Getting Old Suck!


  Hello all, well here's the story for the week., Getting old suck! Oh so how was your July going so far? It hurts me physically and finally to but most physically. Has I have gotten older; my body seems to realize that it can now fall apart if it wants to. I went to the doctor, and now I have arthritis in the knee along with my other medical condition. Really, arthritis in the knees?  Don't old people get that?  I know I'm in my early 60s, but hey, I'm still young, right? Anyway, the pain in the knee hurts, but I've been doing exercises, and it's helped, along with taking tylenol for arthritis. When did I get old? Time goes so fast. Anyway, besides that, the property taxes were due this month, and I tell you, property taxes in New York is expensive, along with medical and everything else here. I need to move, but all my doctors are here. So, I'm stuck for the moment.

Did I ever mention to you that I have a gardener? I used to do the yard myself, but then with my health issues, it got to be too much. The garden came this week looking for payment from the last three months of 2024 and the first 6 months of 2025. I like to keep the payments with him up. I hate getting a big bill at the end of the season from him. If I could go back to saving money by doing my own yard which meant mowing, trimming the hedges, cutting down some bushes, all that physically tiring work, I would. I try and save money with him by keeping track of when he comes and doesn't come. That way I can tell him what I'm paying for and what I'm not paying for. I don't pay for now shows. It's bad enough he costs me $80 a month to do the basic mowing stuff. The only good part about my gardener is that he's a nice guy and does other lawn care stuff and doesn't charge me for it. That's and my health are the only reasons I still have him working for me. 

                                                   That's my story, what do you think?
