I'm really missing my friend Tim right now. A couple days ago marked two years since the day he died. Even though we had our moments where we didn't get along very well he was still one of my best friends. He has also met a few people from this forum though I think mainly just Nolu and Sweet.
Anyways the other day was the first time I had ever been to his grave. I had been wanting to go for a long while, but held back because I was afraid it would make it that much more real that he is gone. I was right. Going there made it feel so fresh and real again. But, it was also really good for me to go. Cried/laughed/remembered all the good times.
Still... Today I really miss him. I've lost people in my life before, but I think because he was a close friend and because his death was so sudden and unexpected it is harder to let go. I know a number of his friends feel the same.

I am sick and tired of all the work in this house falling to me. I am running a grooming salon, doing all the chores, taking care of Winnie, and working with a few rescues around the area. My brother in law is a lazy SOB who does absolutely nothing he says he will. I pulled a muscle in my side yesterday doing HIS chore (mowing the lawn) and got yelled at for yelling at him about it - he got out of his stupid car yelling at ME for doing it... Sorry but the grass was over grown and I didn't want a city notification.
He doesn't help with the dishes though he eats here almost every night.
He has never cleaned the bathroom though he uses it on a regular basis.
He makes the dogs bark coming in every morning because he doesn't know how to open or shut a door quietly.
He is literally THE laziest human being I have ever met and I can't STAND him, but my inlaws think he's freaking perfect and won't do anything about it. UGH.
Sorry, that was a LOT longer than I thought it would be.

I made the mistake of mentioning that I have a dog not living with me in one of my classes today. My classmate pretty much thought it was ridiculous I couldn't manage to keep my dog with me.
Thank you so very much for that. If only you comprehended the lengths I went to and the internal battles I had over this decision.
In great news, the reason that came up is because I'm going to visit her Wednesday-Thursday!

Been a bad week. Everything just sorta off-kilter and no one is on the same page. Both BeAu and Rhio have had bad days at work this week. Tried to have a good day yesterday and went out to the Zoo with everyone + my brother and the guys bonded well. Seemed like things were looking up for all of us.
Today, BeAu's aunt died. He nearly had a wreck on the way to school. Broke down a few times. He's in a bad spot, and I wish I could do something to help him, and I can't.

Today thoroughly sucked. SO BAD.
1. I was late to work because I woke up feeling beat and sick to my stomach. I am sure it is because I crapped out and ate a hamburger last night after working the agility trial all weekend. I convinced myself I deserved it and the trial work cancelled it out (I did lose 4 lbs in two days). So I got in late because I was sick.
2. Boss calls us all to a meeting and tells us one of our coworkers passed away this morning. He hadn't been on our floor for about a year and I didn't know him that well but it's very sad. He had a wife and two kids and has been battling cancer a while.
3. I got sick THREE TIMES at work.
4. Work just plain sucked today.
5. I stopped by the grocery store on the way home, which added an additional 30 min on the time the dogs would be left at home. I usually grocery shop on the weekend but I didn't with the trial. I justified it thinking the dogs had been out for 9 hours yesterday so 30 mins wouldn't matter...
I walked in the door and the first thing I noticed was the house smelled like ****. It was AWFUL. I got to the back room and it looks like a dog exploded in the playpen. I mean... 3 or 4 piles of barf. Bunch of pee. and probably 3 piles of poop. My entire house reeked. And Mia is covered in brown head to foot.
It must have started early because much of the puke was undigested kibble. I will spare you the entire details but I spent over an HOUR cleaning up the mess.
6. One of my fish is bloated up and floating on the bottom of the tank but not quite dead yet. I'm thinking about letting the rest of my fish die off (there's 3 now) and then just not restocking the tank. It sucks because I like my fish but it's a lot of work.
7. To top it off I bought two things of conditioner instead of one shampoo and one conditioner.
All I wanted was to come home, eat my soup, and then take a bubble bath. Now I'm airing out my house and on fish hospice watch trying not to think about how much today sucked.

There are four people at work who take turns cleaning after hours. Monday is my day. Mondays are the only day that no one else will cover. One won't because her boyfriend helps her clean and he doesn't like to clean on Mondays because she's off on Tuesdays. She won't clean by herself. At some point, I've covered every other cleaning day, yet I'm the only one who, even though I was sick today, no one will cover the cleaning. No one else has to come in to clean when they're ill.
Irritated.

The people from Friday who turned their cat over to the clinic because we wouldn't euthanize him? Yeah. They called today. "LOL nevermind I guess we'll take him back and try to retrain him." WTF. What if we would have euthanized him?! You don't just make decisions like that lightly and then decide, oh nevermind I suppose we can put in an ounce of effort.
I mean I guess it's good that he's back home, but something tells me these people are only going to give it a matter of days before they're fed up again.
Also: insert rant about snow in April.

We have a clause in our contract when someone signs an animal over that they cannot, under any circumstances, get the animal back. If you're ready to give up on your animal, especially for a reason as stupid as that, they're better off elsewhere. Plus if we didn't have that I could guarantee you someone would try to sign an animal over, get it treated (for free), and then want it back. NOPE.
