It's thursday and it's warm out and I am not sure where this will go but I wanted to write. So it will be a rambling blog.
My life right now is a creative mass of super stress and super brain exploding situations.
Super stress at work as the clock ticks down on the date of the Community Health fair that I am the organizer of and is being sponsored by the office. I am finding exibitors, making calls, emails and checking off lists. I didn't know it would be this difficult or that I would be doing it alone. Wow, doesn't that sound familiar.
Brain exploding situation is Mercury and what is happening with him. The vet said it was a matter of one or two months depending on his pain level. The cancer is back, the pain is still there when he eats sometimes. He is quiet and snuggly most of the time. Looking at me with those brown eyes that are melting my heart and making me cry for him. Then ten minutes later, if it involves getting up and going outside for a walk...he is ready, chipper and up.
It hurts just to know that he won't be around soon. But I am trying to do the best I can for him. I am afraid that I just won't know 'when' the time will come. I don't want him to be in pain, but I don't want to let him go yet either.
There is more stacked on top of both of these, but that's the big gist of it. Last week was the super stress, this week has been more 'get 'er done' type of mood. The health fair is sneaking up on me (June 20) and I have to get more people locked into coming.
I realized today at lunch with a friend that I have not eaten at home since Monday at lunch. Monday night I went to dinner with friends, same for Tuesday night and Wednesday night. Wednesday lunch I was out with our office to celebrate one woman getting her masters. I will be home eating left overs from the doggie bags tonight. It's been fun, different foods each night and different places to enjoy. Tuesday night was some really great Greek food, yesterday lunch was a fantastic turkey cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. Yummy.

Life. Life just keeps on coming, doesn't it? I'm so desperately sorry about Mercury.
HUGS
So glad you've been able to enjoy meals and time with friends, Betsy. Will be praying for the completion of your planning for the upcoming "Fair" in June. Kudos to you for all you do...unheralded and often unappreciated, I'm sure ;) Blessings on your weekend,
Betsy,
I'm sorry about Merc. Having just been there, I am confident that you will do the right thing at the right time (I can't explain it--you'll just know when it's time)
Hang in there & make every day special for him
