I've Been Quiet Here...Feeling Like an Update
HostTracy commented on HostTracy's blog entry in My Journey Within
We are all still adjusting (Kitty, Bella and I). Bella is lighting a fire under us older warm bodies (myself and Kitty) lol. She is, for some reason, obsessed with my A/C vents and has learned how to get it out of its hole in the floor. ๐คจ Needless to say, I keep a water "don't do that" water spray bottle nearby. It's sort of tough though, since every room has at least one vent. ๐คฌ Or maybe it is vents in general... She likes to play behind my washer and dryer and this past week and ripped my dryer vent in half. So... Yes, Bella is a special addition to our family. Kitty and I sometimes just look at each other like "What the heck is wrong with her!". ๐ We โค๏ธ her though! Oh and Kitty has a new nickname... Bubby! I found myself calling them both kitty and so they both came lol. -

Hear me out.. I'm not ostentatious.. i swear
HostTracy commented on ksmith's blog entry in Ksmith's Blog
This entire thread resinates with me! Before my ex did a very not nice thing (a year after my stroke) and I left him and pursued my disability and my life... I had never lived alone. Seriously never. I was always the budget maker etc. Now my budget making skills are lacking a lot due to executive function defecits from the stoke. In other words I suck at it. Once I did get my disability. I had to utilize every bit of help I could find and now I live in my own home (OK one side of a duplex but it's my home). I am responsible for 100% of my bills, needs, wants, desires, etc. With just SSDI it is not a lot. I pretty much survive by not allowing anything beyond necessary. Ya'll it freaking lonely and depressing... But I feel so happy being on my own I don't think I want to share me with anyone at least not now. I still battle over what is a need, a want, etc. I mean I really feel like my monthly visit to Dollar Tree is a need for craft supplies. OK maybe a sanity need but doesn't that count. I digress, I find my budget never fits what I perceive as my needs and I have to make constant decisions to forego my sanity fund (lol). I can only imagine Kelli and I feel I can so understand your delemna. My family is constantly telling me I have start supplementing my SSDI and I don't feel like I can get out there and do it yet and my Dr. says he does not OK me "working" in any general sense of the word. But my reality is what it is and I know things will have to change eventually for me to survive. The whole thing is a anxiety ridden struggle. I certainly have never been in my current situation before. Each new day is 100% new. My brains ability to even process it is questionable. The struggle is real. I'm here for a whine hearing if ever needed lol I probably will hope for reciprocation. In all cases all of you have my โค๏ธ. -

Kev Happy New Year and many blessings to go with it. I hope you get a chance to make it to Paris sooner rather than later! Learning a new language has been sort of my thing this past year though I am far from good lol. Gaelic (a dying language but my Maiden Name is Gaelic) and brushing up on my Spanish (ok so really starting fresh because lol I dont remember anything). I've been using a free app called DuoLingo. Good luck with the French!!!

These were wooden circle ornaments but they were too heavy for my tree once I painted them and added. I made them into coasters instead (felt on the bottom). -
