I completely forgot it was 1st June yesterday. Obviously we had a lot going on.
I was reminded when I saw this.
And I thought to myself… what a lovely reminder of my friend June, that passed away at the end of April.
Then I clicked it was about the month and not the person…. It was about the person for me. 💜
As is this.
Not every day is easy but you have to see the good in every day.
I feel like I’m suffering from Sunday syndrome today… that’s what I’ve dubbed it.
Sunday’s should be a day of rest but I’m not very good at that.
I took Calaidh for a walk.
A collie-flower 🌸
Spotted this coo keeking over a fence!
The fields are full of long grass and buttercups. 🌼
We met Rachel two doors down and Nacho!
So…. My head has also been catapulted into a…..
“RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!”
WE HAVE RULES THAT WE NEED TO LIVE BY”
mindset…. Which is never good for me as breaking any of the rules completely messes with my head.
I feel angry and frustrated and am soaking up all of Khaleesi’s sadness.
If we miss a Khaleesi tablet by a few minutes, I’m raging and doing some huffy kid style tantrum in my head. The RULE says….
What if the grass is wet when we take her out and we don’t have the boot on her bandage? There’s a RULE about that.
I use the capital letters deliberately as that’s how I hear it.
We have so many doors in our house that the RULE about keeping her still is actually blowing my mind. If she’s in the living room the dogs can push that door open, so that means the dining room door AND the inner hall door need to be shut when she’s in there. (We did also figure last night that the living room is too big a room for her to be sequestered in… she has too many options to lie down, the couch the single seater and two dog beds, every time we went in she was in a different place!)
If she’s in the spare bedroom, it might get too hot as you can’t open a window. 🤯
I want the house to magically tidy itself into spotless and we are just SURROUNDED BY STUFF!!
It’s actually hurting my head so I came to write this.
I’m sitting in the spare room with Khaleesi and Calaidh and if I can tune out her discomfort for a minute, it’s actually quite a calming space.
I lay there for a few hours while Craig was out at work. I enjoyed the time with her and I’m fairly certain she needed the company. I feel like she relaxed while I was there. I know I did.
All of this is in MY head. As usual by the end of the day I can see it all. (It’s 4.30pm now).
I’m not sure where the rest of the day went. I moved things from room to room tidying as I went.
Craig is moving his office space from the dining room upstairs to the aptly named, dogs’ room!
He will be able to work without me wittering away at him. 😂
We had some special family time in the garden with the dogs at 2pm.
Khaleesi was due her next meds so we brought her out for a wee and we got a poo this time too. Good girl.
She’s doing ok.
The bad leg tremors a lot as if it is cold… I’m sure it’s not that. It’s also itchy so that’s bothering her a bit. She has no power in it at all so watching her move around is tough. You can see that she just melts when she’s given lots of attention thought.
She’s going in for the kiss!
I took so many photos it was tough to pick the best of them!
I did like this one!
It’s been overcast and much cooler today. The washing in the line is nearly dry though. Our forecast isn’t great for the week ahead. We were so lucky to have that heat yesterday.
I think she is doing just fine as we adapt to life with her injuries.
We are doing just fine too.
Stay safe everyone ♥️♥️♥️
