RE: If "Bad Things Happen in Threes," I Really Hope I am DONE!
Before I say anything else @denmarkguy, I just want to say that I am so, so sorry for both the losses you suffered this week. The loss of a fur child is never, ever easy - but to hear your daughters news... I cannot even fathom the emotional impact and turmoil that has created :(
So, it has definitely been "one of those weeks." You know, one of those weeks where it seems like you just can't catch a break... and I find myself just a whisker from sinking into a very negative place in which I start thinking that the Universe is out to GET me.
Seems like you and I had a pretty similar "energetic week" - in fact so much so, that I also made mention of the whole "bad things happen in three's" phrase - though the things you have had to endure far outweigh my own.
when you realize that so many aspects of existence are not only very fragile, but also beyond our control.
So very true. I have thought about this a lot lately actually. More than I probably should, because it tends to get me all caught up in my head... but that's me I guess.
not even five miles from where we were stranded — and they had a guy out in 15 minutes!
We have an expression here in SA... "Local is Lekker" :D it seems this is applicable the world over ;)
so I sincerely hope that the three really bad things are over and done with, for a long time... because I'm not sure how much more of this I can deal with, and still keep my sanity!
I feel you - and I hope so too for your sake!
Hope you have a more peace-filled Sunday.
RIP DAISY xxx
Dear sweet @jaynie, thank you for your compassion and kindness! I feel it, I really do.
You and I have definitely both been through the wringer, lately... I did read about Herbie's emergency; those sorts of things are so scary and really makes us remember how much our fur kids mean to us!
There's that old truism that "the Universe never sends us more than we can handle," but sometimes I really could wish "they" didn't have quite so much faith in my ability to weather storms...
We seem to be remarkably similar spirits sometimes... and operate on similar "cosmic schedules," it seems. I get "in my head" too much, as well... but what is too much if it serves us as acoping mechanism under duress?
In Danish it would be "lokalt er laekkert"... I guess that's why I pick up on a lot of Afrikaans idioms.
Love & hugs... be well!

Oh man, this made me giggle!!!! and I needed that laugh, lol - thank you! And yes, I absolutely agree haha!!!
Very similar indeed!!! :D
Thank you! - He is doing much better now. As for going through the wringer... sometimes I think I am solely responsible for doing that to myself, haha!!! I should really try to be kinder to myself.
I hope this new week holds a little more positive promise than the last couple xxx
