i completely understand. For me the best thing to go is to start one project. Look around for deals on supplies. you have had a rough time with people in your community It's not always easy but maybe meeting new people. I know I would gladly weed the neighbors garden, if they only asked. To me it's just relaxing. My neighbor and I don't work and we have agreed to "trade" tasks. For example I will babysit for her and she will cook me dinner. It works for us.
I have the time. Lots and lots of it (retirement sucks). I don't have an artistic molecule in my body...
Excellent advice Tonya! I would suggest that you take your time, one project at a time and work together on them. It's wonderful that your husband can build your bookshelves however, it's super fun to work on things together. You might learn a bit from watching him. Plus the time you two spend together is priceless since both of you are still working. Perhaps you could speak with the school if it's close to you, and see if they know anyone who could help out. Trust is a major issue, especially at an older age, some people think they can, and do, take advantage. There's always some good people though that are willing to help and reaching out is all it takes. Aside from the school, maybe you can reach out to your church or community center. Good luck! If you were near me, I'd come over in heartbeat 😊
