    Thanks K for your post! Yes the A.C. unit has turned into it’s own little drama story!! LOL! Hopefully it will be straightened out soon. You are right, my Grandson doesn’t care fibber go anywhere as long as we spend time together. It’s about 22 degrees hotter in the city. Whoop! Where I live it has,been rainy and very cool at night. I feel the dream you had about your Mother means she is close to you!!! I hope that is reassuring!! Have a good day!

    I saw your post on i-did-it thread. Thank you for your support. I am finally feeling better since my last relapse. Although my finances aren’t back to 100%, I’m making it day by day. I had a little money for the city and I’ve stretched it pretty far. I was unable to take my Grandson anywhere but I explained to him that we would do something special the next time I came. He and I are spending time together and he said he was glad to see my face this morning when he woke up!!! We may go swimming when we come back from seeing my Daughter and Granddaughter this evening. Laura, my A.C. won’t be working when I come home. The warranty company replaced the outside unit , $4000 but wouldn’t replace the inside part, the air handler. Which is $3100. We are awaiting the new part that connects to my existing air handler. Then the job will be complete. Problem is, it’s 16 years old and they are having trouble finding It! The service guy said he may have to replace the coils but isn’t sure the home warranty will cover it. In the end, I may have to come up with some money. It’s very complicated. I’m dealing the best I can.

    My Grandsoon and I stayed up very late watching TV. He is still sleeping but I managed to wake up early. LOL! Today we have no plans except this evening when we see my Daughter and Granddaughter. I felt a bit of anxiety yesterday but I’m feeling better this morning. I really hope my A.C. issues are resolved next week so I can move forward.

    I connected with a good friend for breakfast and we talked non stop for 2 hours. She is 24 years older than me and a very wise woman. I picked up a few items for a spaghetti dinner for my Grandson. He had a emotional outburst yesterday before his Mom left for her trip. I think that puberty and hormones had a lot to do with it. Adolescence is not easy. My Daughter felt bad about leaving and has called several times. He has settled down and is calmer. We have a few plans this weekend! Even though my A.C. isn’t working yet, I’m so grateful that the water leak is repaired and I can stay in my home again. I haven’t had any gambling thoughts or urges. I’m finding that the last gambling episode took so much out of Me! I can’t do that again!

    Thanks Monica and i-did-it for your posts. My Daughter has left for her trip. It’s early here and my Grandson is still sleeping. He is still adjusting to 7th grade and a new school with new kids. I remember it was a hard time for my girls going through puberty. He and I played games last night and talked and snuggled. It was great! I’m going to meet a friend for breakfast and catch up on things with her. Knowing that I can stay in my house when I get home has taken a lot of anxiety from me!!!

    Hi Monica, it’s good to hear that the job is going ok. That is a lot of traveling back and forth though. It’s good that you were able to see your Daughter. I need to take your lead and get a job also. Thanks for your support and giving me motivation to face my challenges! Have a good day!

    Waiting for the plumbers. There will be a solution today even if it’s not what I want, the easiest solution! I might have to stay at my Mom’s house for a few months to save up the money for the deductible if I have to go through the insurance company. That will be a challenge as she has gotten mad at me twice for no reason???? This makes it more challenging and depressing. She knows I have no where else to go. Leaving for the city after the plumbers leave for 4 days eith my Grandson. A nice break! No gambling thoughts today!

    I’m feeling a little better today! I’m just very emotional! I had a few gambling urges last night. I made it through. My A.C. unit is being installed right now. I don’t handle things well when a lot of things are being thrown at me at once. It takes me awhile to sort out everything. Being overly stressed has been a main gambling trigger for me. Seeing my youngest Daughter and Grandkids will help put me in a more happy mood. Today I won’t take anything for granted. I am blessed in many ways.

    I’m not sleeping well. I woke very depressed and anxious. I’m not having gambling thoughts or urges. Just really in a bad place in my head. I’m praying that the work done on my house tomorrow and Thursday goes well. As for a job, I can’t accept anything till after September 5th as I have a cardiologist appointment for my annual checkup and yearly prescription renewal. The thoughts of being sued are also lingering in my head. I’m going to send any monies I can to them next month and show that I’m attempting to pay them. I can only do what I can do. What’s going to happen will happen. I feel like a burden right now!!! Trying to cope.

    Wednesday the new A.C. unit gets installed. Thursday morning the plumbers will be out. Then I’m off to the city. I’ve helped my Mother with a few projects around the house. I still feel dow but I’m trying to cope. I haven’t had any gambling thoughts, which has surprised me as stress is one of my triggers. I think that GA meetings and counseling is helping. I keep praying yo my higher power. I’m doing the best that I can.

    I do need to get a job, ASAP! I’ve committed to watching my Grandson , Thursday-monday. So I will be on the city! I’ve called my home warranty again and someone here in town should be calling me today about the water pipe. My home warranty will then determine if they will cover it. If not, I will get a quote from them and have to come up with the money. I’m staying with my Mother and she has been nice. I’ve had no gambling thoughts or urges. I’m just mentally trained and so tired. Trying to stay positive but it’s hard.
