Friday, April 20, 2018, 6:45:27 PM- FRIDAY!

Do I really need to add anything else? I think the one word says it all.

Sunday, April 15, 2018, 7:38:46 PM- Up and down

The temp is falling today. Two days ago it was 79 degrees and today it is 47 with rain.

In the mid-west, we rollercoaster until usually May...

Come on May!

Recently reconnected with an old high school crush on FB. She looks GOOOOOOOD!

Bad news is, even though we spend a lot of time "talking" daily, she's engaged, and I'm not the type (any more) to try to interfere.

Ah, life! You had me going there for a moment.

lol

Friday, April 13, 2018, 6:46:38 PM- Tooth update

So Monday I went to a new dentist, since my regular dentist (who is VERY good) is booked solid until June (yes, he's THAT good). All I needed was a filling replaced (chipped the old one).

After x-rays, he tried to talk me into having a crown placed on the tooth. Cost: $1,225.00. Since he was going to put a temporary filling in, I said o.k. There is still some pain and I can't chew solid foods on that side. My next appointment is the 23rd. Can't wait to see the look on his face when I tell him I've changed my mind and want the bugger pulled out instead.

I'm 65 years old and the tooth is in the back of my mouth, so no one will notice. I'm not vain enough to spend $1,225.00 for something no one will even see.

It will be our little secret, o.k.?

Sunday, April 8, 2018, 11:36:34 PM- So Far...

This year I have had the flu, and just when I thought I was getting over the flu I had a relapse. Then, bronchitis kicked in, leaving me with a nasty cough for two weeks.

After that, I got a sinus infection... 10 more days of fun (if you like pain). On top of that, I chipped a filling. Two more weeks From it happening to wait until I could get an appointment to have it replaced.

On Monday, I finally get in to get some relief. It will be nice to be able to eat solid food and sleep without constant pain.

One of the truly rare times I want the weekend to be over.

Hello Monday, my new friend!

Friday, April 6, 2018, 6:25:38 PM- Paid in Full

According to the IRS, I owed $3,775.00. The reason being that (get this) I received tax credits to lower my Health Care costs. I switched from Health Care to Medicare in August, when I turned 65. But (supposedly) because I made 400 times the poverty level to receive tax credits, I have to pay the tax credits back.

Last year, $13,000.00 working part time and received $9,000.00 from Social Security. Social security is non taxable as long as I don't earn over $16,000.00. How can $13,000.00 be 400 percent higher than the poverty level? Beats me, but I paid the amount they said I owed anyway.

My late Father always said that you can't fight city hall. True, and the U.S. government is a lot bigger.

So I grumble, but I comply. They sent Al Capone to prison for tax evasion and I am too old to serve time now.

Lesson learned and life goes on.

Sunday, April 1, 2018, 7:42:09 PM- Easter

1976

I should have died in a car crash on Easter morning. I rose from the dead, have lived my life and tried to be worthy of the second chance.

Peace and love to all this day... and always.

Saturday, March 31, 2018, 2:49:37 AM- I'm back (part deux)

Was told I had to work on Good Friday, so I showed up. Hardly anyone there at all, mostly office workers (27 out of 75). In and out in 2 hrs., mostly because I took two smoke breaks and talked to a supervisor for 20 minutes.

Waste of time and money. Oh! And my supervisor and the owner of the company were no shows.

(shakes head and throws up hands)
