Judy, I know that you know that writing is terribly therapeutic - so you've taken the first step by writing it all down.
I know you are feeling more out of sorts due to being "trapped" in the house all week, not even being able to enjoy getting out of doors or to the pool. When I am trapped at home, I just want to climb the walls, I don't do well at home all the time AT ALL! Janet's suggestion of sitting in the sunlight is so spot on! I do think that Jessie should have known that you needed her - but maybe she just didn't "think". On the other hand, when you plan to be without a car is one thing, but to be without a car unexpectedly - surely you need some things and you would think she would know this! I can see that you know that volunteering or getting involved with people/groups that need you or the things you know or can do, is the best way to meet people and make friends. It is hard to make friends as we get older - it really takes time and energy to make a new friend and as we get older we just are less inclined to put forth the effort to make a friend. It's one reason older people don't have very many friends, they don't make new ones and the old ones die or move away. My mom has lived with me for 8 years and she doesn't have one single friend down here. She goes to church and has people she "knows" there, but doesn't have a "friend". It's hard, and lots has been happening lately - not to mention all the adrenaline that flowed through your body during and after the accident! You'll be OK, you know you'll be OK, and you know we love you! Wish we were closer and could sit around that fireplace and visit!

That's one reason I cut back on the antidepressants. Necessity is the mother of invention (or energy). As for Jessie, even though she is busy like you said, Janet, she could have sent Steve over here with some provisions! But, I do not want to get stuck in that loop. I cannot count on her for certain things, nor on him, and that's just the way it always was. I love her, I love him, and I sure love those children!!! At least I will have my car on Wednesday. Yahoo!!!! And then, all of these things will fall into place, and then new things will come up.

I'm so glad you will be getting your car!!!! I hate feeling confined and being dependent on somebody else for my toilet paper
![]() What about the church you just went to with your kids? Maybe you should try visiting there. You said you liked it and it gave you a good feeling, so that may be a good place to start. Just remember, we're here for you and we love you ![]()

I just took the plunge and called Ev, who leads our writing group. I told her that I couldn't make it because I don't have my car, and she is going to pick me up!! Then, she needs a supermarket run, so I am going too. Hurray....I am going outside! And....I like Ev, so maybe something will come of this. I did call her once before and we met at a local theater where they were putting on a play.

Hugs, Judy!! By now you've gotten your car and things are better, I hope. There's nothing more fustrating than not being able to go anywhere when you really need to. Trust me......I know......my Tahoe's in the garage but it's not starting but we usually have a vehicle around that I can still drive.
Sorry about the depression......at least you recognize that you have it and are aware of what you need to do for it. You know that we're always here to listen to any problems that you're dealing with!! So.....what kind of car did you get? I bet you picked out some cute little sports car!!!
