    OMG! Major eater pipe burst in my bathroom! I turned off the water meter by street. Just what I needed. Insurance-$1500 deductible. What know?

    Monica, I hope the Epsom salt help! Thank you again for your support. I really, really needed it! I feel like I’m getting back to my old self again. Not so down as before. It’s such a relief to have friends here like yourself who do not judge and who use their experiences to help. I hope you feel better soon!

    I spent part of the day at my Mother’s, helping her with some things around the house. She surprised me by saying that she would miss me while I am in the city Thursday thru Monday. I am trying to overlook and ignore things she says that really agitate me as I know that one day she’ll be gone and I would miss her. I’m sore from the yard work and am using a heating pad on my left shoulder. The heat wasn’t bad today. Tomorrow is church. Looking forward to it!

    Big sriem last night. Cooled off quit a bit so I slept with Windows opened. I pulled weeds for 3 hours and 1/2 if my back yard is done. Heading to the library. Going to convert my Granddaughter’s crib to a toddlers bed. Vera, I am feeling more upbeat. I just have a long haul in front of me. No screw ups allowed.

    I attended my GA meeting today. I feel support thete but no real connections yet. I stopped and had a cold raspberry tea before I came back home. I came home and did a load of laundry and lo and behold thete was a dried, wrinkly $20 bill among the clothed. It must have been in my pocket. Now, it’s tucked away neatly in my wallet. I enjoyed some homemade pickles my Sister made. It’s going to be a early night. I can sleep tonight.

    I didn’t sleep well last night. I set my alarm and got up and dealt with my creditors (not the one who wants to sue me). I’ve see up 2 repaymwnt plans. They were understanding. Monica, this is it. No more gambling! I’ve made promises and I have to do the right thing. It’s going to be hard but I can manage. Gett ing ready for my trip to GA. I picked a few peaches off my tree for breakfast. I feel a ray of hope now! Thanks Monica for sticking with me!

    I can’t sleep. I’m scared, anxious and nervous. Tomorrow, I’m calling about 2 bills that I’m chronically late paying. I want the companies to help me find a solution. I want to live in truth. No more lies and excuses. I can’t keep living like that. Time to put my big girl panties on and start acting like a adult. No matter how tough it gets, How tight money is, I won’t falter! .I will keep my course. The alternative is too depressing.

    Monica, I’ve always had dental issues. I didn’t get implants but wish I had. I sold things that I really liked: a lamp. 2 quilts and some perfume bottles from my collection. It was hard parting with them but it will be alright. Not much more to sell
    My A.C. unit will be installed next Wednesday. We atre expecting rain so it may be delayed. Believe it or not but I opened up to my Mother about my addiction, ect. She was very understanding and even said that she thought she had a gambling addiction. I would not be able to talk to her all the time because of her mood swings but she did comfort and validate me. GA tomorrow. Yes Monica, we have to persist in our recovery.

    Monica, you are so right. I’ve gained back 10 pounds I had lost. I need a haircut. But I never dyed my hair because the grays blend in with my blonde hair. I’ve stopped wearing make up as it’s too hot and I’m too lazy to apply it. Today wasn’t a total bust as I went to the library and I sold 5 small items on our local FB site. This money will be used in the city if needed. I don’t like traveling without cash. Not a lot but mote than I had. I prayed this morning that my items would sell and bang, they sold really fast. I’m giving my peaches away to friends and neighbors as they have all ripened. They are delish and juicy. Monica has lifted my spirits a bit!!! Thank you.

    Hi Monica, I’m glad that you got a job. Sorry it wasn’t the one you wanted. I just want to say that your support has lifted me a bit. Thank you. From years of smoking, not getting regular check ups and a lot of large feelings I had to have dentures before 60. I had put a lot of money into root canals and crowns. Another lesson! It was nice that you gave your Sis some money. We are a lot alike. I share wh3n I don’t have
    much. I can’t stand to see someone else suffer. Have a good test of your day!
