  1. Some days the world makes me feel tired, and today I feel very, very tired.

      I'm sorry to hear you are feeling so tired.  Sitting with you if okay.

  2. Happy new year AS family. Wishing you all the best in 2024. 

  3. Feel like I'm caught in an endless cycle that I'll never be able to break. 😔

  4. My dog is having a procedure done on his eye tomorrow morning. I'm nervous about it.

      Awww. Sitting with you @snmls. Hoping your furbaby heals quickly.. :hug:

      Thanks Mary. He's doing okay. It's been a bear getting the eye drops in multiple times a day, but I think he's doing better. He's going for a recheck on Wednesday.

      Hope his check up goes well @snmls

  5. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month.  :tealribbon: This year's theme is “Drawing Connections: Prevention Demands Equity.” This campaign calls on all individuals, communities, organizations, and institutions to change ourselves and the systems surrounding us to build racial equity and respect.

  6. Getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow. 😬 Sitters welcome and good vibes appreciated!

      Pocket riding! :throb: 

      I know how anxious you can be. I had two teeth pulled earlier this year. It's certainly not fun. 

      Hope you are stocked up on softer foods for a few days. An added inconvenience on top of the anxiousness of the appointment itself.

      Safe hugs. :hug:

      Pocket riding with you!!! (Hopefully I'm not too late!) I hope it goes well. I haven't had mine out...so I can't say, but I've heard it's not fun. Take gentle care of yourself afterwards. Treat yourself to something nice. ❤️ Best wishes! *safe hugs*

      Thank you all. The procedure went well and the pain has been minimal. Been eating all the soft foods. 

      The only downside is that I'm recovering at my parents house and all their fighting has been upsetting and triggering to me. Definitely not the most healing environment. Hopefully, I'll be back in my apartment tomorrow. 

  7. Be kind to yourself this holiday season.

      Hi @Doll6, @Mave, @mini.finch, and @MeBeMary. Thanks for the well wishes. Sorry to take so long to reply back. The first session went well. I think she is someone I will work well with and feel comfortable with. We'll see how our relationship evolves over the next few weeks.

      Glad it went well, but yes. It takes time for a relationship and trust to build. It's a good start tho and I hope it continues to build properly. :up:

  14. T told me today that she is leaving the practice in May. Just sad. I don't like having to start over. 

    1. MeBeMary

      MeBeMary

      So sorry to hear that. I know creating a bond is never easy. I do hope you find one that will be just as worth it.

      Thanks Mary. I hope that I am able to have another good transition with a new T. This is my second time starting over due to a T leaving the practice. 

    3. Finchy

      Oh no. That really sucks. :( I hope that things will go well with getting a new T. Wishing you all the best. ❤️

  20. How are we all feeling? There was some triggering news in the US today. If you need a hug or a sitter just ask. Thinking of survivors today.

      Honestly I'm not from that part of the world but yeah so many strange things are happening in the world right now, we've gone from doom and gloom to just bizarre.

      I had to google it, and I have to say...it is relatable to me. Perhaps I am with you :throb:

      Thank you @Ian37 and @Free2Fly. It seems like now, months later, I'm finally starting to really grieve the loss of this relationship.

      Yw, I can relate it's never easy.

  25. Anyone else feel overwhelmed by "Giving Tuesday?" Like I am getting bombarded with emails and I want to help, but I can only give so much. It makes me feel guilty and selfish.

      I like to 'give' via amazon charities, that way its not 'cash' but an actual item(s) the charity requested.  I favour charities that help children but thats just me, I also like charities that focus on literacy.  I have a very small amount set aside each month that I use for this purpose.  Thank you grocery store for 2x and 4x fuel points on gift cards- i buy amazon gc for all my amazon needs!

      That's smart @frog52. Amazon smile is an easy way to give back.
