I am over the moon happy today and may it last. First of all the SSI papers came in and I took them to the accountant. I was just on pins and needles thinking they would not come. The office thought they would be here last Thursday. Then is was Friday and Saturday and the mail must have come really late last evening, as they were in the box at 7:30 this morning.
I went to my specialists appointment and my blood work was great! I also talked to him about my meds and how I was afraid medicare would not pay for them once I am off the State insurance. He said he would make a strong case for me to stay on the same meds, but that there were infusions that would work just as well that medicare would pay for. The fact that I have the convenience of a pill once a day was nice, but other meds although not as convenient also worked well. This made me feel better about the situation.On the way home from the doctor, I stopped and made a nail appointment for tomorrow evening.
Last night I did not get to sewing until after 8 p.m. But I was able to get the 9 pairs of pants done and the three blouses and almost all of one wedding dress done. At 11:30 I was just too tired to finish. I still have some bustling buttons and hooks to put on the dress and then I need to press it.
Today I will finish two other wedding dresses and select at least two more to start and also get two prom dresses done. I also will straighten the shop before starting the Native american skirts as they are a messy project with ribbon everywhere.
I am going to get my ironing done tonight. I will do it in front of the TV and watch something to make the time go by.
I forgot to tell you yesterday that I had two large bags of apples that I needed to do something with as they would go bad. So Saturday night when watching TV with Hubs I peeled/sliced 5 lbs of granny smith apples and soaked them in fruit fresh and then froze them for pies later. I also had 5 lbs of red apples, and I peeled and cored these and cooked them down into applesauce. It made 3 large containers for the freezer. These were free apples from my freinds job at the food bank. Free is free and we will enjoy these later. I was really tired of peeling apples after this project was done.
When I went out to feed the chickens today I was wearing red clogs and they kept trying to eat them. Note to self: Don't feed chickens in sandals with red toenail polish.
Well I had better get busy, I have a self imposed quota to finish. Do you ever give yourself quotas? Like you have to get this much done before you eat any more candy?
Have a great and productive day staying positive while you are int the negative.

Glad your items came in time and glad you had a good check-up. It seems we worry about things that never come to pass. Too bad we don't learn that! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou sound busy, busy.
I know, all the times I have worried about something I did not have to worry about, I think it is human nature. I am very busy, but I keep telling myself I am blessed with work. And I am.
DeleteOne of my chickens pecked most of my little toe off. My rule was never wear sandals. Cover the toes! Even without nail polish, they must look like tasty worms. You can get more done all by yourself. And, there are no frustrating questions and disruptions.
ReplyDeleteOh you are so right. Yes I learned never to go into the coop with sandal on. Chickens are so funny they do have personalities.
DeleteWhew, glad you got the paperwork you needed and that the doctor set your mind at rest about your prescriptions.
ReplyDeleteMy, you got a great deal of work done in a short period of time.
God bless.
Well It is the 1 million hour rule. After you have done something for 1 million hours you become very good at it and fast.
DeleteCongrats on the SSI stuff! That is awesome. Like Cheryl mentioned, I too stress about things for no reason, and somehow....I never learn what a waste of energy it is.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true. When are we going to learn? I remember one of my nephews got a girl pregnant and they were having a shot gun wedding. We were all stressing about telling the Matriarch grandmother about the upcoming nuptials. His mom was crying, and we were all stressed about how to do this and when we finally told this 90 year old woman what was going to happen, she said, "well it is about time we had a shot gun wedding in this family, it will keep us humble!". That was it. No judgement, no wrath. I guess in 90 years of living one learns to stress over what really matters. We should take a page...
DeleteI have self imposed quotas every day. Fortunately I am very good at ignoring them so I can feed my book habit unencumbered.
ReplyDeleteOh Anne I remember reading when the kids were growing up and they would all say, "Mom has a new book..." that meant no dinner, laundry, whatever.
DeleteMy friend just went on Medicare, she was on biologic. They only pay for infusion every 6 wks. She could have got one biologic for $1800 a month. Humira is over $5000(she asked because she knew I take it) She is going without even though her husband said they could afford the $1800 and she doesn't want the infusion because it would mess up how she lives her life (he said it really wouldn't) She was head nurse at Nursing home and watched a lot of them go broke and have to leave the home due to lack of money. He thinks that is what is driving her.
ReplyDeleteWell, I do know that different parts of the country have different set ups, but here in Idaho where the population is not so high and our state has more funds it is a little better. It is unfortunate that these drugs that are so needed are so exspensive.
DeleteYAY on the good blood work and checkup. That is always a good feeling. It is so much easier to get a lot done when you have the house to your self isn't it?
ReplyDeleteHere's to another productive day my friend!!
It is and I cannot figure out why, because Hubs is pretty darn good at leaving me alone. Although I do stop and cook dinner. I think that stops the momentum into the evening.
