Tuesday. *mental check* Yes. Tuesday.
If I had a dime for every time I checked the date or asked someone what the date is and will be over the past 24 hours, well, I would have at least a dollar!
Yesterday was quite the day. I was feeling down after reading how everyone here is having a rough time. (don't take that to stop sharing, it just is that I feel bad when other people are struggling and I can't help). I got bad news from one friend. Gary clipped Ray's nails and nicked the quick and it bleed- a lot. Every time she got up and wandered around, it would start up again and she bled all over the carpet. That meant I had to do quick steam clean of the tracks she left (it was that bad, spot cleaning was not going to do the trick). At dinner, I got more bad news from my BFF and the Sept get together is getting more complicated than I would like.
(Notice that I didn't include the weekly grocery shopping struggle that was happening during the Ray and Friend #1 issues. I HATE that there is that countdown timer of the window that you have left to finalize your order or you lose it. It makes it so stressful. Try dealing with that while your dog is bleeding everywhere and your friend is crying.
)
All I want to do is makes things better for everyone. Why is that impossible??? *mumbles about life not being fair and all that* All I can do is send virtual hugs, it is not enough. My heart hurts for everyone.
I need to practice self-care today. Not sure how I plan to do that just yet but I have to do something.
I will start with Gratitudes:
-it is Leah's b-day and I am happy every day that she is in our lives
-Scott and Gary's sense of "humor"- they are both so weird!!!!!
-Cait and I spending time together yesterday
Hugs to all of you!
