On the road again

Went on an outing today to the doctor’s office/ health department so they could see that I was still uninsurable at a sum that would let us pay our other bills, like mortgage, electric, water, telephone, even groceries, and insurances for the house and the car and we passed the test to be allowed to use their services at a 17% percentage amount of the bill.
Apparently, some things like being honest with our actual income is tough and extremely personal; since I do believe we are managing rather well at fifty percent of my husband’s previous income with his small pension and early social security.
But I can see that what we manage on in some larger families would never be enough.
We are fortunate that we can pay our bills and I truly believe that having a dollar more than you need is just fine.
PS My carotid arteries were just fine, but I could be dealing with my old ailment hypoglycemia, so if it happens again I should go to the emergency to get checked either way due to my history.

We also went to our local Redneck tractor supply store to pick up our wild bird seed.
Then to lunch while we had a two hour wait between the financial report and the actual doctor’s appointment, oh excitement, oh fun! We must have travelled at least ten miles round trip today; we are down a quarter of a tank this month and the last time we filled up was on December 18th, I know this because I just checked.

Yesterday, my husband went out on his own to pick up all the hardy boards, subway tiles, cement and grout to fix my tub surround in our main bath; I call it mine since my hubby uses the other bathroom as his own too. It is getting real bad/unhealthy with mold oozing through the temporary vinyl sheets placed there; bleach too at all those large amounts can be too much of a good thing to use on this problem.
Anyway, the destruction should be starting this weekend.
My darling also cut out the bears and ivy for my stencils for the windows and wall project, the only stencil left is the waves for our windows.

We will be getting a cold front here; translation: in other words we will be getting low 70’s during the day, so sorry to the rest of our country!

Unfortunately, the state of Washington is having dreadful weather and is under a flood warning; I only mentioned this since it is where many of our in-laws live. We will be contacting them very soon to make sure they are OK.

Good night to all and to all take care of yourselves however you need to, and don’t be shy, be practical and logical, no shame in that.
