Subject: RE: DECLUTTER: *Sorting *Health *Progress - 2025
Finished my running around after a hair trim, didn't go too crazy at Goodwill (I did send photos of a couple of things to my daughter, who declined both). Today while heading into a chain grocery store (my source of low-tech environmentally friendly dishwasher detergent powder in a cardboard box - no more pods) I saw on their door that my prescription plan is back doing business with them. A couple of years ago they dropped out of our insurance plan. I am not switching back now. It's enough fuss that some of my doctors may not want to fool with extra paperwork now that the big health system I've been with for years has done the same thing. (They parted ways in the mid-1990s but returned after a couple of years.) These companies play chicken and every now and then one of them dodges, picks up their marbles, and goes away for a while.

Major declutter this evening - I bit the bullet and filed the taxes. I used a credit card to make the payment, not sending my bank info. It was worse than ever this year, knowing it is probably vanishing into Musk's cruel enterprise. A postal money order would have cost less than the fee to process it, but it would have involved a trip to the bank and then to the post office. I wanted this misery over with. Now back to my writing to and calling the representatives who have allowed all of this to happen.
