I wish I could say there was an easy answer but there isn't one, the only thing you can do is keep connecting with others here and
in your community to get the help you need. Be kind to yourself and when you fail forgive yourself, if you can possibly cut corners
like making soup in the crock pot with single servings of frozen veggies with some meat and from one of those precooked chickens from the market do it, buy the frozen manicotti shells, you can microwave them in a glass pie plate in 5 minutes, all you need is the
shells, tomato sauce and some canned diced tomatos. The dry cleaners will take bedspreads and tablecloths and a good one will
mend broken shoes and torn clothes. You can replace the rubber flapper and the handle on your toilet yourself,
it takes 5 minutes and always buy lots of toilet paper. I know a guy that ran out of toilet paper after his divorce and almost
imploded, his wife had always bought it. If you have never used a crock pot, get one, they are great and will take the pressure out
of meal times, they make great apple sauce which kids love, only used tomato paste instead of stuff from the jar, the jar stuff
gets too strong with slow cooking, no work to clean just soak. Good luck, glad you came back on it, I was wondering how you
are doing. Most of my soups I like to add a onion and some premade chicken broth.
