Seriously though, after I came home I talked my head off then when it started getting really late I found myself wandering through the apartment with nothing to do. Strangely enough I rearranged the living room furniture. I started to run the sweeper and do some stuff like that but I figured if I did everything in one day I'd leave myself with idle hands. That can't be good so I didn't sweep the carpet and only washed one of my bed blankets yesterday. People might wonder who on earth cleans the house the same day they lost their best friend. Cleaning for me is a coping skill. It relaxes me but I do need to pace myself. After my small bit of cleaning and one load of laundry I ran my mouth a bit more, did some stretches and went to sleep. I feel like I have a hang over and I didn't even drink anything. There are a few subjects that I may not comment on in blogs right now because the loss of my dog on top of major triggers is way too much. My tendency would be to skip over grieving Captain and get deeper into therapy issues but that isn't a good thing. For now when I visit blogs if I don't leave a comment please know I was already walking a thin line before Captain died. I don't want to go anywhere near the edge so if you don't see me comment as often please know I'm doing a balancing act. I have to get ready for therapy Austin CC -

Grief and loss really hurt and I wish it could be different. However, you seem to be taking good care of yourself. I'm glad you see your therapist today. My thoughts and prayers are definitely with you!! I miss him too!! Take care of yourself and don't push it...you will regret it later. I hope you have fun with your company. Clueless Hey Austin,
