay--at least for what's being done now. The co-pay will just about max my out-of-pocket amount--and eliminate any further co-pays, hopefully.

I'm feeling somewhat raw and tired today--will do an RSB tomorrow and maybe on Monday. Then it's back to the recliner for the 2nd infusion on Tuesday--and the big co-pay. Merry onward--and off we go!
