I haven't had the inspiration to blog.. maybe I can change that with some random blabbings.
:: The Good
We found out some months ago that
our landlord, who lived below us, was selling the house we live in. We found
all this out when he decided to have someone come view the property (IE: our
apartment) on two separate occasions. He refused to tell us he was selling
until the day he actually sold it. We got a text at 11pm saying we had new
landlords.
Ok, stressful. We aren’t in the
best of spots financially, nor emotionally, and couldn’t imagine having to pack
up and move before the holiday season. We stressed about it for a few days
until we had our meeting with the new landlord. And everything went great. They
turned out to be the nicest little family and they were so nervous about asking
us to put the garbage out on the curb.
PHEW! Our apartment is quirky and
looks like a religious Grandmother went to an antique store. We’ve made it our
home and couldn’t imagine moving out, just yet at least.
:: The Bad
My dog has been dealing with
chronic heart failure for the past 6 months or so. She has good days, and bad
days. Most days are good, but on the off days it’s really difficult to think of
what lays ahead of us. She’s reached a high daily dosage of diuretics,
receiving pills every 8 hours, and she’s on 5 different pills. She was going to
the cardiologist weekly, and now she just needs to go in if she shows signs of
a worsening condition. We know what is going to happen, eventually her kidneys
will give and the true battle begins. I know she’ll let me know when it’s too
much for her to fight anymore, and every day I’m thankful I still have her in
my life.
It doesn’t make things any easier
and I struggle to stay out of a dark haze most days. I don’t feel like myself,
and I’m already in mourning. I often get pangs in my chest, as if my heart is
already breaking, and I haven’t even lost her yet. It’s just.. hard.
Her thing lately is farting and humping her favorite toy. So, really things aren't as dire as I make them seem. She's just.. my everything.
The In-between
Work has been ever increasing, the
holiday season being one of our busiest times of year. I’m averaging on 3 – 4
new client consultations a week, and I just had to extend my calendar to
accommodate all the last minute bookings. I’m still amazed at how many people
wait until such last minute to schedule pet sitting.
I’m almost all done with my
Christmas shopping! This is impressive for me, I usually wait until two weeks
before hand..
I’m slowly motivating myself to do
more DIY, at home projects. I am always on the go, so finding the time on this
one is hard. I have to make time, I do suppose..
