Thinking back on what gone in my life since I last blog. I'm so glad nothing all that much really happens. Or let say it won't get me into no trouble.
Yesterday, my friend Lola from a long ago. I knew since before I start school. Well like most of who I know got married. Cyprus. We went to our senior center. Had spaghetti. And after we went over to the community thrift store. She found some tops and some pants. I was looking for some T-shirts for the granddaughter to do crafts when they come hear. Plus a different suitcase, that zipper worked better. I struck out. She was impressed with prices at the thrift store.
She brought up some goodies. Sure I had a few and once they was gone. I toss them in the trash. For the last couple o months I been regulating the sugar intake. Mostly things like cookies, cake and such. Not saying I will give it up complete. That not reality for me. So I give myself a so called goody every 3 days. More than half of the time I hold to it.
Murphy and I went to the senior center for lunch and there food give away. They had fried chicken, a choice of dark or light meat. I took a thigh. Plus they had with the fried chicken was potatoes and gravy, carrots, roll which I didn't have. Also they serve some mix berries.
We got three bags of food. Only three of the food items had price still on them which comes to total of $21.00 and there was other items breads, fruit, veggies, and can goods. So I'll multiply the $21.00 by 3 and figure that how much we got worth of food. Which is $63 and they have it on Tuesday and Friday.
Doing chores and such around the place. Let see what I did today. Sweep the floor, wipe down the counters, did load of wash and still need to dry it. Made the bed and mowed the lawn.
Start to crochet a rug for the bathroom. The one we use now is getting thin.
I'm not trying to put to much thought into it. Trying to figure out how Murphy and I can go down to Medford Oregon, the last half of October. And buy a lap top. At this time with us paying what Medicare doesn't cover for our medical bills. I know there under $500 at this point. But $500 is 43%. Paid off part of the $500 and still there Murphy Cataract and my boob reduction. I'm thankful for the medicare. Murphy has his surgery tomorrow 1:30 in the afternoon. With the medical bills I won't be doing both going to Medford and getting a new laptop. I don't want that much on my credit card with the medical bill hanging over us.
Coffee is on.
I hope Murphy's surgery goes well. It seems to have good outcomes and is not risky.
ReplyDeleteA well functioning laptop is a great idea... It makes shopping easier, keeps you in close contact with loved ones and provides good research on your favourite topics.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've been busy.
ReplyDeleteVery wise to not put too much on your credit card. My cat is named Lola.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea not to put too much on your credit card. I want to thank you for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Do you have Medicare Advantage Plans there? Mine here in Oregon helps me a lot. Is it your son in Medford? You've mentioned someone in comments, as it's where I live. Hope the cataract surgery goes well.
ReplyDeleteLove your senior center goodies
ReplyDeleteGreat to meet old schoolmates, right?
ReplyDeleteGood luck to hubby and the cataract surgery. I hope his experience is as good as mine was
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the surgery.
ReplyDeleteYou did well with the food shopping. I hope the cataract surgery is problem-free.
ReplyDeleteA couple of ideas, talk with https://doi.idaho.gov/SHIBA/ to see if there is any help with the co-pays and deductibles. I did work for the program in Kentucky in a previous life. If you use your computer primarily for web browsing, consider a Chromebook. I have a couple of them that I have bought for $200 or so (small 11 inch "school" models.") They are simple and rather robust.
ReplyDelete...I hope that things work out for you.
ReplyDeleteYou truly have a fantastic senior center. I second the Chromebook.
ReplyDeleteI wish our senior center was as good as yours. All the best to Murphy on his surgery day.
