Last night, our GS went to sleep at a decent hour. Today, he was in a far better mood. And when GS is happy, the world gets better.
Our DD was able to get a response from her psychiatrist. She also read and identified once more with an article about PMDD. It’s funny how relieved you can feel when you know what’s happening to you. She has some months when she simply feels anxious. Then there are times like this month, when the panic attacks are so bad they take over the whole day.
The hamsters at the humane society are already a hit. Several have already gone or are going to go home with volunteers! That is such good news. Volunteers at the humane society already love animals. Those hamsters are so darn cute.
We are donating our Purple mattress to someone who needs it. We were unable to find someplace to donate it, and neither was Purple, so they gave us the go ahead to give it to someone who needs it. It will be going to a family that needs one for their 8 year old, and doesn’t have the money to buy one in this pandemic.
In one of my Facebook groups, a woman mentioned she doesn’t have the money for gifts for her 2 year old daughter, so I picked a couple up at Sam’s and met her at the Aldi parking lot (I also got her a couple of pounds of ground beef). She lost her job at Red Lobster with the pandemic. She can’t get anything from Toys for Tots because when she was working she made enough money to save, and the paperwork to prove she needs the help was impossible. Her money is running out. She’s waiting for SNAP to be approved. I felt very good about our encounter.
One of our local police lodges collects for Christmas food baskets for the needy. We donated. Also donated to the local food bank – they can do more with the money than I can. We are so fortunate to have our health and to have enough to eat and a roof over our heads. I would never be a billionaire. I could not own that much money and not help other people. It’s not what you have that makes you rich.
Trump could never imagine the concept of richness that does not include material things like gold rooms and gold faucets. Lifting someone else up makes you far richer and gives you a long lasting reward than anything you can buy.
