There Be Dragons…


Sometimes that to-do list takes on epic proportions. This week was one of those weeks of epicness. And not in a good way epic.

This was the week of do-not-ignore-because-bad-stuff-will-happen-if -you-ignore deadlines.

It started with Microsoft’s ominous announcement that October 14th will be the day my trusty, and still viable, Lenovo will burst into flames.

Okay, slight exaggeration. But my Lenovo is so old it operates on Windows 8 and it looked quite confused when I tried to initiate the Windows 10 update option.

That was one dragon on my list.

Another dragon was that pesky Medicare letter. Oh, you got one as well?

Nothing like the unexpected panic that my supplemental medical program is going to disappear after December.

Anyone else dread having to enter the Blue Cross phone cue?

That was another dragon on the list.

Add in appointments, article due dates, paper trail checks, paying bills, amid the usual everyday quotidian. Lots of dragons—a nest of them.

Yet—

Slowly, one by one, those dragons disappeared through perseverance, resources, and prayer. The latter receives the most credit.

Hoping your week is filled with roses instead of dragons.

  1. Hmm. We both get supplemental Medicare and haven’t received that letter. What gives?

  2. I am singed, seared, and be-crisped. What dragons?

  3. Meaning you slayed them before they splayed you?
