What I didn't know yesterday was that today would be so much better!! Yesterday I was completely overwhelmed and very depressed. Then last night my cat Ruby Tuesday went missing. She is strictly an indoor cat, but got out of the house last night, when I got a delivery. Y e a h, she's been escaping on me all week. Last night at 1:00 am. I was walking outside calling her name, but she was no where to be seen. I came home empty handed. Last night I couldn't sleep without her. Anyway ended up sleeping on the couch, in case she came to the door, I would hear her.
This morning, my good neighbour Thom and I proceeded to go through the neighbourhood to look for her.
We met up in my backyard empty handed. Thom went to sit down on the deck to have a smoke, and I went inside to get bird seed for my feeder. When I opened the door, ruby was with him!! She was under the back steps for the night.
Relieved and happy she is home with me once again!! When things get bad, they sometimes look worse, and then within 12 hours they can change again. So if you are stressed and overwhelmed, just remember, things can turn around, within 12 hours. I'm not smoking, my daughter may be moving home again. I said to her just don't try to tell me what to do and I won't tell you what to do either. I've been isolating all last week, because of a minor sore throat, but it's gone so I will be going out tomorrow to get groceries. When did grocery shopping become exciting?? Covid.
I haven't sunk so low as I did yesterday. All I can say is I'm here, still kicking and fighting to reach my goal of smoke freedom!! My moods swing ordinarily, but any extra stress is bad, I'm learning how to cope tho without the cigs.
