Saw an article about how low-income people are eating less and less fast food, because it has become too expensive. Low-income is below 45,000 per year. That is 2 and a half times my income. And yet, I make too much money for a lot of programs that are designed to help low income and disabled people. I may have mentioned that my soc sec increased I think 3.2 percent this year, so my food stamp benefits were cut by 20 percent. Your government at work. I’m not sure I understand the economics of this, but I do know that there are people in our government who resent the little I do get, and want to take it away. It matters who you vote for. It matters that you vote, because people always vote for the Red Guys, and the only way for the Blue guys to get more votes is for you to actually vote for them. People I have personally spoken to do not seem to understand this. Is US education THAT bad? I think so. Not voting is saying yes to the other guy. Go right ahead and take our benefits, take our freedoms, take our education, take our money. Take, take, take. They do give, but only to their rich friends, not us.

Those buds I showed you a picture of earlier in the month have still not opened. I think the trees are going to go right to leaves again this year. Last year I did not see one single flower. First time ever. Climate change. It is not a good thing. More bugs, longer allergy seasons, fun times.

My new organizer person came yesterday, and we redid some cupboards, to make items more accessible, as I no longer have enough strength to move heavier things for higher shelves. I tend to ‘all or nothing’ and she just said move some of these here, and then put those there, instead of just relocating entire shelves worth. Worked. Some bowls are on the glasses shelf, some glass measuring cups are where the bowls were. I can easily access everything I need, and the higher shelves have small light items only at the front so are easily reachable. Got rid of some things I never use, too. She is not a pro. She is just doing this because I asked for someone on NextDoor and she replied. She does a lot of good works. Drives people to dialysis, among other things. I really lucked out when I found her. She is becoming a friend, too, which is nice, cause I only have two couples as friends now. Very good friends, but not a lot of them. Which is fine. I am not really a people person, as I think I’ve probably mentioned several thousand times. 🙂

Ordered in. First time in a while, as it is too expensive now. But one place has good food at still reasonable prices, and I actually have cash on hand, so lunch. I usually only order for dinner, but I was hungry and too not together to do any lunch prep. Open package, eat contents. Works for me. I tip well, too, because they bring me food. What’s not to love? I used to order a lot from Papa Gino’s, cause you don’t need cash for that, but the quality of their food has fallen as the prices have risen. Not worth it. At all. Same with Chinese food now. So expensive, and not great quality, so not doing that again. There is a really good Indian place up the street, but I don’t think they deliver, so would have to use Door Dash or some such. Had a bad experience the one time I used Door Dash, so not eager to try it again.

Very fuzzy-headed and off balance today. Doctor says it is allergies. I take at least one allergy pill and use my inhaler at least once, every single day now. Did I mention climate change is fun? Nope. Enough rambling. It is finally warming up a bit. Was pretty chill there for several days. 55 right now. Yay. Be safe. Vote Blue. And all that jazz.
