Bet you thought I'd moved to another planet.

Well I didn't but I have been away for a long time.  It is now June 27, 2012 and a lot has happened.  I am not sure where to begin, but I will just start talking and finish when I run out of things to say. 
   I have stopped job hunting.  I am taking care of my Mom because she fell and broke her shoulder and her doctor said she should have live-in companionship.  It feels very strange not to get up and go to work someplace else.  Plus, now I am living in her house.  I am sure I will get used to it but for now, it feels very odd.  I love her very much, so together we will make it work out. 
   It turned out that even though I am not old enough to retire, and draw retirement money to live on, I was able to have access to my late husband's retirement because I am over 60 and a qualified widow.  That sure makes a difference in my lifestyle.  Indeed, something is better than nothing when it comes to income to live on.  I still have to buy health insurance through a private policy though because I am not yet old enough to apply for Medicare.  So that is very expensive.  Such is life -- it's only money -- no man is an island -- etc. and so on. 
   Well, its after midnight and I'm feeling pumpkinish. Goodnight for now.  More later.
