Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 8 Nov

I never responded to the first juror questionnaire that was made out to my old name and address. I came to my mom’s house today to find a second notice. I called the number and asked them if I have to fill it out even though I’ve...

Progress with gas account

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 7 Nov

I logged on to my mom’s gas account online. It no longer says to pay $129.02 that I never paid because of the estimate reading issue. Instead, I see a credit of $246.29. Won’t know exactly why the credit amount is this much until...

A dead person getting a juror questionnaire

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 3 Nov

My dad has been gone for about 2.5 years and yet he recently received a juror questionnaire. Granted he passed away in NJ and not NY where he lived but still. That shouldn’t matter. They should be aware that he...

No one showed up

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 1 Nov

No one showed up to change the gas meter at my mom’s house today. I called the gas company to find out what’s going on and if someone will still show up. The lady I spoke with checked things on her end and said that instead of a...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 29 Oct

My mom got a new (National Grid) gas bill for $129.02, which was generated October 9th. Though someone came to look at the meter on October 4th, the billing period for this bill ends on October 2nd and not on October 4th. And...

Harris didn’t even make it past the first round when running for president in 2020 and yet she was chosen as the VP. And now, four years later, she was instated as the top presidential nominee for president. She never ran for...

Went to the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. Tens of thousands waiting in line for hours to get in. Thankfully we managed to get inside. Before they let us go into the venue we had to go through a checkpoint. We had to...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 25 Oct

I decided to watch an episode of NCIS while having breakfast. Since I’m watching it on DVR and it’s one recording after another, the end of an episode gets cut off and I have to start watching the next episode to catch the end of...

Reading memoirs

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 24 Oct

I don’t usually do that but I decided to read some memoirs. I recently read Jennifer Grey’s memoir Out of the Corner. It was interesting to read about her life and her time filming Dirty Dancing. I found out that she was in a...

We chose our window blinds

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 17 Oct

We finally decided on the blinds. Hunter Douglas is who we picked. We chose not to do the blinds in the bedrooms for now, as they still have old ones, and only do them for sliding door and windows that are bare. Four windows and...

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 15 Oct

My mom got a new (National Grid) gas bill for $129.02, which is high. I thought it would just be for the Sep - Oct billing cycle and I assumed she wouldn't need to pay anything because the new bill amount would be less than the...

Turns out I way overpaid for Bounty

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 14 Oct

I was low on Bounty paper towels. Looked online and found a 12-roll pack of family size Bounty—which is what I usually get—at $2 off on Amazon. It was $33.49 instead of $35.49. And that’s not counting tax. I couldn’t seem to...

Can binge watch NCIS again

Lena Kovadlo @lovebuglena (44524) • Staten Island, New York 10 Oct

When Netflix removed the first eleven seasons of NCIS from its streaming service I didn’t think I’d be able to continue binge watching the show. I was only able to finish the first three seasons. The show airs on TV on different...
