Hi scholar! What exactly are you working on now--are you looking for a different place to live?
The dogs are here, the little nervous one is more nervous this time, he's sitting on the couch howling, but very quietly, if you can picture that. I've tried comforting him but he's not having it.

PerrinJade I hear you about finding the right support. It's so annoying (and can be exhausting) to have to always pay attention to that! But you sound remarkably postive. Diane, the little beagle sounds so pathetic! poor guy. Okay, I got one thing that was making me anxious done. Not the biggest thing, but the most urgent--deadline today. I need to rethink my schedule. When I have an evening class looming, I fret about it all day. Maybe I should just get it over with in the morning. Except I am never on time for morning appointments. (not that I am on time for evening appointments, !) And going to the gym involves taking showers, which I dread. Don't really know why. So I need to make this into something habitual and automatic, so that I don't have time to get worked up over it. I need to engage my rational mind. I know... I think I'll try tapping.

Oh, Chris, so sorry. I've done a lot of running around today. Exercise class, Goodwill drop-off, library drop-off, got cash, grocery shopping, and greeting card store. My close card store turned out to be closed, as in, out of business. Don't know how long ago that happened--I was just there around Christmas. DH did some yard clean-up at my mom's, as there were lots of twigs that fell during the last storm. It's about time to start throwing dinner together. I guess I'll get back into housekeeping mode after that; be back later.

Hi friends. Very challenging day here but wer'e home now. I'm hurting - my heart hurts and my ribs on my right side again flared up after having been almost completely clear now I'm in quite a lot of pain and it feels swollen. I'm resting trying to feel better. Had to make the most difficult choice ever today and put Meena out of her dis-comfort. The vet was very compassionate and helpful. My heart is broken but it broke worse seeing her struggle. She's at peace now. We wait for the call to get her cremated remains. I was up with her from 3 am on and I know it was good to have the extra special time with her. A lot of it was mopping but I was right there to make sure she didn't get wet + clean up the pee before she got into it. She did rest pretty well toward morning and I took my shower. I tell you ... this house doesn't feel right at all without my Meena .... 17 years she was with me/us.... pretty much in charge of this household. I've been hurting for all her many losses and body dis-functions for a long time -- but she showed such a fighting spirit & she got every drop of the good life while she could. All the crying hurts my ribs - in 30 minutes I can take more Motrin. Oh, Chris, I'm so sorry about your Meena. You gave her a good life. Take care of yourself.

Chris! you did so well, you took such good care of Meena. Sorry for your physical and emotional pain.
Diane poor mr howly. he'll jsut have to howl it out i guess.
ended up with another walk so it took the usual amount of time but i'm a little less tired because a little less exertion. however, i might go to my anxiety/anger/etc meeting instead of cleaning... you know, i dont want to walk there, i havent had bike fixed yet. Maybe friend will want to go, will text her now. if not i'll clean. and stuff face with chocolate.

Chris I am so sorry about Meena. You were a wonderful mom to her. You were blessings to each other. May God bless you both. Hugs and prayers.

Thank you everyone for the support in regards to Meena. I'm going to my doctor tomorrow -- my rib pain is really awful -- feels like a pulled muscle. I did get the dishes washed and watched a movie with Marble kitty. I'm going to see if I can rest some more. The major clean up will have to wait. The world just seems to have stopped.

Chris, how is Marble doing? Was (s)he close to the other 2 cats?
I got a call from my decluttering client, and a call from my sister, she sounds okay.
Next, I'm going to start a load of laundry, and then sit at my main desk and try to work on desk tidying and paperwork. Both my desks look ridiculously messy and I'll feel better if they're both neater. I'll try to give it an hour, and then I'll start my night time routine.

Well, my hour of desk decluttering is over. It's amazing how long stuff like that takes, my desk does look marginally better but it doesn't seem like it looks good enough to account for an hour of time.
Next:
Give everyone fresh water Restock drinks in fridge Scoop litter pans Check locks

Puppybox, were YOU impressed by the meeting?
Sue, we have a sort of sleet coming down, and the lawns are white-ish. Earlier I heard we were supposed to get 1-3 inches overnight, but I haven't looked at weather lately--I'll just wait until morning and look out the window and see what I see!
