A Non-Busy Day

Today has been very laid back without going to the Y. I had a hair appointment, changed from noon to 11 AM, and needed to get essentials - toilet paper and water. I didn't know where I would get them but opted for Aldi. Which reminds me, they're still in the trunk of my car. So, now I'm looking my beautiful best. And I don't need anything more for a few days from the grocery store. I'm always hoping today will be the day I open the mailbox and find that letter from Housing for my rent for the next year. It will arrive one of these days, so why not today. We'll see and hope. If so, I can pay September's rent and then start thinking about groceries more than only essentials. Now to work on a book that I started working on before I left. You all have a great rest of your day. I will see you tomorrow. Was your Wednesday good? Thanks for reading.

That is a pretty picture! I would be so happy to have a garden like that. I hope you get your check!

I'm not waiting for a check, but a letter telling me what my rent portion for the next year will be. It's still not here. Thank you. It was taken at the Botanical Gardens last summer.

It's a good day for me as well. I'm doing laundry and picking up round the house for once, I'm letting water trickle in the area where I have peppermint growing and later I'll put the hose somewhere else.

My Medicare is state-paid because I'm on state aid. I don't know if other states do it, but Wisconsin does and I'm glad or I wouldn't have much of a SS check. Have they announced the pay raise for next year already?

@crazyhorseladycx That's less than this year. This year it was 2%. Yes, it is considering the cost of living also goes up twice that it seems so you're not getting ahead.

Wednesday is not good. We're experiencing heavy rains in the afternoon due to bad weather brought by tropical storm Hannah.

I'm sorry you had a bad weather day from Hannah. We had a tornado here later in the day. Lots of rain. So I know what you were feeling with all that rain. I've also been through a few typhoons when I lived on Guam, so I know the intensity of a tropical storm.
