Need: Thanks so much. Not quite yet.

Finally some good news....we need a new roof and cannot put it off any longer. Got multiple estimates at the beginning of the week. I was starting to stress out thinking we were going to have deplete our savings to pay for the roof. My husband was talking about getting a home equity loan. We went and had our taxes done yesterday (to my surprise we didn’t have to drop off our paperwork this year!) and to our pleasant surprise, our state & federal refund is enough to pay for the new roof! What a relief! Also last year they changed the W-4 form and I think my husband filled it out wrong because way too much was deducted from his income every month (I’m talking over $1k too much!) but thank God his error worked out in our favor and not the other way around! Most people from what I have seen make the opposite mistake and the result is not enough taxes being held and then they are shocked when they owe at tax time! I am thanking my lucky stars that wasn’t us!

Cali one of the waiters I worked with opted to over contribute on his payroll tax deductions as his savings plan, I guess he didn't have the self discipline to save any other way. Yeah refunds!

Is unemployment fraud rampant everywhere? Here definitely. I received a letter today from the state saying my claim had been received. Of course I have made no such claim.

It is not generally obtainable with ease. My son has been trying for months to obtain it from NY. It generally requires most of a day to spend on the phone and that can be more than one day a week. They have told him he is eligible but he has still not received any payments.

We were giving my mom a bath today asked her why she was yelling, and she said it was on account of her buttocks. Where in the world did she get that word and how appropriate word for describing her bum pain, LOL.

I got my first Covid vaccine yesterday, only side effect right now is a sore arm where the shot was given. Glad #1 vaccine is over. My mother is getting her second Covid vaccine today. She did well with the first and only side effect was tired the next day and some muscle tightness and pain but subsided within an hour and no other problems. Hope this one goes well.

My husband got diagnosed with long-hauler Covid. He can’t seem to get rid the symptoms. Worn out, low grade fever, aches and pains. Doesn’t completely have senses of taste and smell. Lots of congestion. Worrisome.

Son seems to have fully recuperated.

So sorry, Bridger.

Same thing for my cousin in D.C.

He is seeing a pulmonologist now.

I feel for him. He lives alone. Never married.

I hope the majority of people get it.

bridger I am so sorry about your hub. I have ME/CFS/FM which, apparently, long hauler Covid resembles but without lung issues. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. There is research into long-hauler and hopefully something useful will come from that soon and also treatments. Meanwhile, he needs lots of rest.

EB - glad it went well.

Bridger, sorry to hear about your DH’s long covid. There is so much of this in the UK too, and various support groups have sprung up where sufferers can share stories and advice. I am hoping that as more research is done, there will be the right kind of help for sufferers. It sounds horribly debilitating. On a positive note, DH and I will get our first jabs on Sunday morning. It can’t come soon enough and I am quite emotional about it already!

I was in the ER two separate times on Wednesday, 3/10 for dizziness, elevated BP - second time, hubby had to carry me out of bed. Couldn't move a muscle. Had multiple blood works out of both arms, chest xray, head CT and COVID test (because second time I went I had 101° fever.) Little fluid on lungs - they said not concerning. I feel exhausted.

Pam: No clue other than turning 74. Since all tests were negative, no new rx meds nor specialists were given or recommended. Thank you.💛
