fog in the morning, sun in the afternoon

I’ve received five or six “No’s” or no responses from places of employment to which I have applied, including a funky neighborhood restaurant and a hardware store. Turns out that would allow me to qualify for Medi-Cal, I learned in a meeting about Medicare with a volunteer from a non-profit yesterday. Medi-Cal, I learned, would be the best bet as regards nearly no money having to be spent, including paying nothing monthly out of Social Security versus the standard $185 withdrawal. It would also mean accumulating no additional income to bounce me over the qualifying limit, meaning no job.

It’s surprising, to me, the no job thing is leaning me away from making the Medi-Cal choice. I’ve moved out of the Kaiser coverage area so I have to do something, and as of my two index fingers scooting over the keyboard now, I guess I’ll pick another Medicare Advantage plan – likely be assigned a doctor a distance away, as it seems there’s way less doctors up here on the central coast, keep paying the $185 deduction, and actually suit up and go to work again. It’s kind of weird, the whole mish mash in my head. Especially with no run on Buddy Cushman, Star Employee, opportunities.

In Zen it is said that not knowing is “most intimate.” That’s me all over this Friday morning.
