Most of you have heard the expression " In a Pickle" meaning you have a problem that is hard to
solve. For fear of being misconstrued, or upsetting good people, I am not going into great detail. Suffice it to say that my future, once again, is up in the air.
Colorado is a very expensive place to live if you are not making the big bucks, and of course, I am not. It scares me to think that other places I have lived have also doubled in the cost of rent. It's like this country wants to eliminate the working poor. Let's not provide affordable housing..they should work 3 jobs to get by. Oh and let's get rid of food stamps and Medicaid., take away their Social Security. ( no medicaid or SS for me yet, I have a few years to go.) They don't need shelter, food or medicine. I wonder just 'Who?' do they think is cleaning their offices, flipping their burgers, and generally doing something that is a service? The working poor, and WE need a place to live too.
I have thought of returning to the East coast. Unfortunately that means a fair amount of money just to get there. Then there is the fact that I will have to find work again and a reasonable place to live.
So I am frankly, a bit scared of what will happen to me. It has crossed my mind that my last down sizing will not be to a good place. There is no guarantee that moving that far will be the answer either.
So I am saying prayers daily and searching for a way to survive this next stage in my life. The eight ball says " your future is cloudy," but I'd rather have it be something wonderful. I think it is past time for 'something wonderful.' I've paid my dues to Karma, she needs to back off my butt and let me have a decent future, and someone to share it with would be awesome. I'm tired of being alone, it's been 5 years now.

In other news the garden is doing great. I must have picked 5 lbs of Bush beans today.
We are going to be swimming in tomatoes in August, and my peppers are doing very well.
Yes, my thumb is literally green..from pulling weeds..lol.
