Unlike my departing adoptive granddaughter and her rescue dog, I didn’t get the “$250 Rent Discount Offer For Paying On The 1st of Each Month” as advertised in the apartment complex laundromat and included with a Lease Proposal in an Envelope slipped in her door. This was before the notice about the property becoming “Income Restricted”. No worries on my part as essentially, a pensioner aka USA Social Security with some Interest Income and Cash who is no longer required to file Tax Returns. It is, I think, a sweet spot for an aging artist who relishes the lack of timeline pressure and the luxury of time to think and write. And having successfully defended my wildly blossoming Viburnum that separates me from a Neon Green Dumpster, I can absorb a 1% rent increase. I figure my cost to move would pre-pay my Cremation and Remains Disposition ( 3 miles off Hatteras). Making life and death simple. Six month routine Doctor appointment tomorrow. My only concern is a new joke for the young lady who checks me out, she’s heard all my old ones i.e. “The Doctor recommended I only buy one roll of toilet paper at a time”. 😉
