| My Hero! |
Today was a very good day starting
out with my getting the mail from the end of the driveway. It had my
statement from the Teacher's Retirement Board, finally! I raised the
flag up to full staff which had been lowered to honor the El Paso and
Dayton shootings. Had a quick bite to eat and printed out a dollar off
coupon for a haircut at Walmart's salon.
Went
to the Social Security office by 11am and the place was deserted so I
was waited on right away! Wow, how often does that happen? I let them
make copies of the Retirement Board's letter and also the official copy
of my marriage certificate and I was done. He said that I should receive
a letter from them in about 2 weeks stating what my exact benefit will
be in the future, but that I will receive my own SS check but not
Felix's for August. Whew!
Then
I got a nice haircut and a wash at the salon and went on to Market
Basket on Fort Eddy Road. I shopped for a couple of dozen eggs, and a
few other odds and ends. The biggie was to use the raincheck that we'd
gotten from them the day that Felix died. It was for 8 packages of
Wholly Guacamole! Yummy! I used the wonderful gift card that the Friday
Quilters had sent to me and was thrilled to only pay them $2.75 for all
my stuff! Thank you to all the quilters!!!
Got
home and found a message on my answering machine from my car insurance
agent who's a peach of a gal. She went over all the details of the
declaration sheet that had also arrived in the mail. I've opted for an
enhanced towing package that was only $2 more a year.
Got
home before my Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream melted, too! Oatmeal raisin
cookies, my favorites, were on the weekly special so I got two.
So I'm getting along pretty well doing the needful.

Sounds like the entire day was a win-win--thankful these items on your to do list are going smoothly
Vic, it is impressive the way you are staying busy and on top of things. It does sound like it was a good day in so many ways. I'll bet Felix is proud of you.
I am still not over the shock that you had no wait at the Social Security office.
glad you are keeping busy and settling things....
Vic, you are in my thoughts and prayers.
so nice that it was a good day for you during this trying time...
getting back up and running isn't easy...sending prayers...hugs, Julierose
Good for you, Ms. Victoria. Thank you for letting your many friends know how you're managing. 8-)))) Smiles sent to you, from across the country!
I've been wondering how you were doing. Sounds like you are making the best of things and have good friends to help you along. Quilters are the best! I know when my father died my mother could never figure out what to buy at the grocery store because she always bought the things that my Dad liked. It takes some adjustments I'm sure but it sounds like you're taking care of yourself too. That's very important.
Vic, you are in my prayers daily. Glad to hear that you're getting along okay and, slowly, doing what needs to be done to take care of yourself. Please know that prayers surround you for peace and strength. Hugs~
The busyness helps, doesn't it? Glad you are getting out and about.
