Will I ever figure out how to have a stress-free life? I am working on letting things go, but man, I am turning into my mom, worrying about so much.
I am really worried about my brother (more on that in a bit) but this morning, my dog doesn't want to walk. She went outside to pee, then laid down on the grass. She finally walked back inside, very slowly but not limping, and then laid down by the door. took a few steps, did that again. And again. Did not want to get up for her treat. I tried feeling her legs to see if there was a spot where she would not let me near, she didn't move, didn't make a sound.
I am hoping that maybe she just slept funny... Can that happen with dogs? She is laying back down now and I'll have to see how she does, and if I need to get her into the vet today. Has to be before noon or I will have to take her to the ER-Vet which is *very* expensive.
*fingers crossed that she feels better!!!*
And yes, I am worried about my brother too. I texted him yesterday morning- just a quick, hey, how ya doing? He texts me back-- Good and you? I say fine, and ask if he is at work. He replies Yeah. Are you ok? I say back, All good here, just saying hi.
I figured that maybe *somehow* he didn't hear the news about his friend's parents.:noidea:
A few minutes later, I get another text-- Did you hear about John's mom?
I text back, yeah, that is actually why I texted you, to see how you were doing. He says he is fine, which prompts me to check in with my SIL.
He is absolutely *not* fine, but doesn't want to talk to me about it, because I "have too much on my plate." She knows how I feel about that stuff, and we both can't figure out why he is so stubborn. I am NOT fragile!!!!
This friend group has known each other since they were little kids. And they are intertwined, friendships and marriages alike. There is no objective party that he can talk to. I know them all, but I am outside of it. And he has to be a stubborn Italian male who is all strong and keeps everything inside until :boom:
I spoke to my mom yesterday and she is going to be seeing him today. She is going to pass along the msg that if he needs to talk, I am fine and would rather be able to help him that to see him struggle.
So that was my day yesterday.
Today- my mom is coming up to bring Scott his favorite guitar that he had to leave in PA cuz there was not any room left in my car when we left. Then... I have no clue! Its so nice, but I really want to do some scrapping. Maybe I can try to scrap outside? Its always so hard to see the screen, especially since the laptop is pretty old and cait scratched the screen up a lot.
But the good thing is that the sun is shining and I have a wonderful group of family and friends. Can't ask for more than that. (I could ask for some $$, that would be nice and then I wouldn't have to worry about how I will have to pay the vet!)
