Some folks might think being a Septuagenarian is a life of idleness and ease. Au contraire! Busy Bee! Today for example:
a. Entered 3 printed & framed photographs to the Cary Photographic Artists Open Juried Exhibit. I’ll post them in a “Salon des Refuses” after juror rejection.
b. Cancelled a Blue Cross Blue Shield High Deductible Medicare Supplement that I’ve had forever and wasn’t paying attention to. I was their cash cow. Especially with the latest 33% rate increase. The vendor website is a Byzantine maze that Magellan couldn’t navigate. I finally surrendered to an actual live person chat to get it done.
c. Changed my long held Part D Medicare Drug Plan. The $32 per month 2026 rate was increasing to $51 for 2027. Changed to a $12 per month Plan that covers all my Tier 1 Med’s. The vendor website menus are another Gordian Knot to solve.
d. Got out a step stool and extended handle pruners to groom my Viburnum before the apt. complex landscape crew butchers it on “Mower & Blower Tuesdays”
e. Harvested a LOT of Basil from my kind upstairs neighbor’s garden. Tomorrow will be a pesto production afternoon! It freezes!
Next up, laundry! Argh!
