Well, I made it to 65, and got my first Medicare check...along with a hard slap in the face by REALITY CHECK!!! Ouch! Somehow, I had the idea that a Medicare check was in addition to my Social Security check. NOOOO!!! I found out the hard way, with bouncing checks and bank overdraft fees all over the place. The fact is Medicare is taken out of my already meager Social Security check. I'm poor as a church mouse (wherever that adage came from), but, somehow, I will survive.
One thing that will help right away is that my old truck will soon be out of here. I am selling it to an environmental-conscious re-cycler of scrap metal. That feels good to my New Age spirit. It will feel good to be able to pay a bit of the overdrafts, too.
Without truck insurance, I just might make it. Or, if worse comes to worse, I suppose I could look for a walking-distance job. What a depressing thought! Ugh!! Oh well, another lesson, and Thank you Very Much ADD!!!
