Tuesday, May 23, 2023 Mostly Sunny, Slight Breeze Warm 78 Degrees 2:36 p.m.

Today is laundry day. I postponed it from yesterday due to the repairman expected to repair the handle on the new stove. He came and had it repaired quickly. I, we were very thankful for that. So today I am doing what I normally do on Mondays and also the Tuesday duties which aren’t very much.

Tomorrow I am going to ride in to Knoxville with Tina and spend the day with Dottie. She is painting her front and back porches so I might be able to lend her a hand. It is always fun to visit and do what ever needs doing or just doing what ever we please. After Tina gets off work we plan on going to COSCO and getting what we need there. The weekend, being it is a holiday weekend, will be busier then usual we think. At this time, that is the plan.

No excitement around here, a very quiet day. Of course, doing laundry means I am up and down stairs so probably miss anything or anyone. I went through yesterday’s mail and will probably shred most of it.

I received a letter, which is an official Petition to the United States Congress stating that the Social Security Act NEEDS TO BE PASSED NOW! They want to phase out the earning cap on contributions to Social Security, extending the life of Social Security Trust Fund. Then they want to use the gains from the elimination of the earning cap to increase average Social Security benefits by about $2,400 per year. Adjusting the COLA formula that reflects the costs of goods and services typically used by older Americans, immediately helping Social Security beneficiaries meet their daily needs. So, is this a good idea or not?

Have a great rest of your Tuesday. Make it a thoughtful, energetic, positive, and fun day.
