I have had a productive day. I have applied for a home equity line of credit. If I provide the little additional documentation they need, I will probably end up getting this loan. This will reduce my outstanding loan payments from over $400 a month to less than $200 a month. I am also cutting expenses to the bone. Together this will make the difference between surviving on my income and not surviving. I also paid my outstanding property taxes due from last year to assist in the loan application. That hurt.

The sometimes excruciating pain from my teeth has stopped for the day. First it was one tooth which then moved to another tooth. The pain has been alternating between the upper jaw to the lower one. I still will have the dentist look at my teeth. Tomorrow, I hope I will clean the bathroom, go to the demtist, and pack some of my late mothers clothing away to be picked up by some charity. This will be a difficult thing for me to do.
