Still spring

 

Turned mattress last night, woke without back pain. Wth? Is it the cortisone? I had to take the opportunity

 To do a tiny tiny bit of raking. Such perfect weather. Time for lunch ...arugula  & avocado salad. 

Start receiving SS and medicare this july. Not in anyway enough to live on. Will have to keep working...

 Till I hit the cut off point of The $23,400 you are allowed to make this year while getting the SS. My back is completely shot. Bad arthritis in neck and shoulders. Bad knee... Bad everything. I'm on patches. Not anything strong enough. Will be starting physical therapy soon. Can't sleep on my sides anymore. Lumbar spondylosis , not sue sp.. Irritated by 14 years of twisting, lifting in dish room. I have started online application for disability, which I guess can take years and several attempts ..  I used to think the "senior living in my van" videos were fake. . wow. . used to think the USA was great now the truth is just wow. I had retirement/divorce money in two tax free CDs but blew through those in my last, heavy-drinking-for-a-job years.
