I am finally on Medicare! I turn 65 this month so my Medicare coverage begins today. It is a relief to get off of Affordable Health Care Coverage and their income policies. I am very grateful the AHCC was there though as it saved me thousands of dollars in insurance premiums. I still have to watch how much I make as I took early Social Security and have a limit as to how much I can make before they start taking back some of my Social Security income. Feels counterproductive to me but I have to play by the rules.
Decided which refrigerator to buy. I called the store and the guy that helped me yesterday is off today. Debating if I need to wait until tomorrow to order so he can get the commission. Probably will wait.
My two guests kinda checked out this morning and went off to paint. They left some things here and will be back later today to pick them up. I stripped their beds and am washing the sheets and towels but can’t clean their room until they pick up the rest of their stuff. No guests coming until Friday so have plenty of time to offer them this extra courtesy.
One handyman showed up this morning and finished the baseboard downstairs. The baseboard has been missing since December 2016. It is nice to finally have it replaced. Cross one project off my to-do list.
My nephew called looking for some odd jobs to do. I need to put on my thinking cap and see if there are any other projects I need done around here. I don’t always get someone so easily to do things around here.
Got two more bookings for August yesterday. Down to four days in August without guests booked. Still no bookings for September and beyond yet though. Maybe I am to take some time off this fall. I am thinking I will be ready for some time off soon.
Have lots more energy today. Getting some things done around the house easily today. Love when that happens! Sure wish I knew what causes my energy level to fade away some days. I can’t seem to pinpoint why it happens.
The heat is to return later this week. The ten-day forecast is calling for 90 degree plus days for the whole ten days. Yuck! I really enjoyed the cooler temperatures we have had the last several days. Unfortunately there is no rain in the forecast either. The yard greened up a bit with the bit of rain the prairie got the last two weeks. Won’t stay green long though if we don’t get some more rain soon.
Found my center place of joy today. So very grateful when that happens. Someday I will be able to find it upon demand. Someday…..
Grateful for being old enough to qualify for Medicare, grateful for my handyman completing a project, and grateful for dropping into my center place of joy today.
