146th New Thing - Opened a IRA with JPMorgan Chase

In the past, I had a 401(k) with my old company and rolled it over to an IRA at Invesco. A 401(k) is a type of retirement savings account in the US, which takes its name from subsection 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. An IRA (Individual Retirement Account) is a form of retirement plan that provides tax advantages for retirement savings in the US. A contributor can begin to withdraw funds after reaching the age of 59½ years for both the 401(k) and IRA. The money has been sitting with Invesco for a few years now and they have been taking out annual fees. Therefore, I decided to move the money to an Traditional IRA with JPMorgan Chase since I have other accounts open with them and they won't charge me any fees. I can add up to $5,000/year to this retirement account. I think this was a wise move of money. Hopefully, contributing to my retirement will allow me to retire at 59½ years old.

The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
