@ess77. Hey, Elizabeth, we're all still here for you. Please don't feel sad. 😔
I've been working like a fiend with downsizing my apartment to fit into my one tiny room at Long Term Care. Not much time for posting to Connect! I read my Digest religiously every morning though, "Like" what I can, and respond to a few that tug at my heartstrings at the time.
I'm so glad you're feeling stronger lately and getting downstairs to your critter feeders. You're so fortunate to see all that wildlife.
My province of British Columbia in Canada is in a state of emergency right now. Up to 200 mm of rain in 24 hours in many areas, flooding, all major highways closed due to landslides, thousands of farm animals have drowned, over 15,000 chickens gone, farm fields have turned into lakes, with breakers. So far, one human death and four people missing. Over 300 stranded people heli-rescued. Where I live on Vancouver Island we're completely cut off from the rest of Canada because all highways are washed out. We're so fortunate in my town because although we've had an awful downpour of rain, and some basements and crawl spaces flooded, no major roads out, etc. BC has had more rain in 30 hours than we usually get for all of November. which is our wettest month. Tragedy everywhere. Homes lost, farms lost.
Gotta go for now, Elizabeth. Keep on that good progressive road you're on. Take care. Laurie ❤

@artist01 and all...Wow, that's a horrid list of tragedies. Thankfully, you are safe and sound. That's a lot of rain. As one who's been in floods, I can understand the fears. anxiety. I hate anxiety!
be well, my friend. blessings and I fully understand your current situation. I'm meeting with my antique/furniture and stuff friend on Tues to go through my storage unit costing a monthly fortune. I'm selling, ridding myself of the heavy feeling on my shoulders from all the things I hold on to. I also asked for a referral to someone to hire to be my 'assistant', pack up and help me go through everything in my home. to keep, sell, donate, toss. I'm doing it, the next to final time, I suppose. Feels good, doesn't it, Laurie. It's a mental thing. Once you make the decision to do the downsizing, really make a decision, the emotions lessen and logic takes over, some. Good luck, enjoy lightening your load and get it done. I'm with you in spirit...blessings and stay focused! elizabeth.
