Pyret. He is a 6 year old chorkie who I love beyond everything. He acts as an unofficial emotional supportdog for me, and honestly, I would be a mess without him.

Due to both mental and physical difficulties, I don't have have a job.  This means I don't have any money to spare at any given time either. It took me almost 4 years to save up to take him to the vet and get stubborn puppy teeth removed and the rest cleaned. After that visit, he developed a limp. He is stilllimping after all this time (the vet I took him to wont admit he did anything to cause this), and I want to get him X-rayed to see whats up, and some more dental work. But I can't afford it on my own.

So this is where I humbly ask, if you might spare some change to help me get this sweet little man who means everything to me, to the Vet for a check-up.

Wow, this year has certainly flown by fast! I´m still waiting for summer to appear, and now we are only a few months away from christmas (geez! What the heck am I going to get for the family?! Panic!) and a whole new year... again!

I´m still on 50% sickleave, and neither of my doctors think this will change in the near future. I´m relieved that they have come to this conclusion, as we now can go forward from there and get me the support I need to be able to deal with my "problems". The only bad thing, is this constant revisiting to the doctors is costing me a fortune, money I don´t really have. On top of everything, I cracked a tooth, and when I went to see the dentist the other day ( after a ten year absence), they told me I have a hole too in another tooth, so now I´ll have to have 2 teeth fixed, which will cost a bunch, like $400. With a discount. *sigh* When it rains, it pours... Anyone wanna donate? *grin*

In other news, at the start of september I got contacted:

WOW! Well, I got in touch, of course, and now I´m stalking the site to see if my pictures show up! How cool if they do!

Since November, I´ve been dealing with a major setback. I got a real bad case of anxiety, and have since then been on sickleave, gradually going up from 100% to present 50%. Although the medication has helped against the anxiety, I know feel depression creeping up on me.

I feel tired and soppy all the time, and even though I can put up a happy face, it´s just a mask. All I want to do at the moment is stay at home and recover, which is bad, I know, I need to be out and about, but being a non-social person, who has no need whatsoever to interact with fellow human beings, being out and about feels more like a punishment to me, making me feel worse. I want to just say 'fuck everything!' and ignore work and responsabilities, do things that make me feel good all day and not have a care in the world until the world seems brighter again. I´m just so effing tired of everything!

I know how I sound,  being really selfcentered, feeling sorry for myself, acting like a spoiled brat and all, but I just needed to get this off my chest, so that I maybe can get through the next day, and the day after that, and the day after that... *sigh* I guess it´s all those days ahead, having to go to a workplace that I no longer feel optimistic going too, having not enough money, all these obligations... it weighs on my mind, and I´m not that strong a person.

Anyway, that´s enough depressing talk from me for now.

Rest in Peace my darling one...

Came back home today, 2 hours after I´ve made a stop to change old tv to new and then back to work, to find my dog - Mulle - in quite the state. When I left him 2 hours earlier, he was just fine. When I came home, he had puked on the bed, on his stair to the bed, and peed on the floor. After having washed him off (his neck was covered in puke since he had a vet-collar on) I put him down on the floor and I noticed he was very wobbly. He walked like he was high on drugs and blind! Insert terror now. Something had happened to him during the 2 hours since I saw him last. I called dad right away and told him - while sobbing-  we needed to go to the vet now!
They are keeping him overnight to observe him. It could be as simple as an ear-infection... or something bad as a stroke. Needless to say, I´m worried sick about him right now, and can´t stop crying...
