Hey There!
It's 8:00 AM EST, ☁️ Overcast, 38°F, Humidity 72%, Wind 13 mph N
Today the area is supposed to get some light snow. I don't expect anything by the shoreline, but maybe an inch or two in the hills. A tiny reminder that it is November after all.
Can't say that yesterday was too exciting. DW and I did meet with our financial planner in the morning, and all is well. He is down in Florida. We just took some profit from stocks and moved them to T-Bills and bonds. Nothing fancy, although I am somewhat interested in a Roth conversion.
I spent most of the day once again futzing around on computers. DW had a pretty tough day, as her sister has been asked to leave the living facility she's in because she's a PITA and hasn't paid Nov. rent. The people there can't give her the care she needs, and she's simply acting like a spoiled brat. So DW's niece has to look for another place for her to live that has more intense care. My SIL is completely uncooperative and won't sign papers like POA or have her daughter's name put on her bank acount. There appears to be no good option at the moment. My SIL is always going to believe she's been "kidnapped," and I think it's to the point that, on a certain level, that might be true-ish. Because she's uncooperative, I have no answers either. The drama will play out as the weekend progresses.
DW had put in a food order, so at 2 PM I went to the local superstore to get groceries and then stopped at the drug store for prescriptions. When I got home I again tried to resist a nap, and was helped with that when DW came into the living room. I watched the latest Playing with Sticks video, and pretty much just poked around the internet until dinner.
We had the remainder of the leftover stuffed ziti with a little extra sauce and a salad. After dinner, I checked into the weather forecast, and then I decided to use my AI to run some simulations on a Roth conversion. The resuts were interesting to say the least. I am considering sending the results to my financial planner and see what he has to say about it. My AI produced a nice one-page summary on the issue. I am beginning to appreciate why people like AI.
After that exercise, I hit up Turner Classic Movies for a film called There Goes My Heart with a very young Frederic March, Vivian Bruce, and Patsy Kelly. Harry Langdon makes a little cameo at the end. I was really taken by Patsy Kelly's performance, which was broad and comical. When the film was over, I watched an old 1952 educational short called Duck and Cover, about how to protect yourself from an atomic bomb attack. I used to do these drills as well, so it was quite a time capsule to watch. Another Looney Tunes cartoon with Bugs Bunny, then cleaning the kitchen and bedtime at 11:02 PM.
That's all for now. 'Til We Meet Again!
