My “to do” list is getting shorter.  I have never done things on my own.  I got married at 18, I went to a boarding school for High School so went from my parents telling me what I could or could not do to a husband who told me what I could or could not do.   I of course had some say and often got my way but for the most part Norman directed the ship. Now I not only have to decided what to do but also do it myself.  I have never done business myself by phone or by email,  Norman always sat with me and told me what to do or at least agreed with me.  Now I have to do it all by myself and I am scared to death but I am getting it done and find I am not such a cluck as I thought I was. Yesterday Becca and I went down to see the eye doctor and got new glasses.  My eyes have not changed much but my glass were all bent out of shape and screeched so I am getting new one.  I got these back in 2004 so it sure was time for new ones.  However the blue berries are doing their job beautifully as my eye sight hasn’t changed with age, my retina is healthy and good and my pressure is good.  All the things Norman had trouble with, mine are fine.  Now I want to get a primary doctor and have a wellness check up to make use all is as good as it appears.  I have not had a wellness  check up ever and Medicare pays for them once a year so I think I should go just to be sure everything is working correctly.  I used to have an annual check up when I was working but for the last 20 years I only went to the doctor when I got into the poison ivy and I haven’t even done that for more than 13 years, so it is time.

Today I informed my self about making out my taxes.  I went over last years that Norman made out and made a list of everything I need in order to make out the taxes and what I needed to keep.  I never did it with him and I should have, now I have to do it myself or pay someone to do it for me.  Patty will help me if I run into trouble but I think I can do it.  This will be the last year for a joint claim but with no income outside of my IRA and annuities and retirement policies I think it is pretty straight forward.  I am sure I am not effected by the new tax laws as I don’t make enough to attract the notice of the IRS or to benefit from Trumps new rules.

I got a few more address changes done and now will wait and see if I missed anyone buy the mail that gets forwarded to me.

The new construction should start here in the next couple weeks.  As they start clearing the lot I’ll take pictures and you can follow the progress with me.  I want to watch every little change with the construction.  I  won’t try to change anything as I like the plans Tyler has and don’t want to mess up the contract but I can watch and ohhh and ahhhh about the whole thing.  Have a good day.  I will, the sun is shining and the air is warming up of what more could I want .
