I'm going to tell you about the rest of my day now...

I'm going to tell you about the rest of my day now because I'm in bed and about to put it behind me.

When I was walking Booka this morning I heard the all-too-familiar pop and crackle sound that a limb makes when it's about to fall. Unfortunately, me and Boo were under the tree who made the sound and I didn't have time to see which limb was coming down. In my rush to move us out of the way I accidentally gave him a knee upside his head. That's the last thing I wanted to do especially since he had a seizure only a little over a week ago. But the important thing was that he didn't get hit by the limb - which was actually right above us and sizeable enough to have caused injury had we not moved.

The other notable not-great thing that happened today was right after we put Midna to sleep. Shaun usually holds the animals for that, but I had my sweet Shitty Kitty in my lap on a soft blanket. Once she had passed I had another good cry and a hugged her little body while I did it. I didn't really consider what I already know happens when death comes and I ended up with a smelly liquid down my leg. I'm pretty grateful that I'd left my gym bag in the car over the weekend because I went back into the vet's office and changed my pants before driving home.

The best things about today were these: Shaun stayed home from work to be with me, Dinorah checked on me, and I got a large haul of plant mail. Some of my trading partners were very generous and those packages couldn't have come at a better time.

I feel pretty bad so I'm heading to bed. I didn't get enough sleep last night and had to be up early today. That plus all of the crying I've done has left me with a really rough headache. I'm hoping some rest will do me good. Today kicked me in the teeth, but tomorrow is a new day. I hope you all are doing well. ♥
