There was something else I was going to say and I don't know what.
Speaking of.
I've been meaning to thank you all for your support this weekend with the dog. It was a tough weekend for a lot of reasons and you guys really helped a lot.
Sunday her rescue group had some dogs at a street fair nearby so we went by to say hello. They were all so excited about her progress and how different she is. It's hard to see from on the ground, you know? And it's slow progress, but it
is
progress, and even I can see that. Tomorrow is the start of dog classes (she doesn't go 'til next week though) and I have high hopes for that.
Oh! And today! I got dog kisses! I was bending down to give her scritches and she leaned way up to give me a face lick.
Yay, doggie kisses! That's great to hear, brenda.
meara, I hate that you are having such a stressful time at work. Any chance of help?
Always a good time when you think you'll have to call the police while you're on on the Red Line and two strangers are having what essentially boils down to the "Mom, he won't stop touching me!" argument while everyone else in the train car is just trying to read.
In other news, I managed to eat oatmeal, study for an exam, and go to the gym while functioning on maybe four hours of sleep. The universe owes me a goddamn cookie.
Gah, meara. But honestly - it's best to have that out in the open, and better to bring it up now than in the review.
In sad dog news, my sister's dog Kenna, died today. It was my BiL's birthday, so not a very happy birthday for him.
Kenna was almost 16, which is very long lived for a Golden Retriever and she had a very spoiled, happy life.
Neck has tightened up again. You know, this morning I decided that having a head that can rotate left and right and pivot up and down as well is a good thing. In fact, I was downright enjoying myself moving my head about.
Oh well - a hot bath before bedtime and some range-of-motion exercises will hopefully loosen things up again.
I'm loving the fact that the neighbor cat and Loki are providing me with lots of cuddles (Devi and MK do too, but on their schedules.)
So I had stupid meetings all day and I didn't call my aunt. The one on hospice, you know? And I managed to be "busy" all weekend, too. Some of this is my phone avoidance, but I think some is actually some actual dread that, you know, my dad's little sister is DYING and I'm afraid of the next call being the last. And really, not the time for procrastinating this shit. I hate being a grown up.
Doggy kisses!!!!
My mom's kitten and the 2 other kitten's in her litter dying have made me a bit paranoid about my 11 year old cat. I am seriously not sure I can take it when she goes.
