This morning Social Security called me to complete my application for extra help with Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage.

In an earlier post I mentioned how it will cost those of us on Social Security without Medicaid or an HMO $3,475.00 in 2008. This is the great Bush prescription drug plan.

I filled out the application they sent all of us the first day it came in Oct and sent it back at once. Well, my income being crappy allows me the extra help.

This is wonderful news because i now can stay out of the HMO system and get my epidurals four times per year, without hassles and referrals.

Ain't being poor grand.

Ouch

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
