Plenty of time to deal with paperwork!

On a happier note - I got a really nice ride yesterday. Kyote was a very good boy. Did the inside of me a world of good.
I'm glad that you have more time to deal with the details.

It's great that you found time for a ride. I'm glad that it made you feel better. I know back when I had a horse, riding was the best medicine that I could have.

I posted about this in the grief forum, but this forum feels more like my "home" at PC. I'm finding that I'm not in a good place to reply to folks tonight. I'm not even getting any pleasure out of the threads that normally bring a smile to my face.

When I'm hurting I need to just sort of sit and let it be. Is anyone willing to just sit with me tonight?

and the lunacy continues....

I checked with our office manager several times today to see if the fax came from the funeral home. The answer was "no" each time.

I had an appointment with a dental specialist (that's a whole other story!) this afternoon. I was tired and stressed when I left the dentist so I called the office to see if the fax had arrived. Still "no". I told the office manager that I wasn't feeling well so I was going home, if the fax arrived to please scan it to my e-mail and I'd deal with it tomorrow.

At 4:30 PM, as I'm driving home I get a call on my work cell from a number I didn't recognize. Answered the phone the way I always do "This is First Name." The person on the other ends asks "I am speaking to First Name?" My first thought (OK, I'm not feeling well and am cranky as a result) is "Did ya not just hear me say my name???" But this is my work number so I remain professional and acknowledge that is who I am. IT'S THE PERSON FROM THE FUNERAL HOME!!!!!! She's just then getting ready to send me the paperwork. She says she got busy today and is just now getting ready to send it. Okaaaaay. Then she says she needs it back tomorrow!

I know I'm stressed. I know I'm tired. I know I don't feel well. All this adds up to a cranky Liz, but for pity's sake it seems everyone involved in this mess thinks I should drop everything I'm doing and do what they want RIGHT NOW!!!!!

My mouth hurts. I'm exhausted. I don't feel well. Oh yeah - I AM GRIEVING TOO!!!!! Now that I've gotten the rant out of my system I'm going to veg for awhile, watch tonight's new episode of Gotham and head for bed.

I suck at these things so I'll stay in the background and offer hot beverages.

Life is so hard at times.

LOL....sometimes with things like that my stubborn takes over & my comment ends up being something like "I will do the best I can to get it back to you as soon as it's possibly convenient for me....I can't perform miracles!!!! especially when it wasn't a high priority to get it to me sooner so that I could get it & take care of it today!!!!"....especially after the dental work I've had done lately also.....anything painful in the mouth = cranky with NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!
H
Honestly there is NOTHING LIKE HORSE THERAPY!!!! & horse therapy with someone else who loves it is ever greater.

Aw Liz..... what a horrid mess. It wasn't a situation that you created either. Dental work would be the last thing you need to be dealing with right now and neither is the stupid paper work. Sounds like another gentle ride on a horse would be good for you. I'll bring some carrots for the horse and more cuppa's.
