Well, my R&R yesterday worked out so well yesterday that today I felt like tackling all of the finances associated with my knee surgery. I don't know about the rest of you, but I can be a real procrastinator when it comes to paper work. The envelopes from Mayo and from the insurance and from Medicare come in the mail and I promptly pile them into a neat pile on my desk awaiting the time when I feel like I can handle them. Today was that day! I am so grateful that the stars aligned - I had the energy and time and inclination to sort out all the financial stuff and now its organized, bills paid, checks deposited, all GOOD!!

@contentandwell - I don't want to leave this post w/o letting you know how thrilled I was to hear about your visit to your brother. I know that was an absolutely uplifting time for him and his wife and for you. It made me happy! Thanks for sharing.
