Just got back from Walmart, myself😁. Astonishing how much I can spend in a very short amount of time! Stay well, our Nicole. We are all so grateful for you.

I would love that-we are going north next, but are always in Lake Worth for Thanksgiving and Christmas. (I do an early Xmas in New York with the boys). You are on the Gulf side?. And, yes, I feel like I found a friend in you, also. We shall see what the future brings, but having a beer or a glass of wine with you would be big fun. Keep in touch-pm is fine, too

I'm in Delray Beach. It almost sounds like we could have a FL get together over an adult beverage!

Good Morning to everyone.  Well, I found a washer.  Should be delivered this week.  Water Heater (check), windshield (check), washer (check).  I am working my way through the list.  It is keeping me busy but it distracts me from the sadness.   Hope that everyone is well and that May will be sunny and bright for us all.

You're doing well Cadee! Sad moments come and go, but that too is part of this process. It's good you don't stuff the sadness. Allowing it to pass through you is healthy. I hope you have many more moments of happiness than sadness in your future. Take care.

[MarcyW882921]

You go Cadee! You are making great progress on your list and sometimes the distractions are good for us. Here's to sun and flowers in the month of May!

I'm not grieving. I'm 😷🤢 sick and thanks 🙏👍 for the concern... Barbara Jean McCormick 😞👎

[mc6844]

I hope you feel better. Did you get your flu shot? Take care.

Good to hear from you too Nicole and all on this site!

Good morning everyone!  Another day, another repair.  Getting my windshield replaced today.  Calling repair people and shopping for appliances has certainly occupied most of my time and MIND.  Nicole, I AM taking one step at a time.  😊  Best wishes to all of my friends on this site.  I appreciate all of you.

[mc6844]

Take care Cadee. Sorry you are going through so much.  

[Cadee2719]

Thank You for thinking of me.

[mc6844]

I hope the repairs are mostly repaired. Sounds like you've done a good job navigating your way through it all!

[MarcyW882921]

I'm glad your windshield is being replaced today. That is something important to mark off your list!

I have been looking at appliances online and had selected a few that fit with my budget and had features that I like. Today I went to see them in person to see if I really did like them. I'm so glad I narrowed my scope online before visiting the store because the choices there were too overwhelming!

[Cadee2719]

Thank You Marcy.  I, too am looking on line for measurements, features and prices.  I am trying to prioritize what I need most:  washer, dryer, oven, stove top?  It is nice out so I will hang my clothes outside for now; I have a microwave so I guess washer is the winner!

1 comment (4/27/23) Hi Marcy @MarcyW882921 , do you plan on purchasing online or from a store? Nicole 🤗🤎

[MarcyW882921]

I will likely make the purchase at a store.

1 comment (4/27/23) I am so PROUD of you @Cadee2719 !!!! Lol, some days those "steps" come easy, while other days I stand "still" 🙄 Do you know how your windshield got cracked? Will insurance cover this repair? Nicole 🤗🤎 (4/28 @Cadee2719 )

[Cadee2719]

Good Morning Nicole   The technician said he thinks it was the temperature change from cold to hot (80 degrees).  I said that the car has sat in 115 degrees and never cracked.  He was very sweet and fixed it within 2 hours.  I had to pay the deductible and the insurance will pay the balance. I love and appreciate all the advice I am getting from my friends on this site.  April is almost gone and May should bring flowers, sun and hopefully some happiness.  Nicole, take as good care of yourself as you do for all the people on this site.  ❤️

I have been busy with all the repairs to be done.  Hot Water heater replaced.  Yahoo   Then I walk past my car to put the garbage out AND my windshield is cracked from one end to the other!  April has been a tough month for me and I guess all these repairs to be done are one way to occupy my mind with other thoughts.  At this point, I have to laugh because I am tired of crying.  Thank You for checking in on me.  Wishing love and Best Wishes to everyone here.  I will just continue to take One Step At a Time.😀

[CatherineS641676]

I always say staying busy is my greatest healer, but sheesh-your post made me laugh out loud! I hope the one step and one repair at a time 😊 bring a bit of peace. Sending love and healing back your way. 

[Cadee2719]

Thank You for thinking of me.  

[MarcyW882921]

Oh no Cadee something else to add to your already full plate! I guess laughing is the best thing to do when things get so ridiculously overwhelming. Hang in there Cadee, prioritize, and definitely take one step at a time.

[Cadee2719]

I am almost afraid to wake up for fear I will discover something else has broken.  😂  I guess this is God's way of saying "Life goes on, so get to it."  He is keeping me busy.  Thank You for thinking of me.
