Good morning! Well, I haven't been to the gym this week but I have walked everyday on the TM. I'm hoping to hit a trail today with temps in the upper 50s! Susan is doin well, she's gotten through her first week back at work and it's really been good for her. After Monday's initial wobble where I ended up driving her to and from work, she's driven herself to work everyday. I'll be on vacation next week and she's going to be house and critter sitting for me. But I do have Jeremy on back up in case she has another wobble.
Amy, how's the ankle? When do you get work on your tests? Any further news with the SSA?
Waving Hi! to Mo and Brenda!

Deb the ankle is better. But my knees and back sometimes are really painful. We had warm weather yesterday and I picked up an item from Amazon at whole food s night too bad a walk its uphill but take the best uphill rouge and then its downhill but it was windy. I bought a DAnvby apartemrtn sized dishwasher which I would like pay off by next month . Everyone gave it good reviews. I fav ea small file cabinet I can place it on rather than a counter. I hope it attaches to my faucet without the the aerator like my portable washing machine does. I get that the 16th,. And I bought walking shoes I will py off this month form qvc sketchers which have my 8.5 Wide shoes. I will pay that this month. I got a call from Milwaukee SSa today. A nice man interviewed me and he said Michael can pay my cable bill.and the spectrum is sending it to him. we are waiting for microfiche documents from 1976 and 1978. and the history of SSI payments. he said that could take 3 to 9 months. But he said I would not have to pay SSA any back payments. What I like about the ssi is ilife where 30 percent of income is your rent. But you get 280 in snap which is really good for me. I have a little credit with my utilities. I decided to eat 8 prunes a day while I have the dried prunes in my refrigerator. 8 a day seems good. have racconto whole pasta 8 ounces dy. half a can black beans and 8 tablespoons national yeast which is like cheese. So the would be 4 cans of blacks a week 4 whole wheat spaghettis and I have a store of nutritional yeast. it. is 25 points. I do have an appoint in person next month with SSA. my case manager Gus coming with me . and the customer service representative form Milwaukee said he will call if any material of the microfiches come in or the SSI payment history. So I faxed stuff to the oil and so that's why Milwaukee called me. send credi union history of what I have left In my accounts. And that was notarized. also I asked for a membership at Princeton here maybe in March which my long term program will apy. 30 40 dollar taxi coupon books for union cab, 35t for bus pass , and 40 for a broker who is good with budgets and accessing stuff., I also have the help of an elder specialist too from the county. So everyone apparently is waiting for some too the documents which I hope come in. Then I have to save 96 for next year's increase in rent cause my SSA went up 3.2 percent. And I pay 30 percent of my income for rent. But I have to not pay the utility in order to pay for 4 months of 96 as well as pay of the Danby apartment sized portable dish washer. The reason I got that is if something happens to Scott or I don't pay him anymore I would be able to wash my dishes. I could wash the floors with standing mop. and I can vacuum I have a good vacuum now. I can pay the 96 as long as I don't have the ssi yet. But I also got a back washe from Amazon. I have a bath cut and a good chair. so I step down once and then into the tub very easily. my calories are about 1400 . ooh I weighed 188 today when I got up. I am so happy about that. See Scott will not help do dishes every 3 days. So soon as I can attach this counter dishwasher I will place on a 2 draw file cabinet . I am hoping I can walk outside. And then it is hard to walk on my treadmill which is stored in the other room astanding up. I wouuldrahter go to Princeton where you can watch tv while doing it. I took an ALs gee test that was paid for with a partnership thing. if I have the particular 1 gene they medicine for I would be able to take that. but the person I saw said there are 30 gens and she said Imaybe I don't have any gene affected which would please me alot. I am off diet soda. I drink water. Scott always doubts me But he believes now. I drink black tea in the morning sometimes

I opened up the back washer stick it has 2 sides it so soft it long and you can fit it around the wrist. I am very happy I got that back washer. That will help me be more independent of Scott who is moody. if I can learn to use the dish washer as I did the washing machine I would be more independent. And if Michael pays my cable bill it may go up in September . But he will pay up to 190. And 9i have the cheapest where I pick my favorite channels on the list and get free ones and all government channels federal and state and city. Then I do not have to pick all sports channels. I picked paramount, ESPN 1 and 2 and then msnbc, can, animal planet, comedy channel, and hg tv and food network etc. it is the easiest program to afford however not fo rme when the tv goes to 50 a month plus taxes and broadcast fee. And get internet assist which is 25 but hat has been paid by the affordable internet form the pandemic and is ending and then the brodcast fee is another er 30 plus taxes plus 20 dollars for landline/fax I use. I really did not have headaches going off diet soda. I aam so happy I weigh 188. My goal by my birthday if I don't hurt myself, by April 20 ins to be in the 170s. Another thing I do sometimes wis walk up the 7 double flights of stairs in this building. I di a budget for when u hop documents come in for SSI. And then a budget otherwise. id o not want ssi in march at all. Cause I have pay offf the dishwasher and pay for 4 months of 96 . I will in March have 4 months paid of 96 a mon in saving . I am a month ahead in rent. Whenever I get a declaration of the SSI in month the next month my rent will be reduced. But since I am a month ahead , suppose I get it for April then in March I will know the amount and pay it for April cause I already paid the march rent. But I can pay the 96 if I get SSi so I want to ask for the $656 I sent to ssa. and that would pay for 6 more months of 96. But next month I want to pay 4 months of 96 minus 54 which I have in savings which is 330. And then I would in April if I don't get SSI pay 96 for may for rent. I sure how some of those documents are in microfiche. And SSa is being really nice to me now. that would rent I pay for November The 9 months is the estimation of the man from Milwaukee. So I need the $656 cashiers check that sent that month at least.

I just took trazone to fall asleep . I take 2 50s and it helps. my SSA survivor has beeen suspended and I am in step 2 of being eligible for SSI. If I got SSiE which I think I could get with Doctors at home, I would essentially pay what my rent is now this year combined with paying Russ if she accepts the letter my doctor wrote and subtracts 10 percent as she told me last year. next month I am going to ask my Tiffany my elder benfist how to open a stable account or my broker I have with iris .I cant put in Iris. But I need to say I was DISABLED BEFORE AGE 24 which its fine .

well igaibned at Super Bowl and Scott just fed ne a pice of the Super Bowl cake he kept. I hav eon black thing cup of tea a day. I got a letter that I would be told in 30 days whether I get Ssi and and that I should call if I redo not heat. nut they said I swore some things I never talked about. an elder specialist is calling me and social security together I sent the papers and my update I have 10 days to update that I never swore my brother did not send me 190 one mont this year an pay mge another. But I told them I did not know I was getting SSi that soon. I told them I reopened a stable account wit total 16 or 19 I foger and I am sending 120 there. That is a legal way for me g4et money both with SSi and hud . I showed 2 cashier checks one a refund and one a chasier check that SSa had never cashed so the credit union voided it, and put it in my account. I do not know if they got documents or talked to someone I mention who knew the truth aathat I got ssi after I was 22 and thatch knew I was not disabled before age 22.
