It doesn't fail. Another thing to add to my shit list this year. Nothing like having your large dog get skunked 3:30 at night and not being able to go out and buy the ingredients needed for the de-skunk process. So to top that off, she is outside, which I can't stand to have, plus add in a cold draft tonight. She's almost 12 and shouldn't be out there :(
Also I will not be attending college this semester due to financial problems, will be losing all cable connections as well. That should take effect sometime Monday or whatnot, the road is being paved, so it'll be closed, I have to deal with Department of Social Services again with more bull and hoops to deal with.
Switched to a new Behavioral Health center close to home and will restart sessions on Wednesday, thanks goodness. Had a huge blowup to Glenn's family Monday after dealing with DSS and coming home to a house full of family members, whom should not have even gone into an unoccupied house. Anyways, Helen was in the hospital earlier that day and she was brought home and I just thought an intervention was upon myself and Glenn about putting Helen into a nursing home because they feel we can no longer care for her. I'm not denying she should not be put in a group home, but at this time, we know and she knows that either way, Myself and Glenn would have nowhere to go and in turn I think we would be thought of as taking advantage of her, which is far from the truth. Anywho, I blew up in front of them, totally surprising myself and Glenn (Because I'm the quiet one for the most part) I bottle up stuff way too often and that situation just became the straw that broke the camel's back.
I also am in the midst of being a poor dog owner and recently gave up Ozzy to his former rescuer. He has found a new hopefully permanent home now, which I broke my promise to him. And Squirt is also on the same path. She will be a longer process though, because unlike Ozzy, she did not come from a place I would like to send back to. Merlot, Nuka and Dakota are here because well, I'm just in a spot in life were my stress levels are too high with others and basically trying to compromise, despite my feelings towards my actions. I feel horrible that I of all dog people, had to the one thing I swore I would never do. I can provide food, shelter and vaccinations so that was not the problem. People are the problem, always have been and I'm also the problem, not being able to cope with many people. It's awful to be in this state of mind.
So amongst all this stuff, I can still laugh a bit, only because I think I'm starting to become numb to all this karma.
