Friday, March 14, 2025 – X-Rays and Bookkeeping, Sort Of

Hi Darlin',
Was up bright and early again, and headed out the door before 9:00 after chores and breakfast, to do some unnecessary things for the sake of my health insurance. They apparently won't consider an MRI until I've first had x-rays and physical therapy, so I figured rather than wait for them to deny approval, I'd just get it done asap. I finally found an imaging center that takes my insurance, CareFirst, so I headed over there, leaving a message at my doctor's to have them get them an order, which they did, but I still had to wait some time before getting it done. I didn't care, I just want to get this healing moving! Was nearly noon when I left there, but managed to get a PT appointment for next Wednesday, which wasn't easy. Got back to camp, chatted with Rick for a bit, he's brought over some trash receptacles that need painting, which I should be able to do next week, hopefully, then started trying to figure out what to do about my IRA. I finally figured out the reason why I was getting hit with penalty, apparently I'm not allowed to contribute to it with anything but "earned income," i.e. wages and salary, and since all my income now is from pensions and social security, which is considered "unearned income," I can't use that to fund an IRA. I don't know who makes up these crazy rules, it does nothing but discourage people from saving! Anyway, I chatted with my brokerage house and finally managed to make a plan to solve the problem, so hopefully I can get back to finishing my taxes one day next week. I'd do it tomorrow, but I'm going to take a chance and go riding tomorrow, I think. Anyway, finally settled down for the evening, lots of campers on the grounds today, walked around and said hi, then settled down for the evening, turning on the air conditioning, because, yeah, it's starting to get that warm down here. Heading to bed shortly! Good night, sweetheart! Love you!
