Day 2957

 I woke up a little before 9.  I had a very late night.  After some games I got up for pet stuff and breakfast.  It was cold outside, lower 40's.  I just surfed because I didn't have anything else to do.

Ellen left for archery and I started to work on the 1/32 RC car.  I didn't get far.  The parts are just too hard for me to manipulate with 1.5 hands.  In over an hour of hard work I managed to assemble two parts and lose another (later I found it).  I put the kit away feeling very discouraged and depressed.  It's the first time in my life that I've ran into something that I wanted to do, but the hand has prevented it.

Just before lunch I took the garbage out.  I had to do at least one useful thing today.  I also looked on Amazon for tools that might let me put the kit together.  I might order a couple of things.

I was eating a frozen dinner for lunch when Ellen got home.  After that it started raining.  It rained from then until at least 9:30.  Sometimes it rained pretty hard.  The total was .85 inch.  We even had a couple of momentary power outages.

A social worker from the hospital called mid-afternoon.  She asked about the financial information.  I told her that I'd emailed it yesterday.  She hung up to look for it.  A little later she called back to ask that I email it to her.  Obviously what I thought would happen did.  Whatever is emailed to the address I was given is ignored.

I also had a short conversation with Yo.  I told him about the financial stuff.  Apparently he's having problems with convincing Tony to stay in the hospital.  The only place that will take him is in Tacoma.

Ellen fixed chicken and noodles for dinner.  I got a notification that there was a package in the mailbox.  I took the car p because it was in the 40's and raining.  It was a new ESC and motor for the Jeep.  I just can't keep from modifying it.

Later on I had a conversation with Tony.  It was on Yo's phone.  Apparently Tony had forgot to pay his phone bill, so T-Mobile had turned it off.  Somehow he'd gotten the bill paid.  He wasn't coherent enough to say how.  He was all agitated because he couldn't get his phone to work and he couldn't get the ATT phone Yo had purchased for him to work either.  T-Mobile had told him to cycle power on his phone to reactivate it, but he couldn't figure out how to do that.

Tony was really manic, refusing to shut up and listen.  Ellen managed to look on the web and find oout how to cycle power.  I tried to tell Tony, but I couldn't get a word in edgewise.  He told me to "shut up", so I hug up on him.  Apparently he figured it out, because he called me back on his phone.

I told him about the progress on the financial front.  He turned the conversation into a really paranoid rant about how "they" have hacked his phone, credit cards, and bank account.  I told him that "they couldn't hack the credit cards (they're frozen) and the bank account shows no issues.  I said it was highly unlikely that the phone was hacked since he wasn't on the internet.  He said "they" were tricky and could do it anyway.

The whole thing was a really paranoid.  I told him to stop because I wasn't going to listen to it anymore.  He didn't, so I just put the phone on the table until he hung up.  Later he called back to sort of make amends.  I let him and we ended amicably.

By the it was 9 and I was very tired.  I vegged out in front of TV for a while and then went to bed.
