I'm just stopping by to say "HI". I think of all of the ones I've known here and wish you all the best always. I care about you! I wanted to stop and say hi.
I've been so busy the past month with my job and my life. I don't miss therapy so much as I miss having someone to talk to. I have dreams of my therapist once in a while and it either makes me miss her or resent her for retiring. It's ok though.
I'm faced with a lot right now. My oldest daughter is getting married in May. I'm so excited for her but this means I get to move into an apartment because I can't afford to stay in the town home we've been sharing. It's hard to move "down" at this time in my life. But I guess on the positive part, I won't have as much to keep clean. It will be me and my younger daughter. I've never really lived in an apartment in my whole life, so it should be an adventure. In getting the power put into my name I found out that my ex-husband didn't pay our closing power bill and had let it go for several months. So I found out that I had to pay it before they would put the power in my name for my new place. It was $765.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was livid!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have enough money to move let alone take care of this. It's put me in such a financial bind that I don't know how I'm even going to come close to making it. I have no where to turn! And I'm depressed about it all.
I didn't come here to whine. I'll get through this. But I wish I had my T to go talk to. I have more than enough medical bills right now, so going to see someone isn't an option. I'm beyond broke!
Take care all, and know I'm still around. Sorry for not replying to anyone's posts. I don't read much. I'm not up to it right now.

(((Ladybug)))
I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I'm really sorry things are so hard for you right now with money.

Thanks for the hug Dinah!!!! I'll get through this, it's just the stress of it all. I've gone through worse and I survived!
I hope all is well with you. As I said, I'm hit and miss with reading. I've been so darn busy with work. It's our busiest time of year.
Take Care!

Sorry your ex-husband continues to upset you from afar ... it's funny how that can still happen.
Think of your new apartment as a fresh start. You suffered so much turmoil last year that a new home could be the start of a new beginning.
Thank you for stopping by to say HELLO!

Is there a Salvation Army in your town? I think sometimes they can help with a utility bill.
Still, sometimes it's more depressing to look for help and keep being turned away.
Last year and the year before, if I recall correctly, I qualified and received a utility credit from LIEAP (low income energy assistance program), but this year, after a cost-of-living-adjustment raised my social security disability benefit, I now make $6 or 7 too much per month to qualify for that aid.

sometimes starting fresh and clean can turn out to be a blessing. And I found out I really liked being forced into minimizing how much stuff I had. I felt so free in so many ways.
Sometimes you can ask the power company if you can make payments. Your circumstances should make a compelling case.
I'm glad you stopped by. It is nice when people don't completely disappear. I'll send you good energy to get through all of this.
Hugs,
Daisy

Okay, so here's a little update for you. I've been praying for a miracle this past week. There was going to be NO WAY for me to make things work with the money I have available and the money I have to pay out to get moved. I paid the $800.00 to the electric co. with some money I borrowed from my sister and my parents. (It made me sick to ask.) I plan on paying it back when I get my deposit money back from the place we are currently living. Then there is an overlap with having to give a 30 day notice to our current place and having to take the new place within 2 weeks of signing on the new place. I had to pay for both places at the same time!!!
I filed my taxes almost 2 weeks ago not knowing if they've even give me a refund due to owing some back taxes. I kept praying for a miracle as there's no other way for me to work this out. Today as I was logging in to my bank account, there was my refund!!! The kept $400.00 but the amount I got will help me tremendously.I'm still madder than Heck at my soon to be ex-husband. He's such a jerk! I hope he's living on the street soon. He deserves it after all he's put me and our family through. He doesn't even care! Karma, what goes around comes around!
Thanks for letting me share this. As long as I can make this move work, I believe life will be ok. Not easy, but I can move forward in my life and put all the incredibly hard things I've been through this past year behind me. I will keep trying to progress with all I've been working on personally. Without my T, no less. That's ok. I can do it, I have been doing it alone for a few months now.
Thanks to all! You are my friends that live in my computer!! You are the best!!
