Monday as Leofwyna headed out with her passengers for Toli's funeral, I headed downtown to my appointment for my application for social security.  Turned out none of the paperwork I'd assembled was needed as 'Mike' mostly confirmed what he already had available on his computer.  My first check will come in January; I am retired.  As Jane and Angelo had come from California for the services the Doerrs held an open house in the evening so MagMor folk could visit with them.  There were folks I hadn't seen for some time myself.

Wednesday Bryan stp... major bummer but water under the bridge, adjustments will be made.  I took in recycling and watered the community garden before getting ready to go to philosophy night  I turned Leofwyna's cookies over to Natalya but I still have my bag of largess as Haldara wasn't there.

Just now I caught up with yesterday's dishes and cleaning up the kitchen.  It;s been a fairly productive day balancing the checkbook, finishing the tax returns and mowing the rest of the lawn (just before dark).  Now I'm ready for more rain to come through for my gardens, grass and trees. 

I was pleasantly surprised by the refund I'll be getting from both fed and state; I'll be putting the majority of it in the household account to give Leofwyna a break with the mortgage awhile.  I know she's been feeling a bit stressed by it lately.  I also put checks in the mail for the water heater and this quarter's health insurance.  The report that came this week from the retirement fund looks better due to apparently improved conditions so I'm encouraged that 66 looks doable for 100 percent.  If I could find work I'd hold out for 70 for the larger 168 percent but that doesn't look so likely just now but definitely something to be thinking about.

I noticed the jury I didn't sit in decided for guilty of manslaughter, which is what I'd probably have agreed with from what I've seen of the case.
