Could I have some ~ma for today?
I am going to have to have an unpleasant conversation at work about something that I - through unthinking neglect on my part - allowed to happen. It's not entirely my responsibility, but I could catch some major flack for it. Plus, because it is partially my responsibility, I feel like a major failure.
In desperate need of calm, good vibes, etc. I haven't been this shaky or upset about anything in a long, long time.
Update: everything went well - thank you all.
The appeal paperwork gets faxed out today. Can I get some vibes for it?
Headed to UCLA for yet another of Grace's surgeries. Are we on two years of this yet? Any good thoughts would be appreciated.
My boyfriend D has ankle surgery scheduled first thing tomorrow. Some surgery~ and healing~ma would be muchly appreciated - he's super active and I don't think he realizes how long a road he has ahead.
This is the puppy we are fostering: [link]
He was rescued from a furniture factory where some of his siblings had already died from neglect. His three surviving siblings were rescued a month before him because the factory owner wouldn't let them take him for no good reason. Then he escaped, got hit by a car, and finally made it to Westside German Shepherd Rescue last week. We brought him home on Sunday, and he is already a different dog. He is friendly, loves to play, and has the sweetest disposition you can imagine. If you know anyone in the LA area who would like an addition to the family, have them apply to adopt on Westside's site.
We have no doubt he will be adopted, and it's going to be very hard for me to let him go. We will keep him until he has his forever home and then bring home another pup who needs a little love. ND keeps reminding me that we do more good fostering multiple dogs than we would just adopting this one. Hard to remember!
So that puppy we were fostering? Yeah. We may have adopted him. Here is the link to his page on the rescue site. [link]
I'm so happy!
I'd like to ask ~ma for my mom at 2:00 EST tomorrow, as she is having her lung surgery then. She's in good spirits, but it's a tough surgery and she is 84, so......
My mom is in recovery and she came through fine. The surgeon said there were no surprises and there appeared to be no lymph node involvement, so, yay!
