Good news! I'm glad for you that your benefits are coming through.
Next: I know what you mean about "big strong men". I shopped yesterday for the whole month, filled my "little old lady wagon" to overflowing with the bundles, then had a hell of a time managing the wagon. My friend Bob, who lives upstairs, helped me to the elevator, then came to the apartment with me and helped unload and put away. He's a big strong man who is 65+ years of age. Handsome, too.
