I spent the morning on various chores, including changing the bed, washing sheets, doing a bleach wash and checking various financial matters. I'm getting ninety-two more dollars a month nore from Social Security in 2025, or $1,104. per year. Big whoops, as the kids say, as my rent will surely go up considerably more than that, however, I'm financially secure, so can't complain.
As he had requested, I sent Jim my phone number along with a get-well note, then walked the rent + utilities check to the office. Made a turkey stir-fry, which I haven't done in a while. I always make them with mostly vegetables and only about a quarter of the dish ground turkey. I made enough for three servings, two of which I stowed in the freezer, and I enjoyed one for dinner.
After that, I figured I deserved a respite, so packed my lunch and strolled out to the middle to eat it and continue reading my Joe DiMaggio book. I didn't get to that, though, because Lorraine saw me and sat down to chat. She's a little wifty--ten years younger than I am, but seems older; uses a lot of cliches; thinks management is out to get her; reveres the military, and so on, but I enjoy her company in small doses.
Ellen called to chat and then asked if I wanted to meet for lunch tomorrow, New Year's day. Nah, I told her I don't wanna, I'd rather sit at home and contemplate my lost youth--NOT! Of course, I enthusiastically agreed, and suggested The Lazy Dog in Oxnard, so it's a go. We'll also stop at WinCo and maybe a shop nearby I like.
Well, it's Christmas all over again. The device Mike sent came and here it is:
