Thanks Eskie. Helps to know I'm not alone!
I think I am going to like the new supervisor. We have some similar interests. She has a lot of clinical experience. She's open to learning from the folks who work for her. Most importantly, I feel like I can talk to her about things. We'll see how it goes.
in terms of the other "stuff"....
Callie's tumor is definitely growing. There is obvious swelling on her face. She hasn't told me she's ready to go yet so we are carrying on.
Al scared the poo out of me Thursday. I could not find him when I got up that morning. Spent 20 minutes trooping the property bellowing his name. Found him flat on hisw side in a clump of weeds in the yard. I thought he was dead at first. I was standing over him before I could see him breathing.
Am having a bad fibro flare this week. This is one of the times I am mentally able to let myself sit back and wait for it to pass.
A couple of nights this week I was stressed out with pain and fatigue when I got home from work. The extra demands of caring for Callie and Al got to me. I was able to give myself permission for be annoyed about it. Acknowledging I was tired and sore and less patient made it easier to cope. I fed both of them and went off to take care of myself. Then I went to them and gave them some extra loving.
