I got what I needed

            SATURDAY 1/11/2020 2:30 PM-Diane and I went to the Unique  thrift shop… I needed a few pairs of jeans to replace the pairs of jeans that I have that are in way less than pristine condition... I found four pair that fit, and three of them make my legs look relatively thin – that’s my vanity talking, but I don’t care… Dianne  is going to pay for them today and I will pay her back on Wednesday... I glanced at the books, but then decided to get away from them as fast as I could...I hope to be back in bed by 3:30 or so…
   6:25 PM--I was in bed by 4 and slept until 6, when the alarm went off...Reluctantly, I'm having hot dogs for Dinner...I have nothing I could have used as an appetizer, so a cheese and baloney sandwich later seems likely...
7:33 PM--If my financial situation was better, maybe I'd consider going out somewhere...I think I'm recovered from last night's gig...Dianne (who has been diagnosed with what used to be called "mononucleosis"-the kissing disease) says I don't have the Epstein-Barr virus-the modern name for it...I'm not as constantly tired as she seems to be...she is a bit stressed out over stuff that's going on at her job, that may be a factor...
       To my surprise, I have an appointment with Dr. Malinsky on Monday morning...that's a good thing, but what I think I NEED is an appointment with Dr. Borelli...I haven't seen her in quite awhile...I have three Xanax left...
8:55PM--seriously considering applying to ALDI, the Germantown store is allegedly looking for PTmers...hard to believe they pay $14.70 an hour...by my calculations, I can't work more than 25 hours a week, if that much...but twenty hours at roughly $10 an hour (after taxes?) I can certainly use approximately $200 a week in addition to the SSA monthly checks...my benefits are reduced by $1 for every $2 I earn over the limit which is $1470 per month...so (I think) if I earn $1500 per month working at Aldi, that's $30...so (I think) my monthly benefits would be reduced by $15 dollars...theoretically, I could live with that, IF my Math is accurate...and my Math skills have always been rather shaky...
   Well, I'll look into it on Monday, after my appointment with Dr. Malinsky...
7:44 PM--and I have to figure out what goes on with Medicare, as opposed to MediCAID...if I don't look into it tonight, I'll look into it sometime Monday...or Tuesday, or Wednesday or...
9:15 PM-GEICO Took their $88.15 which leaves me with $32 in my checking account… And if the easy pass people take $25 in the next day or so that leaves me with seven dollars... I have $32 in my pocket; that’s $16 per day for Monday and Tuesday…It’s going to be close, but I think I’ll be OK… I have a half a tank of gas which should last until Wednesday morning…
