i am so grateful that i did find a place to live, after i put out a prayer request about that before. on the other hand, since i have severe chemical sensitivities and also sound sensitivity, all possibly due to nerve damage and years of autoimmune issues... finding a place to live is very hard and yet i also want to stay in Chicago. i'm a photographer and the city is my inspiration. i've also built my whole adult life here. the place i found is VERY small, and in a crowded, not so quiet, not so safe at night, area. there's still some sort of pesticide smell in the place (tho it's newly painted)... or maybe incense or annoying candle smell that i hope i can make better and the formaldehyde on the new carpet in the hall... please pray that i will somehow find some at least temporary peace here (grateful i got a 6 mo. lease!). so many things can bring on panic when you can have trouble breathing so easily due to so many things. i'm alone and still miss my ex from ages ago (were oddly still "friends")... but i just feel so alone in all this, too. single and 51 and not by choice, too. but i can't wait to "live" again! please send prayers! thank you!<3
