Good News but No One Wants to Hear Me

freddyT9533 September 6th, 2022

For the past eight years I've been sharing my bad news with others online or by telephone. Lost my wife, her parents, my step-daughter, my Social Secuity benefits, and my home/belongings.

Now that I have very good news, that of getting my own apartment, no one wants to hear about it. My long term listener has vanished but I know he is bound to be busy with real world duties. No one else I know online is saying anything to me despite this good news.

Through goverment housing I am getting this apartment. The only hold up is that they need to inspected it before I can move in. Not knowing when this will happen has been less than inspiring for me. By that I me I can't get motivated to pack up my belongings while I live with my parents to be ready for the move. Part of what is holding me back is that 90% of what I have is going in the trash. It's not much but I am planning are starting over with a blank slate. What else is holding me back in part is that I'm still recovering from ankle replacement surgery (in June) plus I have been told I have type two diabetes. This means I'm on too many medications that keep me sleep all of the time.

I've gone off some of the medication that most of my doctors know about as I was so sleepy that getting out of be was almost impossible.

So these are my words for how I am doing today. Positive replies appreciated.

@independentStrings4568 Thank you for being there. I'm 60 yrs old and stuck living with my parents. My mom is not bad, just hard to talk to as bad as her hearing is getting. Dad is the number one reason why I can't stand living here. His issues are besides the point. The point is that every hour that I am still living in this house as close as I am to moving makes me hate being here that much more. I feel like a child on December 1 trying to hold his breath until Christmas gets here.

This evening I'm worn, very worn out from all the laundry, sorting through boxes and re-organinzing said boxes for part one of my move which will take place tomorrow. My car has all the boxes I can safely add to it plus my wheelchair in the trunk to transport the boxes to my new apartment. Hopefully I can get a few more things that I must have ready tonight for this trip.

Tomorrow is the day I will be moving everything else into my new apartment. What makes this complicated is that it all has to fit in my car. I've best guess how much room I will have once I have the cats in their carriers in the back seat. I'm just concerned that there is going to be that one thing that I have no room for.
