I know I probably sound like a whiner, but I have been so overwhelmed this year, and it hasn't got any easier.

My daughters took me out for brunch after I got home from Church yesterday morning.We had a great meal, but as we were leaving the restaurant, the short 1 inch heel on my right boot somehow got snagged in the rubber mat at the entrance, and down I went.I didn't break anything, but I am rather sore and have a small scrape on my right knee. My ankle went out, and I got it back in place at the restaurant. The knee was out, but I got it back in place when I got home. My hip still hurts, not as bad as yesterday, but not exactly comfortable. I am calling the Chiropractor this morning.I got to say, when I fell, I yelled, and a young man came running up, scooped me up off the floor like I was as light as a sheet of paper(I am a lightweight,91 pounds), and my daughters grabbed me and set me down on a bench.God Bless that young man for helping me ! There is no way I was going to a hospital with all the covid hysteria going on. So prayers needed that my Chiropractor puts me back together, once again.

The biggest thing I am still dealing with, besides the medical bills for my late husband Roy, that seem to never stop trickling in, is the house issue. I have been trying so hard to find a smaller home on a very low budget, that is not falling apart like this one is. Most of the walls and ceilings are cracked, and there is separation between some of the ceilings and walls.The chimney is now separated from the adjoining walls, and some of the cracks are an inch wide, or gaping holes. My foundation is also literally crumbling. I am going to Menards today to get the expanding foam to plug up the gaps in the concrete blocks in the basement, and to plug the holes where the concrete blocks have literally crumbled. The cold air is blowing through the deteriorated blocks.It is the best I can do. This house has a whole bunch of serious problems, including electrical, and there is no way I can fix it, as the cost would be astronomical.
I am asking for prayers, that I could find a cheap, smaller house, that is in good shape overall, and just needs cosmetics, which I can handle.

Thank you, my Friend ! I just want something simple but safe, with a fenced yard, so my dogs can have an area to run around.My oldest daughter might move in with me.She has a really nice place she is renting,a 1st floor of a huge old house, and has been there several years. Her landlord said he might sell it, and will make up his mind by January 1st.
With my arthritis, I am having a bit of a rough time getting up stairs. I can get down mostly OK, but going up, I have to crawl, as I am a bit wobbly on my feet, sometimes.I can't carry any kind of weight, as it makes me off balance.So, when I do laundry, I can get down the basement stairs pretty OK, but going back up, it is one step at a time. I put the clothes basket on a step in front of me, crawl a step, and then repeat until I am upstairs with the load. My kids didn't know I was that bad, as I am so stubborn and independent. My youngest daughter saw this a couple of weeks ago, and was appalled at my dilemma.My daughters have been going with me to look at other houses, as they know I am in a dicey situation here, and they are trying to help me find another home.

Prayers definitely needed.
