Today has been a weird day. There’s been good points, sad points, and poor health repercussions.
Let’s talk about the good thing first. RJK and I have come to a consensus concerning our finances💰, and it gives me hope for the first time this holiday season. No details, but I’m feeling better, and that means a lot in my life.
Now the sad. We have had a pup, Sylvie, for about three years now🐶. She was a stray, dropped off next to the stop sign across from our house. We fell in love 🩷 so we kept her. One of our neighbors said she would take her if we didn’t want her. Fast forward three years and neither my nor RJK’s health has gotten any better. We haven’t been able to give her the attention a younger dog needs.
Today, our neighbor, who would stop by from time to time to see her, took Sylvie in her car with food, bowls, toys, and a leash and took her home with her.
It was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make. We know there’s kids there, and a fenced area for her to play in. She’ll be with people who are good people, we’ve known them for ages. She told us if we started missing her to come over anytime. It’s going to be a rough adjustment period that I don’t look forward to, but even though I am sad right now, I am confident that we made the right decision for her happiness. It just doesn’t make us happy in the short term😭.
It’s taken me focusing on writing this post to calm my nerves. My heart has been doing some funky stuff and I’m not comfortable about it 😕. I probably need to schedule an appointment with my cardiologist soon and let her know about the whole situation. I want to be able to keep writing for the foreseeable future, and that requires a doctor sometimes.
