I hate doctors' visits - especially when I receive bad news. Today, I found out that my blood pressure spiked, and that my doctor wants me to do daily monitoring. AARGH! It's hard enough for me to remember to take my medications in a timely manner....
But enough of that. After leaving the doctor, I went to BJ's to do some shopping, followed by a visit to Trader Joe's to buy some food for the week. And then, I had time to kill before this month's co-op board meeting.

Tonight's board meeting would be the first one with the site manager in training, and I was hoping that we could start off on the right foot. First, we had to interview an applicant to buy an apartment, and that went quickly. And then, we met with the new site manager. This time, things went quickly, as he understood what we were trying to do, and we understood what he was trying to say to us. What a change of tome from our prior meetings! After he left, we took care of some remaining co-op business, and ended the meeting in record time.
Next on my list of things to do would be applying for social security. As much as I expected that I'd have problems with the process, it went smoother than expected. For example, when I had to enter data in regard to my late wife, the application form made it easy for me to bypass data that I don't have anymore - such as her social security number. Now, I have to wait until money starts flowing into my checking account. Then, I'll deal with fixing the tax withholding on both my pension payments and my social security payments.

As I've said in other posts: Most of what goes on in a transgender person's life has nothing to do with being transgender. We still put our trousers on one leg at a time. But we also have to deal with other issues which would not have been expected for us if we were cisgender.
