Hey there, everyone. So, let me be honest - I’m probably not going to catch up on a lot of previous notifications, but I at least wanted to answer the notifications for my previous post. I truly appreciate the love and support you guys have shown. Thank you so much. If you’re not caught up, one of our dogs crossed the Rainbow Bridge (passed away) last week. We all adored this dog and are heartbroken and shocked. Plus, I had a very tight bond with him. It’s all in the previous post, though. The week Dash passed, I barely left the house except twice (convenience store and groceries). I wound up skipping Trivia Night after all (my friend overslept, and I had second thoughts about going), and just wasn’t up to being around people outside of family. I did, however, rejoin the living on Halloween. Two friends joined my niece, brother-in-law, and me to walk around the neighborhood (my niece still goes trick-or-treating). We chatted, laughed, some of us got adult treats (i.e., a Jell-O shot, lol), and people even gave us adults candy. As usual, I loved seeing the decor and costumes. After the week I had (that we all had), I needed that night. I think we all did. I went shopping with my best friend the next day. Last week, I decided to rejoin the living in my own way. It was a mixture of working at home and taking my work to the coffee shop. I also attended Trivia Night, voted (early voting didn’t work out), and went shopping at times. I still miss my little guy with my whole heart, but I do need to try to be a functional human again. My Friday consisted of working and then going to the Dollar Tree and Five Below with my family. Then, we ordered food, and I eventually watched Boston Blue before hitting the hay. I spent a good chunk of Saturday cleaning and reorganizing. I’m not 100% done, but I’m mostly done with that area. My best friend took me to pick up Dash’s cremation on Sunday. The urn is a little bigger than I thought it’d be because I chose the one with a picture slot, but we’ll find a place for it. It’s not the way I’d prefer him to come home, but in a sense, at least he’s back home where he belongs. After we left the animal hospital, we went to Walmart, and then she dropped me off. I had a massive headache ALL DAY, so I wasn’t really up to going anywhere else. I didn’t do much at home. I lounged, took a nap, watched a movie, the usual. My headache was nearly gone when I went to bed. Thank God. It was horrible all day. Today, I’m working from home for personal reasons. I need to get to the store tonight as well. I’m hoping to head to the coffee shop tomorrow, as I focus better there. I’ll worry about Wednesday through Friday when I get to those days. Alrighty, I’m going to wrap this up and get back to proofreading this order. You all have a good day/evening, stay safe, and take care. :)

Aww I can only imagine how you a feeling. Losing a pet is so hard. They just don’t live long enough and it is gut wrenching to lose them. I’m glad you went out trick or treating it sounds like a nice time was had.

The picture slot on the urn is a really sweet idea, hes home where he belongs... fwiw that part sounds legit comforting, so be gentle with yourself this week.
