MKAC, I'm so sorry. Losing a beloved pet is really hard and when you don't have a supportive partner, it must be that much worse.
I went to the dentist this morning. I had a 9:00 appointment and they were running 45 minutes late already! Added to my pdoc running 45 minutes late yesterday, I'm getting a complex. I have T this afternoon. I hope he's not running late, too, but he usually is on Thursdays.
