WEEKLY UPDATE 9/30/2012

Oh, crap! it isn't easy getting old. on Monday this week, I went for Medicare counseling. I’m going to be forced to make the decisions about all that stuff in a short time. do I need Part A & Part B? Do I need drug coverage? Do I need supplemental? and what will all this cost me? Too many options! why isn't it simple? why isn't it as easy as you sign up, you pay into it, and you're covered? The counseling I had wasn't that helpful. I believe she was actually paid by the government to convince me that the more coverage I pay for, the better off I’ll be. And she certainly showed her government training with her ability to avoid answering questions. I'm just going to have read a lot more, and then hold my finger over the list of options while blindfolded and choose.

Tuesday I began my first day of duties as a docent at Massie School. It was a bout as boring as I thought it was going to be. I did, however, have a couple of tourists ask for a tour, which is more than I thought I would get. I think I did ok with that, and most of the questions they had, I could answer because I already know quite a bit about the history of Savannah, and the way the city was planned. It didn't seem very interesting though, and I don't know if this will last long.

Thursday there was a meeting of Savannah chapter of the Victorian Society, of which I am a member. The “meeting” was held at the Massie, school, so for the second time this week, I drove to Calhoun Square. I didn't remember to take my camera, and I meant to get some photos to add to this e-mail that didn't work out. Luckily, however, I can report that I did remember where I had parked the car.

I did my MOW and my tours at DH. But that was just about all I felt like doing. In fact, I didn't even open the door on either Saturday or Sunday. I decided not to go to Coach's to watch the Bills game. Last week I didn't go because I didn't think I would need to watch the Bills beat the Browns. And this week, I didn't think I'd need to see them lose to the Patriots. That turned out to be a wise choice.

So, it was really a do-nothing week. But I'm getting to enjoy doing nothing, and it's quite easy.
