Niner I agree with hubs and Nymeria, it is not a good time to move. My Latvian friend here cannot, but he stays on the news and agrees, poor timing to go back home. He had to move long ago for reasons you know. It can wait a bit.
Seriously, if income is low, dried beans and rice get me through, cutting down on any unnecessary spending - which I am sure you do not have, BUT, PLEASE apply for heating, cooling, and food assistance if needed. Do not be ashamed to do so. I was raised to be ashamed, but Dad died in a lot of debt, he couldn't even afford groceries so he charged them, just so Mom would not know. Not okay when assistance is available if needed!
We are all here, checking in a different times. Not enough though.
How are you? Can you get around alright? How do you feel about staying for a year or so?
:blowkiss:
P.S. Tell me how you make homemade chips, PLEASE!
