Soon after I got there I started crying.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been so overwhelmed. I&#8217;m doing the best I can. But at my age, going from barely being able to take care of myself to having to take care of a good-sized house, a fiance, and her daughter, all by myself, has been too much for me. I have no way of fixing it&#8230; other than finding an under-the-table job which pays me to do nothing, and I don&#8217;t think anyone&#8217;s out there. I&#8217;ve tried selling my music and some meditation necklaces, and nobody is buying. My honey is selling jewelry, and has no market. We&#8217;re not begging (most of the time) but nothing is happening to keep us from needing to beg.<\/p>\n<p>I got a lot of sympathy and a lot of advice, most of which I can&#8217;t use but it was welcome hearing people trying to help.<\/p>\n<p>I came home and crashed. Slept until 6:30. And was still tired at bedtime.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the fatigue could be from the new blood pressure medication, but I&#8217;m not feeling that. It&#8217;s the stress that just doesn&#8217;t go away, and not all of it is financial.<\/p>\n<p>If you can help, my music can be purchased at http:\/\/mordewis.bandcamp.com and the meditation necklaces and other things at http:\/\/serpentscoils.ecrater.com .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got out to Walking Fern Farm yesterday among so many people who love me, for a meeting to determine our Festivals, Moon Rituals, and Male and Female Retreats.
