Hi everybody!
Muggy as all get out today, which is not my favorite. NY is have a major uptick in Covid cases. The family of the cat and dog I care for all have Covid. For the dad, it’s his 3rd time. Their new less-than-a-month-old granddaughter also has Covid but she's doing well thankfully. We’re thinking the mom caught it while in the hospital. Sigh…. I’m nervous about my upcoming summer concerts. I will absolutely forgo them as I’d rather be out some money but not get Covid. I used to watch the news when they showed China and all the citizens wearing masks because of some viral outbreak and I used to think, “Poor people. Thankfully this won’t happen here.” I was so naïve. Anyway….. Today’s workouts: Jenny Ford Step and Weights – one of her live workouts from Amazon Tamilee’s Challenge – 3 sets of 10 Knee Tucks Bad Yogi’s Yoga for Hips and Hamstrings (15 mins) Afternoon: Mady Morrison’s 15 Min. Full Body Stretch | Daily Routine for Flexibility, Mobility & Relaxation – Day 7 I found this by accident and it was very nice and relaxing – no talking, nice music, which reminds me of the music used in several British PBS shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_tea8ZNk5A Pat: I’m so glad your stressful week is done! The dental insurance comes with the Highmark Medicare Advantage plan. The plan my husband has – and the one I plan on getting – gives him a $50 a month discount on the government’s Medicare plan. His Medicare costs us $120.10 I believe a month. With that savings, he opted for a good dental plan for $31 a month, which we paid a year upfront. It’s actually a good deal, especially if your dentist is in network (ours isn’t). Highmark, originally Blue Shield of NE NY, is a PPO and can be used anywhere in the country if one decides to travel. Right now, I have Highmark’s Obamacare Bronze plan and it’s $444.27 a month – I’m chomping at the bit to get on Medicare! Very high deductible and high out of pocket so Medicare is a much better deal. When you're ready, I'm happy to answer any questions. I used to work for Oxford Healthcare in the Spanish Medicare department. Things have changed but the basic Medicare has stayed pretty much the same. Summer Breeze: I didn’t know about your back issues. That truly sucks – it must feel like our bodies are betraying us. That’s how I felt after my stroke. All these aches and pains that go along with aging are sometimes hard to ignore but I’m trying. As Bette Davis said, “Aging is not for sissies”. Indeed. Still, you’re doing what you can and working around the issues. Good on you! As for “spring” being here, we’re going to have to put the A/C on tonight. I just want a couple of weeks without heat and A/C but Mother Nature has the final word. Waves to Donna and Pam! Have a great evening everyone!
