As for the Bipolar and PTSD, I have Loved Ones who live with those diagnosis and symptoms too, it often makes me feel so helpless to ease their torment and witness their pain. Often there are no adequate words to bring comfort... So just a big sincere virtual Hug is all I can really offer... Dawn...

That's funny - when I lived in the house that I rented (32 years!) before losing it and coming here, I raised my own rent three times - and he was a terrible landlord. You are indeed rare.

I am a landlord....well, I have a tenant in my MIL which is directly under my living room and she made me raise the rent because I hadn't for three years. So I bet I'm not typical. I try to be kind and prompt when there's a problem. I moved my TV (which I don't much watch) into the loft so she can't hear it through her ceiling. I remember what being a renter was like so I want to be good and fair. You enjoy it, it centers you and brings peace to your heart.

For starters, I envy women who don't have to work and have wealthy spouses. It feels like working is going to kill me. Strangely, I love my job but I wish I could do it as a volunteer and not *have* to do it. Yes. Ashamed. On so many levels. <br /><br />I would write a longer comment but my shoulder is sore and Norbert is on my lap and I have nowhere to put my computer.

(stress and loneliness can do that to you). I had to get a company who specializes in mold detection. They do air samples where ever you think you might have it, it's air born too, so you might not see it and it happens where ever there is dampness. You can find them in your area on Google. <br /><br />I'm in awe that you understand and sad that you go through similar mental health pain. And it is reasonable, you know that, don't doubt yourself. You are not alone and now neither am I. Thank you so much for your empathy and kind words, they give me warmth.livhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091094639074377780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144492886967330098.post-22508296391979218312017-02-25T13:41:09.728-08:002017-02-25T13:41:09.728-08:00wow. oh my god. there is so much here that i relat...wow. oh my god. there is so much here that i relate to. i too have been steadily getting sicker over the past few years, pain everywhere, and now i wonder if we have black mold. if we do, why am i the only one getting sick from it? how would i tell if we have it? and the envy. oh my. i relate to that too, although in my case it's not so clearly envy as loneliness, the kind that is absolutely convinced that everyone else in the world is more connected, more busy, more accompanied, more loved, more sheltered, than I am. also: my house is falling apart--this is how it feels to me, and while this seems to bother no one else, it is really fucking with my mental health. No one seems to think this is reasonable, and I have given up trying to explain it, but clearly you understand it, and just that, knowing someone out there gets its, makes me feel less alone and crazy. and your art is beautiful in itself and all the more so because it makes your heart happy to do it. i have been feeling so alone out here, and right now, i feel a little bit less so. thank you for that.37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9144492886967330098.post-33856221719379335352017-02-25T11:13:24.163-08:002017-02-25T11:13:24.163-08:00A mosaic artist?!

Envy is perfectly rational when you have so much to deal with, but you don't let it become poison, you recognize the love. Oh Liv, I so hope you find a sweet spot to call home.
