Good job. Just go over your past few journal entries and status postings and tell her what you’ve been telling us. 

It's always so hard for me to organize my thoughts..

I have such limited time with her..

I need to get to the most important thing that's happening..

I often end up breaking down and feeling ashamed that I let it get that bad..

I'm upset right now because she still hasn't gotten back to me..

I texted her yesterday morning..

I thought she would have responded yesterday..ugh..

It took everything I had to text her..

I've been avoiding this for so long..

I'm horrible at waiting once I make the effort to do something I've been putting off..

I hope she's not mad at me..

I feel like she is against me and doesn't want to help me..

Maybe I'm too much to deal with..

4 AM is a creepy time of day. it's like the world hasn't fully loaded yet, like a video game level or something. 

@saintalto I understand what you are saying..

I feel like he used to care about me more..was more supportive..understanding..

He does show that he cares though..he sent me a card for no reason that cheered me up..

It's just that I used to feel I could turn to him for anything..he helped me through so much..

We used to talk more..now it's rare..

I think he might be done trying to be that person in my life that I can turn to..

I might be too much for him..

Small talk might be all we can do now..

Sometimes that’s how it is. That’s how it is between my sister and I. She can’t deal with serious situations very well so we just keep things light. I don’t feel angry or upset with her, she just has those boundaries and I have to respect them if I want a relationship with her. 

I'm having trouble adjusting to how things are between him an me now..

So I feel hurt..

I'm glad that works for you

That is great, Cora

Keep it up! Savasana at the end is great, I get that emotional release with it also.

That’s wonderful news! Good pup Bailey! He is so lucky to have you!

It's a big relief..

One less thing to stress out about..

Glad to hear Bailey is better...!!

@CrazyRedhead I can't recall the name of the vaccination he got..

He's been getting the same food since he wasn't a puppy so I'm not sure if that could be the cause..

However..we did get him some different treats along with the same treats he always gets..

We have stopped giving him the new treats..but it didn't seem to help..

I always use the same detergent on his bedding and on my bed where he sleeps..

It's for sensitive skin..and I never use fabric softener..

No new cleaning supplies either..

So I don't know what started this..

We don't use any type of chemicals in the backyard..

And where we walk him they mark with flags areas that they have used fertilizer..

So we know to avoid those areas..

This morning he has stopped being so itchy..

So that's promising..

But I noticed that his hotspot under his arm is crusty and not looking good..

I'm worried about that..

He was scratching at that a lot before the shot..

I'm wondering if I should have the vet look at that..

@saintalto that poor doggie..

I hope we can figure out what's going on with Bailey..

The shot seems to be working this morning..

But I'd like a more natural solution if possible..

He has enough going on with his other condition and meds he takes..

Thank you for your kindness and support..

@coraline, he may need an antibiotic if the hot spots are not looking better......I think it would be a  good idea to let the vet look at the spots again.

Glad to hear he's not scratching as much, at least......The injection your vet gave him is most likely Cytopoint...It would be a good idea to find out for sure what it was.

If it was Cytopoint, I could give you some helpful info on that drug, my daughter is going to vet school and knows a lot about pet medications.

Maybe keep one of the two?

Argh’s solution seems like a great idea.You can still have one of the dresses and by returning the other you still have money left over.
