Pay No Interest 'Til 2021

 I am reading my junk mail.
 


Gary is sleeping – a rarity these days - so I found myself with nothing to do.  And it’s dawned on me that taking care of him has become such an all-consuming task, that’s all I do.  All I am. 
 
I used to have hobbies.
 
I love theatre and went to New York whenever possible.  That is sadly not an option (for many reasons).
 
I used to read but I need glasses.  I bought some readers which helped a little but it’s still frustrating so until I get glasses, the ½-read books are going to stay that way.
 
Um…. and that’s it.
 
Oh, I have a bunch of stray cats that I feed.  One of them is still scared of me so I spend some time every day trying unsuccessfully to get him to trust me.  But I’m not sure that bothering stray animals with my love is a hobby so…
 
Junk mail it is.  Postcards for some Medicare Advantage plans.  A flyer about the great deal that awaits me if I trade in my car.  An offer from a credit card that’s interest-free for a year.  I think I’ll read that one again.
 
Because as it turns out, I too, have been interest-free for a y
ear.
