Another no-spend day. Three in a row. My goal is to keep going until Saturday.
In fact, I can report income today, because I found a penny! For some reason, I always like it better when it's a shiny one!
I got a call from Social Security yesterday asking when to start the Part B for Medicare. I said to start it on June 1. I don't know if that means I'll have to pay a little extra, but I'd rather have overlap than risk not being covered. After I get the Part B I'm going to apply for Medicare Advantage, which will cover both doctor visits and drugs.
I haven't applied for Social Security yet. I am within the 3-month window now, but I'm dithering about doing it online or going to the office. I want to be sure I will get the spousal benefit rather than my own, which I will switch to at age 70.
Talked to my friend yesterday, and she reminded me that if I drive to the play, my parking ticket will be validated by the theater. So I think I will drive rather than take the El. It will be safer, especially since we are staying in the city for dinner after the matinee.
I've been invited to a Memorial Day cookout, so I need to figure out what to bring, and how that will fit into my ten-items shopping. I'm leaning toward pasta salad, since it's cheap, and I have plenty of time to make it. And I already have most of the ingredients!
Did it Again!

I'd opt to take pasta salad to Memorial Day celebration since you have ingredients at hand, easy to make and take insurance ends, diarizing it on your phone or Day Timer. Should you need medical services early in your transition period, you'll need to emphasis the change to your provider during the first three or so visits since billing offices have such a hard time getting things right and change adds potential for another layer of problems.

Great NSD momentum. I'm trying to run errands, gas up car, shopping, even paying bills Thursdays, entertainment Friday's keeping NS Sundays to early dinner BBQ for friends and visitors.

I hear you on the problem of working with government agents. I'm just afraid the online service will force me to choose the benefit that is higher right now, and that's not what I want.
Everyone else, I am able to understand what Snafu is saying because I got the whole text in my email.
