The first thing I looked up was what credit in social security means. Is it a time unit, monetary unit, or both? It is more or less a monetary unit. In my working life, my wages have been on a lower-end scale. Last year (2022), I paid about $1400 in social security tax. So I never earned full credit last year. If you are curious about how are social security, CLICK HERE.
Last Wednesday evening, a few of us artists. I can call myself an artist. But I like the word creative soul. We all did a fish picture. Here is mine. I was the only one who put the bottom of the boat and fish line with a hook in the water.
We have a wonderful art studio in our community, TEASCARLETT, now. She has done two collaboratives I know. And I add my thing to it. On this one, I add the spaceship with the ribbon, “Welcome, be happy.” I would like to see a JUDY CHICAGO art collaborative. But I don’t see her coming to Spokane even.
Murphy and I went to town. Had lunch there. Let’s see, we had turkey rap, mac and cheese. I didn’t take a complete service. Plus, some fresh veggies. And Rhubarb pie.
I went through my books and took them to the senior center. At first, I would drop them off at a local thrift store. But I change my mind.
As I was going through my books. I asked myself, “Can I get this book at a library” and most of the time, the answer was. “Yes.”
We paid vehicle insurance. I got some meat, 3 packages of it. The bill came to $21 and some odd cents.
As we were walking out of the store. I saw the head photo on THE INLANDER. Last year during the Pride event in Coeur d Alene, there was a reputation during the 2022 PRIDE EVENT. Those involved with rucksacks never showed up to court. Far as I know. This year, the pride event was quiet. Over the weekend, I will read the inlander.
I have participated in a reading challenge to raise money for the EPILESPSY foundation. I’m unsure if they have a regular web page for the reading challenge. But I have a personal FACEBOOK PAGE. I found another reading fundraiser, READ EVERYDAY IN JULY. It also connects with Facebook, and funds raised will go to the American Cancer Society. In the past, I took part in THE TREVOR READING CHALLENGE. Looks like it is in August.
I searched for a fundraiser that I could be involved in by reading. I’m sure there are ones other than
June, July, and August.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.
...continue to be a creative soul.

Love your painting. It's good that you join in so many events in your community, great idea. Have a great weekend, Valerie
ReplyDeleteGreat painting,
ReplyDeleteIt's a wonderful thing to be involved in challenges, especially fundraisers. It's too bad the Social Security system can be so complicated - it can be hard to understand. I suspect enough people don't get all the benefits, or the maximum benefit, they are entitled to. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

Artist or creative soul. Both work.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand a lot about SS but I get twice as much as you say you will get and I didn't work that great of jobs either in my life, except for the fish cannery, which paid well if you worked overtime and holidays.
ReplyDeleteYour art is fun.
