I've noticed that in the last few months, that I've been able to isolate events and behaviors of other people that seem to trigger me to lose my temper or composure. It's kind of when I know I am reaching a point where I just can't stay around someone anymore without getting harsh. I think that many people in the roles that we have pretty much have a breaking point, and in some cases, I have gone past the breaking points until I can't go any further. It's like being on a tightrope, and the rope is so tethered and frayed, you are wondering how you can possibly continue to walk on it. Life seems to be that way for some of us like that sometimes.

A couple of weeks ago, I tried to put aside the trash with my stepdaughter. It's really about impossible. I try to cover up the time with other things to do and right now, I am busier because of other things going on in my household. And thanks to all of you well-wishers about our puppy, Bullet. He is such a doll, he just pulls on your heartstrings. Of course, once again, I was the only one up with him last night from 3 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. this morning. I fell asleep hanging over the dog bed. But at least, the pup had the comfort of knowing someone was there to hold him while he wasn't feeling so good. I don't know what day this week the specialist will see him and schedule him for the surgery for his tibia but I am hoping it will be soon. I really miss his bouncing energy. Right now, he's so sad. I spend as much time with him as I can so he isn't alone. The vet gave us a prescription for the swelling and inflammation so we're hoping that it will try and reduce some of it prior to the surgery.
I hope that all of you had a good and productive weekend. The weather here in GA was cooler and we are waiting for rain late this afternoon. I did some weeding outside but otherwise I was occupied with our dogs. And I was able to get my husband to spend an hour watching the puppy. So, hopefully, the puppy is okay when I go back downstairs. For those of you with the stepchildren at home this week, my wish is for a peaceful week.
I will check in on you later this week and let you all know how Bullet is doing. Thank you all so much for your friendship and support.
Regards,
Sweetie
