It was a quiet week for me. Not so much for Danita. Her dad lost his pill container and created a pretty big stink. Riderwood has doctors that hold office hours on site, but Bud’s insurance doesn’t cover the service because they are “out of network”. Bud decided he would visit the Riderwood doctors to get his pills. Fortunately, when he got to the medical suite there were no doctors there. That’s a good thing. A cardiologist visit and a couple of prescriptions runs into some serious money when they are not insured. Then he went down the hall to his buddy and asked his buddy to give him a ride to a cardiologist. The buddy was pretty upset because residents are supposed to stay in their rooms to avoid spreading COVID.
Our virtual concert was quite nice. The concert was at 5:30, so we took a pizza downstairs and ate while we listened. The pianist was excellent and we enjoyed his selections. The video was funny. There were three cameras. One of them was a close-up on the keyboard. When the music was slow, I could clearly see the fingers creating the notes. When the music was fast, the fingers were indistinct. Finger motion was behind the music. Sometimes fingers jumped or became somewhat translucent and blurry.
Danita made us a treat for Cynco de Myao. We had chicken mole and Mexican brownies. They were mmmm – mmmm good. Then we watched The Mask of Zorro. I think we should celebrate Cynco de Myao several times a year. We get mole left overs for dinner tonight.
Our neighborhood office manager was having problems with our resident database. I wondered over to the clubhouse this morning to look at it. I found a way to work around the problem, but I haven’t found a solution. I am able to reproduce the problem on my computer. There’s nothing in the boards. I think I found a Windows bug. It’s not entirely unbelievable. This bug involves a little-used feature in Microsoft Access Database. It’s triggered only when opening the database in one specific sequence. I wrote my first ever query to the Microsoft support site. It’s the most interesting bug I’ve seen in at least 5 years. Woo-hoo.
The last piece of news is that Danita got a new computer. Hers is getting on the old side. The warranty on both of our computers is expiring. She relies on her computer a lot, especially during Covid. My computer is a little older than hers, but I have my Surface Go travel computer, so I can safely run my computer until I get a serious case of computer envy, or the computer breaks. The computer came in much earlier than we expected. It wasn’t scheduled to arrive until June 1. I was able to get her computer up and running in less than a day. So far, we haven’t found any missing files or programs.
Dinner’s almost ready. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
