I do think, once my bed is there and made, the cable is one and there's food in the refrigerator I'll feel better.

Moving and beginning a new life is hard at any age but a little tougher for seniors. I have been worried for a lot of folks during and after they have arrived as many have felt a little down and a little overwhelmed. Sometimes finding a "soft place to fall" for a cup of coffee and reassurance makes things a little easier, but we can't expect too much of ourselves.
If you get here and feel down, call out to us here.
There are a lot of caring folks who read this forum.
I hope you will be happy here.
Kindest wishes,
Gracie.
