The constraints of being a Curmudgeon on health and welfare.

woman who was supposed to drive me to food bank had to cancel.

took me two and a half hours to walk to the next building. milk and cheese which i'm not supposed to have and unrefrigerated hamburger patties.

no word yet on mobility cart but quacks think there is insufficient bloodflow to my ffet. WHY am I so afraid to call it quits. got some cinnamon pecan roll to drown my diabetic troubles in.

at least the sugar will put me to sleep for awhile.

I'll bet they love you. Uber drivers
have told me they hate grocery
store runs, no money in it for
them.

Probably not unless they get a tip.

If you have to use Uber to go to
the store, a big tipper you ain't.
Take it from an ex cab driver,
grocery store runs are the worst.

Walked to the food bank, nearly collapsing with the effort.
Declined the two pounds of cheese and two containers of milk thanks to EvevBob's statements.
Got cheap spaghetti, a day old pie labeled Mince that turned out to be cherry pie, a sliced apple, a salad.
For four weeks!
nearly collapsed on the way back, had to be helped the last two hundred feet.

poverty is not fun.

Aren't you pushing 80? It seems like
about 2013 you said you were 72.

That seems high. I thought food stamps for one person were about $6 per day.
