Sleep 0200 to 0500. 1430 to 2100. (9-1/2 hours)

  • Property taxes are almost $12k this year. Not good or bad, just is.

Sleep 0030 to 0530. 1200 to 1330. 1630 to 1730. (7-1/2 hours)

  • HOA Meeting ran 30 minutes long. We had half an hour with the two owners of the small business doing our patio waterproofing. Then another 30 minutes discussing operating and reserve budgets. Then 30 minutes speeding through the other topics. Then unfortunately an hour talking about the interior remodeling project. Even though we had two big topics to start I thought we would finish on time except T gets defensive about her project and spends a lot of time re-justifying the project over and over. I'm quite willing to support the project and have it go to conclusion; no need to try to convince me and I'm not sure the other board members are against it either even if we're bit short on reserves.

  • Due to COVID-19 National Emergency Period my COBRA enrollment end date is Dec 04 2023. The initial premium payment is also one year away, though you do have to pay all the intervening months for continuous coverage.
  • Signed up for COBRA.
  • Bit of an earthquake (11:42:30), 5.0 magnitude, epicenter a bit east of San Jose.

  • Slept a little, couldn't get back to sleep, finally slept in the morning. Not sure how much construction noise there was as it didn't seem loud when it was present. But slept with headphones for a few hours then without for the rest of the day.

Thu Oct 27 2022

Sleep 0030 to 0400. (3-1/2 hours)

  • FTB MCT REFUND - MCT REFUND ($250) appeared. Search reveals this is California Middle Class Tax Refund and is automatic.
