I have read the Ugly American. Is she trying to show you that entitled jerks exist everywhere? It is about American diplomatic corps in a fictional country. They are loud, obnoxious, and arrogant - they isolate themselves from the local people and don't try to learn or understand them. There are a couple of characters who are not like that.

I think I read that the ugly american title was a joke based on Greene's Quiet American

So sorry Scarlet. What a terrible time to lose a job
SK--I would be baffled too if my T didn't respond to my texts about an appt, especially since she initiated it! I hope you hear back from her soon. My eldest cat Jack has lost his voice, and I hope he is okay. He has been eating still, so I am holding off on calling the vet. I can't wait too long because I am going out of town next week, and there is no way I could do it knowing I had a sick cat at home |

Hugs, Velcro. I hope Jack is okay. I wish Rascal had somehow let us know he wasn't feeling well before we left on Saturday... we would not have left either.

I just wrote a letter for H begging for his job back... Let's see if that works. It's a bad job, they disrespect him to the point of abuse, they don't pay him enough, but it does bring in some income. Part of me hopes he gets his job back so we have some income, but another part of me doesn't because I want him to take looking for a better job more seriously.
Thankfully, L is reducing her fee by 50% next month AND she's finished writing her part for the single case agreement. __________________ "Odium became your opium..." ~Epica |

Velcro and Artie - I'm sorry about your cats. I know how precious pets are. I still miss my Fruit. I wait to hear her beg for food every night or to say good morning to her and let her out of her cage.

Thanks Scarlet. I thought I saw Rascal out the corner of my eye last night, that was hard. This evening when I fed the other two, and realized I didn't have to do an insulin injection I got a little lump in my throat. Thankful that Stormy (Rascal's brother) seems to be doing fine in his absence. I'm realizing after the fact that Rascal passing at home like he did probably helped Stormy too - he must 'know' or sense or something, and isn't looking for his brother. Like I imagine he would be if we had taken Rascal alive to the vet and then not brought him back home. I think I found the picture that h wants to print and hang on a wall so I need to get that done. |

Why are nights so hard sometimes? I've been awake since about 3:45am my time and can't go back to sleep. My brain is in a constant loop of beating myself up for leaving Rascal in the first place, then for putting my son in that position (he was taking care of him for us) the guilt for both things keeps taking turns with a big hammer banging against my heart trying to completely break it. I don't know how to forgive myself. I'm sure my son will never forgive me either and that hurts even more than the rest. I keep telling myself that we didn't know how sick Rascal really was, the vet didn't even know, so how were we supposed to know? But it's not helping. I know there's no answers here.

Hugs, Artie. I tend to have a lot of trouble sleeping, too, which mainly shows itself as being awake for stretches in the middle of the night. It's difficult to turn my mind off once it starts. I do sometimes use a sleep meditation that's available in the FitBit Premium app, but I'm sure there are free ones available on YouTube (or one of those other meditation apps). That helps sometimes.

Even if there were some wrongdoing here, it is just not accurate to believe that your son "will never forgive you." You didn't stand up at his wedding and call his new wife a wh0re or drive drunk with his baby in the car or set his house on fire or do anything truly awful!!! Like you say, you didn't know there was anything wrong with Rascal. You need to forgive yourself, because I'm sure Rascal is not holding a grudge against you or your husband now. He's at peace. And as someone else said, it may have eased the process for him. Give yourself some grace and remember all the good times you had with Rascal, and honor his memory.

I tried to quote LT, but it wasn't working. Anyway, I like meditations by Michael Sealey on YouTube. His voice is so relaxing! They are quite long, but that's okay if I fall asleep midway, all to the good!
