If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.
I hope you all have (or had) a wonderful day.
It was just the two of us here, but I’m always grateful for my connection with friends and family.
I’m also especially grateful for my apartment and that Andy and I have managed to keep our lifestyle this long. We don’t take that for granted. In September I wrote that I was going to start keeping it neat all the time instead of treating it as a beloved play pen that I could straighten up whenever I chose. It’s been over two months now, and that change has stuck.
I’m still having Merry Maids come in every other week to clean, and I have plenty of time for the things I love to do.
The other thing I’m grateful for is that Andy and I bought lifetime ambulance service. The two rides, first to the local hospital, the second to the Santa Fe to the hospital that would have treated my broken hip, should have been covered by Medicare. But my summary of claims for that time period didn’t say anything about ambulance rides. So I phoned the billing copany and told them that. The agent suggested I talk to Medicare. Nope, couldn’t happen. I had no claim number. They wouldn’t know what I was talking about… the billing company should resubmit the claim. The agent said they couldn’t do that. Say what? It happens all the time when something falls in crack. I was curious and was tempted to pursue it further, but decided not to spend time on it. I gave them my MASA Global number as third-party insurers, wrote a note about the transaction on the bill and will wait until I hear from them again to find out if there is anything more I can do.
We bought the ambulance insurance because if something happens to Andy up on the land it would be extremely expensive to get him emergency service and transportation. We didn’t expect me to be the one to use it, but it should save a lot of hassle now. I will let you know!
Again, Happy Thanksgiving!

Your place looks really nice! Happy Thanksgiving from all of us!
Thank you! I hope you all had a great day.
…ambulance insurance is new to me.
Some people need it more than others.
Happy Thanksgiving to you both! 🙂
Thanks! I hope you had a great day.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you. I hope you had a great day,
I didn’t know this insurance was a thing, but that sounds like a sound plan. Peace of mind is invaluable.
Yes!
I hope you have had a good day…I wish I were a neater person.
This neatness is new to me, but I’m glad I’m doing it.
Well, i hope the insurance claim goes through smoothly. Your apartment does look very neat. And I notice your piano perfectly matches the cabinets!! How did you spend Thanksgiving?
We don’t do anything differently. But we are grateful for what we have.
Good job on keeping things neat. I try but sometimes when i start crafting I let things go. Sounds frustrating with that ambulance bill.
Glad you had a good Thanksgiving.
I used to let things go when I was immersed in a project/solving a problem. It worked fine because when the time was right I would make things look neat again. When I broke my hip and was away from home for 45 days I realized I couldn’t guarantee I could always easily straighten things up again. That’s why I made the change. It seems to be working fine for me now.
that is perfect that you bought the insurance, I have never heard of that, and had no heard of pet insurance until my poor as dirt son, bought policy for all his pets. there must be insurance for everything.. I hope neither of you ever have to use the ambulance insurance again. and glad you had it this time
Thank you!
Best wishes always. Happy Thanksgiving.
God bless.
🙂
I am working on getting back to my organized self. You give me hope I will. It’s awful that the insurance company just puts you off like that.
Thank you!
You have a very nice place….I need to have someone come in and help me deep clean. The cost of an ambulance ride can be very costly so I am glad you all purchased the insurance coverage. My grandson was in a very bad wreck two years ago and he had to be care flighted to the hospital…$25,000.00. Thank goodness they had the insurance to cover this. Glad you all had a nice Thanksgiving…
Having someone do the deep cleaning was one of the best things I ever did. I’m glad your grandson had insurance!
I need my space to be neat and tidy or I become overwhelmed, so it usually stays tidy. Insurance seems to be designed to make money for the company and to make it as hard as possible for users/payers to obtain what they have in fact already paid for. Hope it gets sorted quickly.
Thank you!
It’s heartwarming to read about your gratitude for the little things, from your home to the practical decisions like the ambulance service. It’s the thoughtful changes that make such a big difference in our lives. Wishing you continued blessings and peace, both now and in the future! I just shared a blog post, let me know what you think.
I will try to find it.
Things definitely look neat and organized. I have started going around the house and working on cleaning rooms so that the house is in order all the time. That insurance sounds like a good idea. I hope you get it all figured out. I hope you Thanksgiving was a good day for you.
Thank you! I was perfectly happy when I got immersed in something and let things go, then cleaned up and made them look neat again. But now keeping them neat makes more sense .
MASA insurance is popular with people who live full time in RVs traveling the country since they never know where they might be when they need assistance. One friend was air-lifted to a hospital when he had a bad accident on an ATV out in the boonies. Fortunately, he was in the desert so the helicopter had no problem getting to him.
Yes! It makes great sense for some of us.
Oh, the joys and the distress of growing old, eh? It’s a b—h!
I’m with Andy Rooney, We. didn’t ask for it, but if people are lucky it will happen to them too.
