Thank you Barb, for your positive energies and ideas! -I will do my best to follow youur excellent suggestions. Unfortunately, for the moment,I am dealing again with caregiver coverage gaps due to underpayment by State authorities. My live-in caregiver is leaving for a job with better base-pay, and fringe benefits. I found this out 12 hours ago. -Also, the City of Portland has sent me a notice of sewer user lien that is impending, directly the reverse of their suppposed 100% sewer assessment relief in the settlement prposal. I am chasing a lwayer who has not responded for three weeks. I am suddenly in danger of foreclosure!!!!!!! Unfortunately, life is getting too crushing to do the needed telephone follow-up that under better circumstances, I would be doing with gusto!! If there is someone who can call me to advise-my tel is listed with the Directory Operators.
