Thanks, everyone. I am doing better now, and my plan to move is on hold for awhile. A big problem at my current address has been remedied, so I'm not desperate to get out of here. I do want to move, eventually, but my goal now is to do that before next summer.

Thanks for understanding about being branded by a neighbor ( and the property manager) as "crazy." Both these persons have reasons to be glad I'm here. I suppose - deep down inside - they must know that. I get afraid that, once people think something negative about me, it will always outweigh every decent thing I've ever done for them. Maybe I should give people more credit than that. My own mind doesn't work that way.

I, too, would like to take a course.

I still want to use the time I have here to whittle down my possessions. I'm going to try and sell some electronic stuff on the Internet.
