How is everybody holding up?

48. You have Alot on your plate! Hopefullly fully kick out the pneumonia ...

🤔
All the various protesting on all the various issues? Think of it like this:
if you, I and countless thousands, millions at times hadn't done any of it - think of how much further back we'd be currently, and imagine being pushed backwards from a even further back place!
Plus all the women you personally helped. You made a difference in their lives! And that probably had positive ripple effects as well.
I hope that makes sense I could do a type of numbers scale analogy if it doesn't. It's important I want you not to feel all that was futile.

As far as the hearing aid issue - you may call me a "good on line friend" if it helps....
I was born w so-so hearing. I probably should have gotten a hearing aid at least some years ago. I'm now waiting for an appointment to the ENT through my ALP.
So you can say to your husband my good on line friend 😉 who's resisted getting a hearing aid is going to get one.
Hey, it might help. And keeping him more engaged might slow the brain/mind issues.

Is there anyway you could barter with some one in your area to do some cleaning in the house. Maybe a friend at DOD might know someone? Just a thought.
Personally, I think you should get the grandson doing something.But that's mho.

If you can sonehow afford it; play the bigger lottery games once in a while for your PNW dreams; do so! Here's a little story....
I once temped at the HQ of a bank in the '80's. It was when the bIg NYC prize was about 84 million.
Well, one of this bank's branchesI thinknin Queens pooled their money......
.
and they won!!!

That's sort of like someone that you don't know but lives in your big apt complex winning. Close enough *to make it seem possible* ! 👍

I was lucky to be able to see 2 of my dreamed of landscapes in '79, '80 for one kind, and in 2007 for a totally different kind.

So I hope it will happen for you!
Blessed be.
