I’ve been wanting to get solar for years but my indecisiveness kept me from pulling the trigger.

I finally bought (not leased) solar panels - I just said “yes” to a flashy sales person.

I over paid for sure, but it’s still cheaper monthly than I pay for grid electricity. I guess it’s a win but I could have saved a lot of money if I shopped around (I’ve checked since) and actually did anything more than “think about it”.

      Ugh, ME TOO. It always feels so horrible when it happens, and it takes so long after for me to feel better or relieved at all, but then that feeling finally comes and probably all the suffering was worth it. But UGH, yuck.

      What a great answer!

      Mine is very similar to yours! I ended a friendship that had become toxic, and I also deeply regret having had to. I thought eventually I’d find another bestie to pal around with, going thrifting and making crafts, but it’s been a lonely 6 years since then. My husband is wonderful and is truly my best friend, but there are interests that he will never share and experiences he will never understand, and I deeply miss having someone in my life who did share those interests and understand those experiences.

    I have Crohn’s disease and sometimes I get so bunged up I have to do some manual work to get things going.

    It’s awful but the ends justify the means.
