Tonight's picture was taken in July of 2007. In typical Mattie fashion, he got out one of this toys to build! That day Mattie used Lincoln logs and created this big tower. Naturally the tower needed a place for a toy car. Vehicles of any kind were very popular with Mattie, and he found a way to integrate locomotion into all his play schemes. Got to love that smile though, no?
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- number of people diagnosed with the virus: 3,676,942
- number of people who died from the virus: 139,748
Just when I thought the paperwork was coming to an end. More was piled on me today for another insurance plan of my dad's. This particular plan requires not only paperwork from us, but from my dad's doctor. So I wrote to the doctor today and attached the document he was asked to complete. Don't you know the doctor asked me to start completing it and then he would review it and sign it. That meant that I needed to complete his form as well as write a letter of medical necessity for caregiving services. Though I am familiar with the medical profession and certainly my dad's case, I am not a medical doctor, nor do I write in medicalese. None the less, I did it, because I want NO EXCUSES! I want all this paperwork to get to the insurer this week!
Today's scenario with the doctor reminded me of my days in graduate school and all the hoops I jumped in order to get a doctorate degree. Sure you need some degree of intelligence to earn a PhD, but overall getting a doctorate means you have survival skills, and can manage people belittling you, people taking advantage of you, people making you do their work for you, and the list goes on. It is all apparently a necessary form of hazing to get into this prestigious academic club. So when someone now says to me that I have to write a letter or complete a document in order to get to the next step of the process..... no problem! I have no problem doing the work, if it accomplishes my agenda.
