Dianah hope you got better sleep

Tweety glad the staffing was good

Stars glad that this new and different life is getting closer and the preparation continues

Yesterday was a long day. Left at 7am to drive down to the state capitol, which took about 3 hours. On the way down was wondering if this had been a good idea. Felt better once I got there, met up with my group. Had a rally and went to various legislator's offices. Initially we were only able to talk to assistants, but later in the day had better luck and met 2 legislators in person, including one of mine. After about 4 hours drove back home, thankfully was not too tired. Did some laundry and had some wine and relaxed

Today will be quieter. Will not be at church, will instead do the things I would have done yesterday had I been in town, bird watching and lunch with dad. Will also do the cooking for the week

Will be similar to yesterday, in the mid 70s with no rain expected

    Good morning!

    Congrats on complete the activism Joe!

    Stars, it looks like you're going to have to open your account in Florida first in order to have the SSI sent there and have the two bank accounts for a bit. It looks like you will be able to change the account your SSI goes into over the phone and some banks even do this for you. Do you use a debit card? You can use your debit card on your old bank while you're opening the new bank account and getting your SSI here. I know you're an old school girl but you might have to join 2026 for a bit, as getting a check cashed from an out of state bank won't be easy. LOL. It will all work out. I'm happy that you have this option. Your friends down there sound very welcoming.

    Hard to believe that in 3 years I myself will be getting an SSI check.

    Nothing much going on here. I slept until 9AM, which is late for me, after getting up at 6 to feed Waffles. I still have plenty of prepped food for today from my cooking frenzy on Wednesday and will go to the gym and not do much but read and maybe watch TV.

    We are just approaching Ketchikan, the last port of call before we return to Vancouver. Yesterday we we at Glacier Bay, taking in the magnificence of the glaciers and abundant wildlife. Most of the critters were too far away to get a clear pic with my phone. Below is my attempt to photograph sea otters. We attended an acrobatic show in the evening, then dined and enjoyed music at the Irish pub.

    Tweety, thanx for the info re banks and SS. I already have 2 banks, so 2 checking accounts here, and one debit card from my "newest" bank. I will be talking to both places this week, and may end up moving a bit earlier than when I have to 'vacate' in order to get things set up down there.

    Meanwhile I have to go to pick up some prescriptions; it is already 1 PM so I better get my hind-end moving!

    Then when I get back, more piddling, sorting, packing!! 😊

    Hello all!

    Joe, congrats on the activism, I'm sure it was interesting and I hope it made a difference to the legislators, that constituents were dedicated enough to approach them. Glad the drive was safe. I hope today is a nice rest day.

    Tweety, you have a good rest day too!

    nursej22, love love the photos! The views are so impressive! The photos remind me that there are many, many lovely and stunning spots around the world, and even in our own back yard areas, that we may enjoy (don't always have to schedule a cruise but sometimes ya gotta do it!). I'm glad you are enjoying the cruise! I hope the weather remains good for you.

    No Stars, it's good to read about your progress with The Move and Prep Before The Move! You seem to be calmly considering all options, and not freaking out! :) :)

    I slept better last night, after exercising while watching a Cadfael episode. Then I watched a couple old Superman episodes (they're always interesting, for costuming and scripts that reflect the manners and customs of the day). I also read some, and played Spider Solitaire. Today? Another grocery store run, and change sheets and towels (I washed them on Friday).

    Have a good afternoon and evening!
