With luck, I’m back to more regular posting. Life has been a bit chaotic, but a number of good things are going on right now. If I didn’t say it before, it appears that after three years the government has finally agreed that getting hit by lightning is disabling.
Still waiting on paperwork and other delights. It also may solve my insurance portability issue as I have been informed I have no choice but to go onto Medicaid. It’s a bit confusing right now as to when that happens and how, but hopefully sometime before that takes effect I will get all the proper paperwork. Anyone with any inputs on Medicaid, supplements, etc. let me know. The one thing I do know for sure is that my prescriptions are covered.
Still waiting for the final round of neural testing, and to hear back from the ENT. Hope to get both done before things shift. Will see.
As all the medical testing wraps up, looking at options on finding a new place to live locally. The previous reasons for staying here (medical primarily, and Church) still hold, and the insurance transfer won’t occur until some time next year. So, am finally starting to look around at options.
Quick word to all the real estate types who are using AI to handled chats, e-mail, etc.: It sucketh mightily and you need an option to get to a human rather than deal with a poorly coded AI system. I’m trying to talk with one place here where the AI keeps “intercepting” and responding to my e-mails even when a human is trying to get back to me.
Not rushing right now, as getting medical and disability issues taken care of is the primary goal. I want to take my time and see what happens on several fronts, so that I can be sure I’m making the best choices at that time. Besides, I’m hoping the housing market starts to settle down a bit here in the new year. It would be nice.
One of the places recommended to me as a possible place to move is a ‘senior living’ apartment complex. I’m not sure whether to be amused, insulted, or interested. My inner self still thinks I’m about 20, though the body just laughs.
As I mentioned before, I am getting to check out some preparedness items and want to get some posts up soon. Waiting to see if a few other things work out so I can add them to the mix as well.
Oh, I’m also experimenting with making my own beard oil and balm. The prices charged are outrageous IMO, especially as there is no such thing as a sampler anymore. First attempt went well, though my use of liquid smoke, almond extract, and rye whiskey for a faint scent may have backfired. It does smell good, but it also can smell like bacon cooking, which makes me hungry… Will post more on this later.
It is going to be a busy week, but hoping to get several posts up. Keeping my eye on things as best I can, a lot of what is going on seems to be various players pushing as hard as they can before Trump is sworn into office. That does indeed include Russia, China, and Iran. Here’s hoping no one does anything stupid there or here (hint, swamp and various rats are also pushing as hard as they can here as well).
More soon.
Getting hit by lightning is not fun! If you would like to help me in my recovery efforts, which include moving once we have medical issues cleared up, feel free to hit the fundraiser at A New Life on GiveSendGo, use the options in the Tip Jar in the upper right, or drop me a line to discuss other methods. There is also the Amazon Wish List in the Bard’s Jar. It is thanks to your gifts and prayers that I am still going. Thank you.
