OT: GRRRRRRRR

Thought I would stop by and let you know that mentally I am really down in the dumps. My house has been sold and I am trying to sort through 18

1/2 years of stuff. Still no idea where I am going to go. I have looked at places in the retirement community and they are AWFUL. They are at least 1500 square feet smaller than what I have, over priced (they are in CA), and most have not been updated since they were built in the '60's. I have been packing up a lot of pictures today and came across the wedding album, lots of pictures with the kids when we were a "happy" family and I had someone to go through this with. My daughter is moving to Orlando the week after I move and she can't take a lot of her stuff since she is driving across country with her BF in her Honda Fit, son is suppose to move in with his father, but the step-mother has made it appear that they don't really want him, they are just taking him so that they don't have me asking for money to help support him.

I am still unemployed, and currently don't even have any temp work to do. I have started selling Arbonne skin care, but as usual, the economy is down and I have a talent of being 6 years late and $40 dollars short for everything which is why I am taking a beating on the house, have no money left in the bank, and....and... and... I have not quilted in several weeks although I am working on three projects. One is for the local Chabad House and is just a small wall hanging. I embroidered religious items. When I went to trim the stabilizer on one of the blocks, I cut right through the block! The Rabbi and Rebbitzen knew the couple who were killed in Mumbai from the time they were young.

Well, I guess me and my tears and depression better get back to work. I am moving on December 17. The buyers were here yesterday with her parents and they really liked the house-- it is a great house!

As I need more breaks, I will try to stop by.

Debbi,

My heart goes out to you. Just a few years ago I was in much the same boat, packed up my stuff and cried all the way from California to New York. Luckily I was able to move in with my daughter and son in law but I'm still here and I just can't see any way I can ever have my own place again. I hope things start looking up for you, you'll be in my thoughts.

Debbi, I wish I had some answers for you or could wave my magic wand and make all the hard times go away. I do hope things improve for you soon and that you'll be settled in a place that's all yours and just what you need/want. In the meantime, I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Please come back to the group when you can and let us know how things are going.

Debbi, I wish I could send you solution. But all I have are prayers and good wishes for you. I don't understand why life has to be so hard at times.I believe this is a hard time for many people -- so much hurt in the world. If it helps, remember that we here are thinking of you, praying for you, every day. Hang in there. The sun has to shine some day.

Love and hugs, Sunny

I was just thinking about you yesterday Debbi. Sorry this is such a tough time for you. I hope you are able to get through all these transistions and get to easier days soon. There are more affordable places to live in So. Cal. I don't know how close you need to stay to southern OC but we moved up to 'the cheap seats' to make life easier for us years ago. Most of my family lives in your area and would never consider living where I live but houses are really affordable here now. Good luck wherever you end up. Taria

This is rotten Debbi. I'm really sorry. You have, however, got through 'bad' before, and survived well. The timing is particularly unfortunate for this, though. The most important thing is to find somewhere to live, of course. The way you are feeling (naturally) it is probably best not to attempt anything permanent right now. Just anything with a short 'lease' will do for now, until you get a bit straight, and up from the dreaded valley you are in at the moment. {{{{Debbi}}}} . In message , Debbi in So CA writes

Debbi, I sure hope you find a place to live soon; I suspect that you'll feel a lot better once that hurdle has been overcome. It really does seem as though everything is piling on you at once, but remember that the darkness comes before the dawn. Things are sure to improve for you! (Easy for me to say, I know, but I'm really hoping .... )

(((((HUGS))))) and positive thoughts are heading your way both for finding a New Home AND having a smooth transition! It's so hard to have to pick-up-n-move (not to mention sorting through 18+ years of memories!) We'll all be sending positive vibes for you! ME-Judy

I'm so sorry you are going thru such a tough time right now Debbi. I hope that you will find a new home you can love coming home to soon! And a job that you can look forward to going to everyday! It's really tough to be sort of starting all over again. One thing that I have learned is that life is full of lessons & learning opportunities. I thought when I had "matured" that I wouldn't have all those amazing opportunities - but yet, they present themselves over and over. (Just how many life lessons are there anyway???)

This is probably especially tough, because you are having to do this over the holidays, which would have been difficult, no matter what. I hope your son can live with you & have a happier home situation.

You know you have lots of friends here - and we have good listening ears. Feel free to vent whenever you need to. I hope the perfect home presents itself very soon!

Oh, Debbi! I hope you are able to work out a suitable living arrangement. I wonder if you would consider a rental unit for six months or so, that you would be free to find a job and move to that place. That might be a better option than sealing your fate by buying a home right now. In any case, you take care of your self now! Sending prayers and hugs, PAT in VA/USA
