I just took lotsa pills and I'm about to take more. It's 6:16 am. Cat started pouncing on me at 4:30 am, which doesn't help.

Yesterday I got the last straw. My income tax has not been filed. Which means one of my benefits will be cancelled. I've been yanked back and forth real hard for almost a year. I had heat stroke last week, which I figured must be because I've had no sun in 14 months. Really. So I got my walker and sat in the sun. By which I mean, I'm still trying! Well I'm fed up of trying.

Concierge saw me leave and followed. He is concerned about ... my sanity? A year ago he offered to marry me; I asked why & he said, "Survivor's benefit." We both thought I was dying of diabetes and the hospital kept me 3 days. There's something about a hospital that tells me I don't have to try, the hospital will take care of it, whatever it is.

What do you mean, why didn't I file my taxes? Because the trustee warned me to get a pro to do it, too complicated. I had two accountants and neither filed. Damn! When all is done, isn't it better to file wrong (by me) than not to file at all?

So this morning I will phone yet *another* gov't dept. to try to clarify. Should I take my other batch of pills before or after? Gov't doesn't open for 2 hours.

I'm writing this because I thought I should tell somebody; there's nothing you can do; thanks for reading if you did.

Call the ambulance, my friend.

Please call them.

I don’t want to lose my Claradoon!

You would never sit on my lap, then :cry:

Can you wait til you speak to the govt and see how it goes?
Maybe they'll be understanding.
And even if they're not, things may be easier to handle later in the morning.
:heart: it will be OK :heart:

There should be some tax-filing services for people of your age.

She might need to get her stomach pumped.

What pills did you take, Claradoon?

I missed last night's midnight pills. So I took a double dose this morning.
Prescription pills. 2 mood pills, 1 anemia pill, 1 blood pressure pill.
I don't feel weird or anything and it's been an hour.

Stomach pumped!! ! Yikes. You may have talked me out of taking this morning's pills.

At least, as much as I hate to, I'll give the gov't another try without more pills.

You should be okay, then.

There are. They are known for doing it wrong.

They can’t screw yours up too badly.

I’m no expert...but I’m sure I can do yours pretty easily.

Unless you have massive investments or something.

Not easy, because of bankruptcy to be filed to 2 gov'ts - 9 mos. fed & 3 mos. Que

I just called very friendly gov't who can't help me.

How about an advocate for the elderly or a social worker?

Please spend five minutes thinking about your breath going in and out. For most people, it calms them and clears the mind.

I hope you will feel better soon. I like having you around!

advocates & social workers & tax bloopers are all under the same umbrella.
