Hope you're planning some downtime today...
The season is getting to me. Had a good cry last night as I feel I am so unprepared for Christmas. Nothing bought, no cards sent, no decorations up. Hubby came over though whilst I was sobbing and came back this morning with a pack of Christmas cards and we did at least get those out. H and I will be going to buy the Christmas food in a bit (well what we can get in the freezer) and some presents have arrived from good old Amazon. I have decided though not to put anything else for sale on etsy as I just cant cope with sorting out shipping stuff as well as Christmas at the moment.
I'm glad you're stopping trying to list everything too....
Sweetheart I had a bit of a crash down about Christmas too, but you know what I realised? It doesn't matter if we're eating beans on toast (or just toast as H doesn't like beans) the only thing that matters really is that we are together. Presents are nice, but not essential. I don't send many Christmas cards at all and would rather put that money aside to run this place for a while... Anyone who matters not only won't mind, but will understand. Anyone who doesn't isn't worth worrying about...
My friend has been bad again this week. Spent last night on her sofa.
Oh no! Send her our love too hunni please. Are you able to look after you too?
Oh no, bless her. Big hugs to both of you(panda)
She is a lot better tonight. Started the day with her so pale a ghost would have more colour, but by tonight she looked and acted much better. She felt safe to be left tonight. I am looking after myself.
Glad you're looking after you.. Hope she's feeling brighter...
Yes I think so. Been a busy morning taking stock to the shop. Selling a puffin back home now. Hoping for a quiet afternoon making cows before the kids class.
Hope you're resting lovely
Have you put your feet up at all today?
Are you at least resting now? What about the weekend?
How are you today, love? What’s your plans today?
Dogs? You getting another one?
That's the plan. There is another Kelpie cross who needs a home. We will be fostering her at first and if everything settled down ok then adopting her.
Are you well enough to add in another dog? I think it's great that you are thinking about it and want to help her....
Yes I think I am. Overall in the last 13 months I have been so much better. My downs are not as bad and I am better st managing them. I have always wanted to have more than one dog and having this younger one will mean a good companion for Ember as well as keeping me active longer.
Awesome!
H and I have discussed it and the new dog will be here. It will give her a new focus now that A has gone with the safety net that if looking after her becomes too much that o can step in.
What is happening with A? Is it definitely over, then?
Yes. I think she has decided that they are not good for each other and they are better off without each other.
I'm sorry it hasn't worked out for her, but tbh with what you've said about him she's so much better off without him!
How are you today?
We have been busy cleaning. We have spent more time cleaning for the home check than we did for the arrival of my son this afternoon.
Oh God, I remember that stress! If it goes well, when does the little one come home?
As soon as can be arranged. We are hoping Wednesday
How are you today? Have you had your home check?
I'm ok but very tired. Have decided I may not go to work today. The home check went well. They are checking if the new dog is aggressive to other dogs tomorrow.
Did you rest?
Yes. Apart from three loads of washing and changing the bed I have been listening to my audio book and sewing.
Good!
Well the new girl arrives Friday. I broke the news to hubby tonight and he is furious. He always is when I get a new pet. The trouble is that he gets too attached to my pets and can't cope when they pass on. He will get used to the situation eventually but in the meantime he sat on my sofa in stoney silence for an hour before taking himself off back home.
What’s her name? Have you got a pic?
Sorry he's cross.
How are you atm?
Her name is Macey. I can't put up a picture on Facebook as H is fighting A over the cats and does not want him to have an excuse to take him.
Surely it makes sense for H to keep the cat as they are stable at home?
