Scattered updates
Since the last entry, I have:
* Decided to use birthday cash to replace my shoes, since the soles were starting to separate from the heels. Found a pair that fits, provides adequate ankle support, and seems reasonably durable. The last bit had better pan out, because they were also uncomfortably expensive. I've learned the hard way that it's worthwhile not to skimp on walking shoes, though.
* Re-applied to AHCCCS, in person, with a complaint about them having my address incorrect, resulting in delayed mail. It's amazing how much simpler an informed person can make the process. The failure of certain of the office staff to do so when asked is unacceptable.
* Baked cookies; half oatmeal-walnut, half oatmeal-chocolate-chip. Must remember that cookies made with butter brown over a much shorter interval than those made with oil.
* Engaged in large-scale sorting/filing/throwing away of paperwork. To the tune of four large grocery bags of recyclable paper, which are now no longer taking up space on my floor.
* Assembled a letter and backing documentation for why the government's assessment of my ability to pay for my education is based on incorrect assumptions (namely that conditions which prevailed in the past have continued into the present).
