Everything Finished

I have housing inspection this afternoon between 12:30 and 4:30. I didn't have a lot to do, with having washed the kitchen floor yesterday, but there was still some tidying. I really didn't think I would be able to do it. I didn't go to the pool this morning because I could barely walk when I got up. My leg/hip joint hurt so bad, I could barely move. However, baby steps and a shower and I'm doing okay. Not great. However, it was enough to get the tidying done. I also lucked out when I went to take the garbage out. The maintenance gals were coming in and one volunteered to take it for me. Totally awesome of them. So, now everything is done except vacuuming and dusting, and I'm going to leave that until I can move a lot better than I am. At least I won't need to do any cleaning for a while to come. Though I know the complex will also have an inspection coming up because they are federally funded for low income. Last year it was done over three days, I think, and the apartments chosen at random during a one hour stretch of time. My apartment wasn't checked last year, but there's also this year. I already had the inspection by the office for anything that needed fixing, and everything was good then, so today's inspection should also go well. The maintenance gals were handing out rent renewals, which because I'm having my housing inspection today, is coming up the first of September. I saw the rent is going up, but not much. Today's inspection will also determine what my future rent portion will be. I'll get that notice from housing next week. I'm really hoping with being on Medicare as of next month that it goes down instead of up. I also got an e-mail from Social Services regarding Medicare, and the state funded help will take up to two months before it starts, so next month and August could be very low checks for me from Social Security. Something I'm definitely not looking forward to. Since I won't be cutting back on paying my bills, it means I'll be cutting back on my food shopping. No, I will not utilize the food pantries. What they give out is preservative heavy, and I have no wish or desire to go back to that or the junk food they offer. I'll stock up as best I can this month. I'm three months ahead with my Y membership, so I can skip those payments until the state funding for my Medicare kicks in. It's wonderful growing old. I also worked on Wilderness Challenge this morning between getting the apartment ready. That's what I've been up to this morning. How was your day? The noon siren just went off, so I can expect company in about half an hour. In the meantime, I'm going to check notifications. Thanks for reading.
