Thurs 7 Feb

Busy day today. My biggest whiner client has a Social Security hearing in Wausau this morning. This is his third appeal; who knows, maybe they'll give in and give him benefit this time. At least I have a volunteer driver picking him up in Rosholt and bringing him so I get to drive by myself. Then this afternoon I take Grandma to her eye doctor, who luckily is now having hours in Stevens Point. We used to have to go to Wausau which would have been difficult since I don't feel comfortable taking her in my car any more. I will have Plover Taxi drop her off and pick her up at the Eye Clinic and I will just meet her there. I'm taking my contacts (in the case) to see if there is anything they can do to disinfect them so I don't keep reinfecting myself when I try to wear them. If they don't have anything reliable, I plan to just order new ones. This evening, Dad and I go to the Evening of Chocolate at Stevens Point Country Club for Midstate Epilepsy's fundraiser. This is the 9th year and I have attended every one, initially with Grandma. Several area restaurants bring small portions of chocolate-inspired treats with a few savory items so you can legally call it supper. Hearing went well, I think. I was glad that my client chose to leave the room so I could speak freely without risk of offending him.
