Kel, Keep your chin up. You are doing an awesome thing for a new you. We all knew this would not be an easy feat, but we chose to do it for good reasons. To live a longer and healthier life.
Do you have any hobbies you like to do? I love to make earrings, necklaces, and bracelets with beads. I also love to scrapbook. These are not things that include exercise, but they will keep you busy, especially since you cannot get out and do the exercise you really want to do.
You have done a wonderful job thus far and you will continue to be successful in your journey. Sometimes it takes time. Go back and look at all your WOW moments. You have several of them and will continue to add to them. Keep up the good work and do not get so down on yourself, you should be proud at how far you have come.

OMG.

Landlord just rang bell. I have to be out in less than 30 days.. (my rent was from the 24th through the 23rd of each month)..

I am sort of flipping out..

My daughter will need to find a place to live for 2 weeks before she goes back to school labor day.

I'm just not READY for this

I just wish I could talk to Geof.. he is so calming for me. Unfortunately, it won't be for several more hours before I can talk to him.

1st order of business is finding a place for Michelle to live the last two weeks before school and 2nd is finding some guys to help load up the truck of stuff from my storage unit here to a storage unit there till Geof & I find a place to live there. 3rd will be finding guys to help load up the things here at the house for transport on that last weekend of the 23rd/24th.

Default As the pressure builds.

I would come and help you move if I could get back there, but alas I can't at this time. I sure that you will see your way through this. I think there is a youth hostel in Boston, maybe your daughter could stay there. Cheap rent (usually in unused parts of college dorms), and all the basic needs. Good luck with everything.

Kel, I read through your thread tonight. I don't post very often, but I lurk a lot. I just wanted to know what I noticed about you... You are a strong wonderful lady! Hang in there! I wish there was something I could do to help.
