Tuesday, January 18, 1994 - Norfolk, VA

Today, the temperature dropped as rapidly as it climbed yesterday. It's freeeeezing! Snowed in the late afternoon, nice, soft, powdery flakes, but the wind blew so hard, it blew nearly all of it away.
Walked to the post office in the morning. Hurray! My mail had arrived. Roy got his mail, too. Now we have a lot of paperwork to do and bills to pay. The insurance premium for the boat went way up, of course. And I got another stupid letter from Kaiser regarding my claim. Phoned them and found out the provider has to bill Medicare. Why didn't they tell me that in the first place? All the letters they've sent me, they could have told me what to do. So now I have to phone all three places in Morehead City and see if they will bill Medicare for my treatment last July.
Tried to go to a movie. According to the ad, the theater was at Chesapeake Square. Looked at my bus map and found a Chesapeake Square. The #13 bus went there, so I got on the #13 bus. Went right by where the map showed Chesapeake Square, but there were only houses. Checked with the driver, and she told me Chesapeake Square Mall is in Portsmouth. Terrific. The driver was very nice. She took me back to downtown Norfolk free and even gave me a free transfer. By then it was too late to go to a movie, so I used the transfer to go to the grocery store. Got a few groceries and the photos from the film I had dropped off a couple of days ago. Most of them came out quite well.
After supper, the Board of Directors of Jofian, Inc., held their annual meeting. We figured out how to pay the bills, wrote the checks, and adjourned the meeting. That's done.
Made more unsuccessful attempts to phone Nancy. Finally tried to phone Jeanette directly. She's moved, but I talked with a friend of hers who said she's fine. That's a relief.
By the way, Roy and I are both over our colds and feeling fine, even though the weather is icy. Five degrees this morning!
