Ahh,
Friday – and definitely a fall Friday. Even though it's warm out
there, there a real fall “feel” to the air. Even with the doors
and windows open, it makes me think of making a big pot of soup or
chili.
It
hasn't been a terribly exciting day. I did my normal housecleaning
and laundry, and we had to make a run to the dollar store to avoid a
TP crisis. Having a TP crisis is never a good thing.
My
mind is really in a quandary these days. I can't quite figure out how
I mentally feel like a teenager or young adult – yet my reality is
that I called the administrator of my retirement fund today to find
out the steps I need to get that started........next year. I need to
make an appointment with Social Security so I can talk with them
about starting Social Security payments..........next year.
When
hubby started receiving Social Security, he couldn't resist calling
his parents and saying, “Hello, this is your son on Social
Security”. I could hear the “oh, my” comments from the other
end of the phone!! (By the way, they now have two children old enough
to collect Social Security – and they're still active and busy.)
I
thought their phone call was quite cute. But I can't see myself
repeating it with my own mother......next year. Time does fly –
Mom, hubby and I were having a conversation recently about my
cousin's two sons. Hubby asked how old they were – Mom hesitated
and I could hear the brain cells churning. I immediately answered –
“they're 40 and 42”. I had to admit that I could remember that so
quickly because one was born just after I graduated high school and
the other right after I graduated college.
Oh,
and for anyone keeping track – I haven't made another attempt at
getting on the health care site. From the news reports on TV just
last night, it sounds like the bugs aren't out of the system. I still
have time, and I've worked with computers enough to know getting in a
hurry won't accomplish anything.
I'm
looking forward to a quiet Friday night and a good time with family
tomorrow. And I wish everyone a good weekend.
