2014 Taxes signed sealed and on its way...



RELIEF!



Ours has been so much simpler these last several years since Hubby retired, eight now, but this year with paying for Obamacare we were not too sure on how to handle it…since it must be with the subsidies considered additional income, but…

You pay out of pocket for the premiums and it is usually nearly double what the actually subsidy is so it balances the “aid” out and you are still paying out more to comply with the new law, and good news as we found out today a refund happens!

Yes, we are receiving one, not enormous but slight. (It seems only fair with all the aggravation I went through and still am going through.)

Due to Obamacare and me having to pay out of pocket what I had to.


You see, previously Hubby’s pension had given us a choice to not take out from it during the year or take out and receive it back at the end, and so after being two years into it we opted for not taking the monies out monthly and therefore having more during the year but no little windfall at year’s end, so this was a nice surprise, a refund. For the last several years we had broken even not owing and not receiving a refund either.



Moving on…



My gland on my left side is becoming a bit more than annoying and since I do have a slight fear of going into any doctor’s office with my immune system pretty well compromised due to the MS so I have a bit of a dilemma.



This just in:

Hubby just came home with dinner; a full moon tonight means… you got that right! 1/2 price pizza pies from Bocca Lupo! Extra large pies usually $15.00 for 18” now $7.50 a piece, we buy two one to eat over two days usually and the other to freeze in increments of two slices a piece for some lunches or perhaps another dinner in the future.

Tonight Hubby chose an antipasto too, usually I go for the Greek but this is very nice too, a small which is really large and also lasts a couple of days is only five bucks, what a deal?



Actually, since Gus we have not been eating out as much, and do on occasion take some items home, so we have been saving on tips and or drinks when we do that and saving all around anyway.



Back to: my gland and that's only interesting to me ha, my health problem this time, any-who, my temperature is going in the other direction again, causing me to be cold, not due to a fever but because I have a below normal temp in the 97 degree range. Yep, thyroid comes to mind again; perhaps I need my thyroid medications tweaked again? The throat and all, but this is definitely a gland sort of behind my left ear but on my throat, the thyroid is more centered and lower in the throat area.



Oh well, maybe it will go away on its own?



On that note of I sure hope so…, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share those overages with you know who and we will too!



And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
