[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 705817, member: 20487"] Hello everyone!! I have been quite busy for the last couple of months, some of it the holidays and some of it just taking care of everyday living things. I have been trying to take one day at a time and not worry about things that might or not happen. That is easier to say than do. The thing I have the hardest time with is that at night when I try to sleep this is when I allow all this to run in my head. Then I can't sleep. Plus some things that are actually happening can make it harder to ignore things that might not happen. For instance, my car has had issues and to make a long story short after replacing several headlights at a cost of at least $75.00 each, I was told that my headlight seals were bad and it would cost $700.00 to replace, which was not what I was told by another mechanic. As it turned out it was the wiring and GM put out a service bulletin on how to fix but I still paid $215.00 just to replace the wiring and one headlight. Now my hot water heater is going out, so of course I lay awake at night and everything that is wrong in the world bothers me including what is happening to both of my adult children.
