A little bit every day will make a big difference over time.
Keep posting, even if you feel like you haven't done anything worth posting about. You will get there.

Hi RTJ, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and about the paperwork. I am always doing things like losing money because I CAN"T do the paperwork. It literally feels like I CAN'T! So I totally understand that feeling. Have you thought about going into chat with the paperwork? I've done that before, when I needed to work on cover letters and it helped a lot! Sometimes we can use chat for things other than cleaning. I really hope things start to get better for you and I am rooting for you the whole way! HUGS, Blackswan |
