Well…normally, I don’t dwell on the past or do a summary one for the end of the year but I’m bored and thought I’d just talk a little bit and see what happens…it really has been an okay year other than crashing the bike….it was a little disappointing to not be able to find a house but I’ll get that done by summer of next year…am basically ready for that with the down payment in the bank and my credit almost repaired….so that was a little progress…and I did get my health checked out and found that I’m just old and have the normal stuff that happens when you age…but no colon cancer or any problems that need to be treated so, for being an old guy, that is pretty cool. I did get one thing checked off my bucket list with the trip to NYC and I am now thinking about what I want to do for next year…maybe a return to NYC or a new city? I can afford to do one trip next year but I’m not sure if I’ll need to use that money to fix the house when I get it…we’ll see when I finally find one…it has been okay living on SS for the past 18 months and I have been able to pay all of my bills and put some cash in the bank so that is cool…and I’m getting a 60 buck a month bump next month that will pay for the increase in Medicare that I signed up for and still leave 52 a month of it that will buy a week’s groceries…I guess what I’m saying is that life could be much worse and it’s time for football…so I’m going to get a pillow and lounge it out on the couch while I veg away the afternoon…no more later….
