My A had an appt today at 8:15am. I set my clock and got up. I asked if she had set a clock she said the dogs would wake her up.
So she got up & feed most all the dogs indoors. Gave meds, flushed vinnys wounds took him to pee, gave him water & fed him. Then doctored the two other dogs before she got dressed to leave.
I looked at the microwave clock. It appeared to be 7:17am. I sat down and turned on the computer. I have the atomic clock set on here so the time is right. Oops there is a 13 minutes discreptancy. the power had gone out this week and she must have reset the microwave without looking at the real time.
It was 7:49am when she left, her appt is 8:15am and she has a 45 min ride. Hmm, not gonna get there on time yet she is going anyway. HUH? I swear she has no concept of time.
But you know what? It is not my appt, my business, or my problem. I just do not care. As long as she is back by 3pm. I am ok. Hopefully she will be back around noon & we can go get the government commodities food today. If she is not it was not meant to be.
I had planned on pushing myself and getting clothes bagged up to take to town too when we go get the food. but I am going to get some much needed rest. I deserve it.
Wow that is huge and you are looking after your needs first. You should be really proud of yourself. I loved the bit about you deserving a rest. Sorry if I misunderstood the amount of hours you worked earlier was just concerned that you had no time for you. Luv Leo xxx
You take a rest and enjoy it, I too have had to stop taking responsibility for everyone else's problems, I wish you joy with your animals, mine are a comfort.
