I have a big decision to make but can't decide.
Due to medical issue I checked with my employer about retirement and was surprised to learn there are choices.
option 1: with medical issues (doesn't have to be work related injury)
option 2: without medical issues
I didn't know option 1 exists. Pension for option 1 is about 60-80% higher than the other. I'm leaning toward option 2 but will I ever regret later? Option 1 requires more paperwork like doc statement, lab, etc. and boss's statement. I hate to bother them and would feel embarrassed if I get denied. I was told if I'm denied then I can apply for option 2. This is similar to the stimulus checks or inheritance be it small or not where some people don't need/want. If you are in this situation which option would you choose and why?

Option 1, I could have retired on SSI disabilities but decided not to for many of the reason you site. It was a big mistake. I could sure sure that extra 400 dollars a month. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Try option 1.
 
Waiting for the window, etc washer to arrive - oops he just did. The cost is worth it to keep DH off ladders.

Normally breakfast isn’t until 9:30. Getting up to move outside furniture got the day off to too early of a start. How am I going to say I don’t have time to do the things I don’t want to do.
 

I was late getting my walk today, now going to work on the garden. Our second trash can finally got delivered today. He had a full truck of cans to deliver. Utah just got them in from Texas.

I am getting stitches removed from my left arm where a skin cancer was removed. When I changed the dressing last night that area looked good.

Well crap, they didn't get it all and I am scheduled for another surgery later this month. I guess this kind of thing happens so there is no point in me getting all riled up about it.
But LOL, I can sure think of other things that I would rather do.

Well, better to redo it then have the skin cancer. I assume it’s the type that spreads. My SIL had most of the skin removed from his back for his cancer, it was awful. Sorry this happened but just hang in there, as you pretty much said to me with my breast issue. 😂.

My needle biopsy is tomorrow, afterwards I have to stay for two hours with an ice pack on my titty, have you heard the expression “colder than a witches tit” 🤣, yup, mine will be apparently. 🙄😳🤪

Yep, "hang in there" that is all we can do, but at least we are in a mutual support mode here and I appreciate it.
Good luck with your needle biopsy tomorrow.
 
Today is going to be even warmer so I'll take doggie for another walk like today which was a longer one.

Doing a big load of laundry that's been getting bigger and bigger and today was the day I tackled it.

I may the dog for a ride to the park today as I've got my car back from the repair shop. She loves the park and we have not been there in forever it seems. You can see the lake there and there are some steps to sit on to look at the sunrises and sunsets. Only thing is it may be crowded there with everyone wanting to get outside while it's such nice weather--will be in the 80s today.
 
Have been practising driving my new electric wheelchairs and mobility scooter.

I was late coming down this morning and to my surprise my girlfriend had got breakfast ready. She’d set the table, plated up ham and cheese, boiled eggs, cut bread and made coffee all on her own.

Then later she fixed lunch - enchiladas on her own too, also for the first time without any help from me.

A big achievement for her because if you didn’t already know, she’s almost totally blind and has just a tiny blurred pinprick of vision left in one eye.

So proud of her.

Now we’re just taking things easy.

Locksmith finally got here about 5 hours after we called.

He didn't have the correct lock to put on which is a 3 bolt mortice, and because it's Saturday afternoon on a Covid day none of our trade stores are open ( roll-on Glorious freedom day Monday)... he's taken off the old lock and handles and frames,and replaced it with a single mortice lock until he can return next week...

Trying to keep puppy from eating spring flowers.
Coffee ground seems to work around my sprouting Lilly bulbs.

Wondering if that would keep the deer away from lilies that are further from house?

Clematis has leaves on top part of its vines .
Pup wants to chew the old stems of it.
Got a squirt of water in his face.

Are the Lily's in a part of the yard where the dog can't get to?
I read that some Lily's are toxic to dogs/cats.

Today is my day to wash sheets, and if they deliver the toilet repair parts that I ordered, I will be up to my elbows in the toilet bowl this afternoon.

Yesterday, was our weekly house cleaning day and I kept my standing date with Sally Miele the vacuum cleaner. Then, I got to go buy more coffee beans which is always pure "excitement."
