Butch Femme Planet - And how are you feeling?

Very, very sad. I work all weekend then when I come home Monday morning, I have to spend the final hours with our dog Baxter. He has cancer in both lungs and the vet is coming to the house in the afternoon to put him down. I don’t want to but he is suffering too bad and struggling to breathe, even with the meds they have him on. My spouse is heart broken. Her daughter died last month from cancer. Now our sweet special needs dog is going too. We are burning him out back next to our other Boston, Brandy, under the big oak tree. Thank goodness I’m on antidepressants now or I don’t think I could take it.

Gayandgray - My condolences on having to put your beloved pet to sleep. I have been there (twice actually) and you are right in regards to the suffering. I had to make that choice, too. I had to realize it was time to let go so that my pet(s) did not suffer any longer. Does not make it any more bearable, but there is solace in that. :candle:

My condolences to your spouse on the passing of her/his daughter. :candle:

I am feeling like I am on the mend. Now, I am tinged with sadness at reading Gayandgray's post.

It's really a mixed bag right now.

Like I have jet lag without having done the flying. I don't feel sick but maybe I'm coming down with a bug or something.

It's not ethical to let an animal suffer for our own emotional needs. When my Oliver's seizure meds started actually giving him seizures and he'd cycle through several in a row over and over, I knew it was time. Be with him to the end and make sure everyone gets a chance to say 'see you later'.

Like I’m way too old to be staying out until 4:00 AM. :seeingstars: It sure was fun, but I’m paying for it today. Oy! :D

I'm feeling a little achy from being on the bike for so long yesterday but also happy because it was sooooo much fun!

I feel pretty good. I got a good workout in today and will get to play with paint and paper again later so that'll make for a good time.

Feeling so-so. Stomach has felt off today as well. But, like they said it is going to take a bit to be back to my old self.

Okay. Didn't make it to the movies but I will soon. Will be busy as a bee at work for the next few weeks. That's good cuz it will keep me out of trouble and out of this funk. Still looking at pianos, but I have to build another emergency stash before buying anything since I had to fork out for a HVAC unit this summer.

Super happy and giddy today. It’s a brand new week and I’m ready to slay it. 💕

Feeling much more positive about my decisions lately.....Knowing I made the right decisions for the right reasons has given me some relief from the thoughts that have plagued me.... I can see a light at the end of the tunnel & it's not the train light I expected to see....

Overwhelmed. Numb. Just hope I get enough help quickly enough.

Terrified. Later today a friend is coming to help me look at my finances because I go into utter blind panic if I try to do so by myself. I'm so scared about what the result might be. And tommorow I have to go to another Universal Credit interview, and that's scary. And I need mental health support and maybe a little practical support for a while, and I'm anxious about applying for that. It's like inside about a month my life has fallen apart from being tough, but heading the right way, to shit I'm not sure I can cope anymore. My moods are up and down like a yo-yo.
