Jealous

Friday was tough.  I am part of a pet grief group on Facebook so that has been a good release for me. I have felt this since Esa passed - jealous. Jealous of people who have their pets for a long time. It really hit me on Friday so here is what I posted.

It was nice to hear I was not alone.  I know that there is a plan for us - just can't see it right now.

Jealous - all I can say is that I am jealous of all the people who have their fur babies for a long time. 

Jealous and asking why our fur babies were both taken from us after a short 6 years when we were the best parents. And only 3 years apart. They were our kids and our world revolved around them. 

Yes, Zed was older, but still had a short life considering we think he was 10/11.  Still thought we would have more than 6 years with him. 

We know several friends who love their animals, but kids and life come first. So jealous is the only word I can think of to describe my pain.

Cleaning and purging

So I finally got around to cleaning out my closet. I have so many clothes at so many different sizes, now that I'm down from my largest size (18), it's time to get rid of those so I don't go back.

I had two underbed storage bags FULL of clothes.  I went through the one back and I'm waiting on the other since they are mostly work clothes.

I went through my other bag of purses and pulled a bunch of those too.

Now - if I can sell some stuff, that would be great!  I'll be posting to Facebook and try to sell them that way. Otherwise, it will be donated.

After

What a day

So today was the first time in years I was out of the house for a good 8 hours.

I had two networking events and left the house at 9 am.  They were done at 1:30 and I had an appointment at 3:30 for a massage. - yep, that's right - a massage.  Anyway, instead of going home, I hung out at Panera around the corner from my massage appointment. So, I didn't get home until after 5 pm today.

So about 2 weeks ago, my shoulder started hurting. Last Tuesday, it was so bad, I could hardly move my arm.  I went to the chiropractor and was told it was my rotator cuff.  After an alignment, it felt better and the swelling went down some.  I was also told to go get a massage.

My shoulder feels so much better.
