This week started so promising.
Monday & Tuesday were fantastic. I got my daily walks in. An hour each day, as I was trying to not over do it.
When I got home Tuesday, I felt so good & energetic, I decided to dismantle our bedroom to paint.
Plus, I was looking forward to Friday, the last day of school. The beginning of a glorious summer with my boy. Freedom from the clock & schedules.
It all went south Tuesday night when the insomnia hit. Really, I was dead tired. A good exhaustion from moving & activity. It felt so good to finally lay down for sleep. Sleep that would not come. Argh!
I think I fell asleep around 3 am. That 6 am alarm was a rude awakening. After getting the boy off to school, I lay down on the couch for a nap with the pup at my feet. We didn’t wake up until 1 pm, which of course totally messed with my sleep that night.
By Friday, things were looking so much better. The last day of school was finally here. The boy & I were ecstatic. Not even the rain could dampen our joy.
Unfortunately that evening, the pup got sick. We came home to find a nasty mess in the family room. It was awful & terribly scary. And, unfortunately we hadn’t found the worst of it when we called the vet’s office.
Saturday morning was spent at the Animal Clinic. Unfortunately, girlie was diagnosed with Pancreatitis. We had to leave her behind for treatment this weekend. Hopefully, we took her in early enough.
We aren’t supposed to hear from the Dr until Monday morning, unless something is wrong. This leaves me hoping that the phone will not ring. When it does ring, my hope is that it’s not the Animal Hospital. So far so good.
Still, she is missed terribly. The house is empty with out her. Our family is incomplete with her abscence.
I miss her beside me on the couch. The thump of her tail off the floor, cabinets & walls. The click of her nails across the floor. I miss her constant presence.
Her absence has thrown my world off kilter.
Looking forward to tomorrow when hopefully my life will be back to normal. When my whole family is home where they belong. When my world is once again complete.
