I called the local SS today and got great news from an AI message bot. The average amount of time to retrieve and process all my medical records so I can maybe get Disability, is only 200 to 230 days.

The cherry on top is that the monthly COLA goes up 2.5% starting this month, which for me is a whopping $36.

There's a local Services place nearby that deals with Medicare and Food Stamps that I'll walk over to this afternoon.

And here's the really good news, I managed to pick up four non-organic bananas at Publix today, for only five bucks!

Update: I just had one over my cereal for breakfast, and it was hard as a rock. I have concluded that most Publix fruit really sucks.
