Adapting...adapting...
Day Two! There's an anime store here! Anime and manga and a bunch of really cool posters and Queenie is a happy, happy otaku. There's also at least one small Asian market that we spotted. Do you know what this means? Sweet rice! Whoo hooo! Although we had to leave the rice cooker behind, but that's ok. I will learn how to cook it on the stove.
So! Progress report, such as it is.
Got the car and life insurance transferred. Rental insurance is staying under CO policies until such time as we move our stuff out. Since we're not formally renting, there's no need to change the coverage. Once we get our own place, the policy will cover stored goods, no matter where it's stored. I heart State Farm.
DMV was the quietest I had ever seen. Yay for small counties. We gathered the necessary paperwork and gave the DMV Wells Fargo's info so they can get the title. This process could take days and will cost over $100. Good news is we have the money, most of the fees are one time only shots dealing with inter-state transfers and the registration covers two years. Compare this with the $300+ CO wanted to register Sherzi for ONE year. Yep, I'm loving New York. Even more so because...
PCAP, the state pre-natal program, does not have residency requirements. ^_^ I have an appoitment on the 15th to go see them and get set up and they're sending me paperwork to fill out. I have all the necessary documents, except proof of pregnancy. *glances at tummy, now prominently rounded* Yeah, no official doctor's note confirming due date, which is what PCAP needs. I can fix this two ways. Call the clinic where I had the pregnancy confirmed and see if they'll fax over that particular record, or get an appointment with the Women's Health Center here. The appointment would be retro-paid once PCAP confirms I'm eligible. And there's the simple fact that I haven't seen a doctor at ALL. So I'm going with the latter. I intend to call them today and get in next week. I've been assured by everyone in the know that when I tell the clinic I haven't had any pre-natal care and I've already started the process with PCAP, they'll see me no problem.
Markl's registered for school, mostly. We need to take in some paperwork stating yes, we live at this address with relatives and they are happy to have us, and apparently there's one set of shots still not confirmed. I've called the kiddo's clinic and requested that info be faxed over, and the school itself has requested that with the records from Arkansas Elementary. He starts Monday, regardless. Everyone in the office was incredibly nice and Wolf kept having flashbacks, as this is his elementary school. I was feeling strangly nostalgic myself.
Today's goals are getting the rest of the DMV paperwork turned in, the school paperwork turned in, and calling for my appointment. Oh yes, and get gas. ^_^ Yes, it's more expensive out here, by about 40 cents, but it's still well below $3.00, so I'm not complaining. We'll also need to pick up some basic school supplies, as everything we bought in the fall was kept by Arkansas. Kiddo's got his backpack and lunch box and three folders. ^_^
I'd like to get registered with Kelly Temp services today, but still having the kiddo may prove difficult. Yes, Mother Alyce is willing to watch him, but we can wait until the next work week. At least I'll be able to say, Yes, I'm on call anytime, cause I don't have to worry about daycare! Whoot!
