Thanks, jjb!

Thank you for your kind words. These boards and the kind people I have met and found here are at times the only reasons I still believe in myself and manage to keep myself going.

Like you, I find the world to be a scary place and some days, it is more than I can do to pull myself out of my bed and face a new day.


Am now mulling over first world problems such as how not to go broke trying to fix my new place. I just received a quotation on how much it will cost to do basic repairs and renovation and I think my heart just skipped a beat. I guess I will have to really pare down the repairs to the bare necessities and then slowly do up the place as and when my budget allows.

I guess I am lucky to have first-world problems. And like what tl2 said, at least my debt has a roof over it.

Was explaining to kid that I was busy with the new place. Told her that I was trying to pare things down to within budget. I didn't want to worry her too much so I started a song and dance about how everything was going to be fine. Kid joined in and we both had a good laugh.

I have kid and we love each other so much. At this very moment, life is good. And I am grateful.


You can call me Dory/ Grl.

It's no use to go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.
