Been talking to social security and social services a lot the last few weeks. Found out that I am getting a decent amount of my social security pension reinstated, my Medicaid is going to cover more than normal, and I have been approved for someone, once I get my own place, to come in and help me with laundry and cleaning once a week. Feels like I got quite a bit done over the last couple of weeks.

My knees have been acting up again. I found my knees get real aching in hot and humid weather. We are now in early summer here in Oklahoma. But Tylenol and forcing myself to move around seems to be the best treatment for the knees.

Supposed to get real hot this week. I mean like over 100 Fahrenheit, which I’m guessing is quite a bit over 40 Celsius. Sounds like typical Oklahoma summer. I think we are near the end of bad storm season down here. We’ve had lots of good rain lately. One thing I like about living in my parents house in the suburbs is all the birds and plants in the backyard. Since my parents don’t usually spray for bugs or weeds, we draw a lot of birds, butterflies, and bees. We even have a couple geckos. Since my parents are elderly, a couple guys come take care of the yard usually a few times a month.

I have been approved for low income housing. I am still waiting on a place that has easy wheelchair access. Since grocery delivery is now bigger than even 5 years ago, most places have some kind of delivery service. Now that I live in a suburb of a large city, I see Amazon trucks almost every day. Also see electric cars every time I travel around the city. Kind of feels like I officially joined the 2020s once I move to Oklahoma.
