Yesterday morning, once I was finished with my pt, I decided to walk over to a Rite Aid that's near by the pt office. I had with me an envelope with some coupons that expire soon, so I wanted to see if I could score any good deals. As I was walking up and down the store, I happened upon the aisles with the seasonal decorations. The fall decor was welcoming with its' warm colors and promise of cooler weather to come, the Halloween decorations were whimsical and fun to look at, and the Christmas...

I recently celebrated one year of retirement, and I have to say, I am enjoying life! I will admit, it took some time and adjustments, especially with receiving money once a month. For so many years I was paid a salary every two weeks. As a retiree, I receive a monthly annuity. About six years ago, when I became serious about this, I took a retirement course. Some of the financial planners had some really great advice, which I took to heart. So glad I did! One bit of advice was to try to pay...

So I'm practically a prisoner in my own home, due to tendonitis and I am going bonkers! X-rays showed calcification on my right Achilles heel and have been ordered to stay off my foot. Great!

If any were to expire soon that would have really upset me! This incident reminded...

Well, it's been so long since I've written anything. Much has happened in the way of life changes, health issues, etc. For starters, it's been 11 months since I've retired. I still can't believe I'm retired! It was a rather early retirement but because of my health, it was a no brainer. For the first few months, money was a little tight. After so many years of getting paid every 2 weeks, I now receive a monthly annuity. So I restructured my budgeting, and as a result, I find I have more control...

I would say that for the past year, maybe more, the coupon inserts we have been receving in my area have, for lack of a better word, stunk! I thought it was only myself, but upon numerous conversations with neighbors, friends and co-works, those who are coupon aficionados like me, feel as I do. Interesting enough, as the stores, both grocery and drugs, again in my area, have lifted their ban on accepting IP, I find myself printing more and more IP. In fact a couple of weeks ago, as I was standing...
