Awwww @Anastasia ... I am so sorry. You're right though ... some days just totally suck!
And not only are you having a bad day, so too is your Boy by the sound of it. And of course that makes your day worse too. Oops .. a triggering post ... hope that wasnt any of mine?
Ummm ... I'm okay thanks. Exercise class this morning was good. My Dad got through his hospital pre-admission consult yesterday, and that went pretty well. They have to change his meds quite a lot and take him off his blood thinning meds a few days before his operation. But they put him on injections to take the place of the meds. But it appears that all is on track for his operation on the 30th of this month. Are your Dads scans being done next week?
I'm here if you want to chat ... try to take a few deep breaths and allow your worries to wash over you. Are you able to take a relaxing soak in the bath? Hug the dog? Call a friend? Do some diamond painting?
Love you.
Emelia 🤗💞

Thank you gorgeous, no not yours. He wants to chat when he gets home...never been good in the past when he "puts it out there" that he needs to talk. Had to "fix" last post, just adds to the day I've had, argh @Emelia8

Thinking of you today @Anastasia and hoping your day is an improvement on yesterday.
Back to work today for you as well. I hope you can take a lunch break and get to the gym as you'd planned to do.
I care about you so much, and worry when I know you are strugging through so much in your life. Always here for you.

Made me think of you @Anastasia
Definitely not saying you're always a mess, but you are always juggling so much that puts so much pressure on you. A warrior princess - that's how I picture you!!
