Aww sweetie, thank you. I'll manage. Some how. My brother is supposed to call me back in the next day or two; hopefully he'll be able to help with a loan or gift of some money.
But just knowing someone cares and wants to help is a big boost to my moral. Thanks again and **hugs**
Oh Dani, I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to try and make something out of nothing (or very little). I am the queen of cutting meals because the money is not there to pay for them. It's sickening that people have to live like this. I know so many who do, including older peeps.
I'm sorry about your friend in the hospital and also the one that said she didn't want to talk. I think you're probably like me in the sense that you often feel like you've done something wrong anyway. Things like this exploit that kind of internal guilt. I am learning some things like 1) I'm not responsible for other people's feelings and 2) How people choose to behave has nothing to do with me. If your friend won't talk to you there's nothing you can really do. Try to embrace that despite that nagging feeling I know you are experiencing.
I try not to skip meals-- plays havoc with my hypoglycemia when I do. But sometimes, especially towards the end of the month, I'll find myself skipping a meal or two to help stretch what's left to last until the next SNAP allotment arrives.
Thanks for the *hugs*. They are very warm and fuzzy. :)

Ya... that old internal guilt thing... It pops up a lot when you don't have the best self-esteem to start with.
I don't mind cutting a meal here or there-- I'm just upset that I'm forced to do so instead of choosing to do so.
Hopefully my brother will call in a day or two with some good news. Knowing him, tho, I'm not gonna hold my breath! LOL

I wasn't suggesting you skip meals--just that's it's shitty that people have to.
I hope things get better for you and soon! *hugs*
