Day 61 And Still Not Done

This has been a pretty uneventful weekend. Torger just got off the phone with his dad and is waiting for the television event of the season on the SciFi Channel: "Sharks in Venice." He is, of course, disgusted that the sharks that will apparently be the villains of the movie are great whites--and not even a kind of shark that could possibly, under some far-fetched circumstance, ever stand a chance of winding up in the Venice canals. But he plans to watch it anyway because, well, it's a killer shark movie. Set in Venice. Meanwhile, I'm making dinner (like the sharks, we're also having Italian ). I've been trying to get Christmas cards written in between going through bills and trying to keep up on the filing. My friend Jean advised me early on in Torger's treatment to start a file to keep bills and insurance statements coordinated, and keeping up with that file has been both time-consuming and essential. There are so many bills for so many different providers that it becomes really hard to keep them straight, and it would be really easy to pay something twice without this system. There's one unit of the hospital that has twice now neglected to bill our insurance and just sent us a bill for the total amount due, which I might have paid if I weren't making a point of matching all these things up. So while Torger is watching sharks, I think I'm going to enjoy a quiet evening collating.
