My Blog

I’m sitting here trying to remember everything I did this morning, and it turned out to be a pretty full little Biloxi day.

I started by stopping at the donut shop across the street from my new home. I had seen on the news last night that donut shops around Biloxi were giving out free donuts today, so naturally I had to check that out. When I asked, the lady gave me four free donut holes, but only after I bought a donut first. Fair enough. I added a cup of coffee to the deal, then headed into town on my trike.

My next stop was Planet Fitness. I’m trying to get things set up so I can use whatever senior benefits I’m eligible for, and they told me I needed a Medicare fitness pass. After spending the morning on the phone with Social Security, I found out it’s actually called SilverSneakers, not Silver Slippers. That sounds about right for me.

I ended up having a Zoom meeting with a nice young woman in Ohio, and she helped me get my new medical stuff set up. The only catch is that it won’t be ready until July 1, so I’ll have to be patient a little while longer.

Now Charlie, my Uber-driving roommate, just got home and he’s watching the news. I guess I’ll go say hi and see what’s happening in the world.
