Friday, December 31: New Year’s Eve 2021

Today I woke up a bit lethargic but I got myself up and had breakfast. I then talked on the phone for a little while and then had lunch. I had to Amy’s 

Enchiladas‘s. It’s  very good and very filling. Just then I got really really sleepy and took a nap for about 15 minutes. I was so tired I 
woke up 
with a little bit of 🤤 drool. I think quickly to some cat food and put away 

my Amazon fresh order in the refrigerator. Fortunately I was able to get 

the order before I left. I think the one 05+ which was a little bit late. I also got 

a hold of New Therapist to see. I’m gonna be seeing him on 19 January. It 

was a big news item today. Lynne‘s interviewing for jobs. I arrived and picked

 up some of the groceries that Lynne had bought at the Whole Foods. 

She said it was a madhouse and I can imagine on New Year’s Eve people thinking they’re having parties during a pandemic surge 😳😷. We took a walk for 45 min. It was cloudy 🌥 and

 mild out and was not rainy outside. Well we’re watching heartland in getting dinner ready. Depending mix causing problems as the year ends. Things  are getting  canceled and it’s complicating job search.

Thursday, December 30: Retirement, Slow Day & Ardmore

I set my alarm again for 9:30 and slowly got up and I mean very slowly. I got up ate breakfast. I got my nutrition bars and my ZIP card. 

So now until I get myself a car I am going I can rent a car for 3 to 4 hours rather than rent for the whole day. I do pay nine dollars a month for the privilege. 
I then printed  out information about PARSE. That stands for Pennsylvania Association of retired state employees. They have a group dental plan which
 I’m going to sign up for. They have the same dental

 coverage but instead of  $1750 of coverage there is $2000 per year in coverage . The total cost is about   $460  a year which comes out to about $39 a month. I’m going for the monthly plan  instead of paying 

 $460 at once. I really just took my sweet time doing everything. I got the

 printer to work by unplugging it and plugging it back in that seems to be a 

thing now. The laptop fits nicely on the desk and it’s nice to be able 
to use the laptop again. Anyhow I hate some lunch of some Indian food 

and then I took the Norristown high speed line because I had missed the buses. I’m supposed to get to her place by 3:15 PM I’m basically going to walk from the Norristown high speed line 

up the Ardmore House and I should be able to make it there with these by 3:15 PM.
Along the way, I got to take pictures of the path that we walk to most 

days of the week. You can feel the sun setting as of 3:08 PM which is the time now. Technically now the days are getting longer it really doesn’t feel like it. Why arrived 


around 3:22 PM. It’s nice to take a leisurely walk in the sunshine in the end of December. 

Lynne needed  To eat so we hung out at the house till about 4:30 PM. We’re

 going to pick up her car that’s with fixed to get the aftermarket rearview TV installed 

which is $325.00. That was almost top of what the product at self cost 

but those things are complicated with wiring and what not. We walked to the mechanic 

and got there about 5:20 PM. It took a while for them card system to 
work but it did. The device works pretty well it’s built into it we  rearview mirror. It’s now 6:05 PM we just got back to the Ardmore House. I forgot to mention that
 I am going to go to therapy via zoom and I’m looking for New Therapist and I called and left messages for them. It was very mild outside for sure. We’re gonna have

 something to eat and watch some shows I think. Maybe watching watching true crime story. We watched
 a movie about era Einhorn which was really good. Next we started watching a Netflix series called Mindhunter. It got a good review so we decided to start 

watching it. It’s now 8:08 PM taking a little break to feed the cat. This Mindhunter  show is really good 

it’s really quite intense and very graphic and stylized. Well I  walk 

to the Ardmore Junction train station.  I got there was about five minutes to spare Cortana respond high-speed line back to 69th St.

Wednesday December 29th: Returning State Computer 🖥

Good day. I got up at 9:30 after being really tired last night. I fortunate got up at around 5 AM and put quarters in and avoid you getting a ticket. I thank God up 

deleted as much personal information as possible and then started taking the computer apart. I had to return the computer back to 80 one market Street along 

with my ID card. . That was a trip. I had to turn on the computer to make sure it worked in front of her and signed a paper the car battery died but fortunately Lynne



 has a mini charger in her glove compartment I was able to jump the car.  I then drove straight from 801 Market St. to the Ardmore house. It’s 1:08 PM. I need a super coffee. They didn’t

 have any that I liked it to CVS. Well I went to Lynne‘s and got there around I don’t know what time was 1:00 PM. She shared me what she went through with the insurance 

company for an hour on the phone first thing in the morning. It didn’t sound like

 much fun. It’s 2:23 PM and we’re doing errands first we’re going to a physical therapy place 

to drop something off them or off the Whole Foods and then we’re gonna take a walk. The day to nicer 

as the day went on. Yes indeed we’re having a mild winter so far.  It’s weird this week I was off

 from work and my days have been very busy. I don’t know what the rest of 

retirement will look like but this week there’s so much that Hass to be done and doing stuff. I think this week is an exception to the general rule
 only because it’s right after Christmas in between new years. We also have this nasty variant going on. I really can’t  Randomly travel far and wide for a little while.  

Anyhow after we did our errands we did go out for our half hour walk each way so it’s about an hour walk and I noticed that the sunset really happens fast 

towards the end. Starting around 445 the darkness comes really really fast. Went back to my place in her place and I’m waiting for the bus now that’s 

her to shop at 5:36 according to Google maps it’s running “early“  well get you up early which is good I was glad it ran early because I’m pretty damn hungry.
do  not sure I want for dinner but Pat offered me dinner and exchange for me helping about pick up his butter cycle yesterday. I got my official acknowledgment

 of retirement letter today. I still have to do my financial disclosure form by next May even though I’ll be retired which is really bizarre I wouldn’t have

 guessed that. Well ended up I spilled my super coffee and I left a sled that’s 

pictured on the bus man that sucks. I then got home and made myself some lean cuisine. In fact I two leanquisings because I was hungry. I then talked on the phone for a while and continued my retirement planning stuff. I’m going to join the Pennsylvania‘s Association of retired state ploy ease and get a group dental plan through them. It’s with the same people united concordia.
