15 dog hoarding case -- all little, all kept outside. Can I help "select" the ones our rescue is taking? It's a couple of hours away, but worth the drive to help these little ones. A Course in Miracles can wait until next week.
It's odd that I'm asked to help with this, given where it's located (south, near a bunch of fosters) and I usually don't "pull" dogs. I'm taking this as a push from the Universe to get out of my mood and DO SOMETHING (I probably wasn't the first to be asked). It's going to be a mixed bag though -- we can't take them all and that's sad. The shelters are totally full and owner surrender dogs are immediately euthanized. Hopefully, a few other rescues are able to help too.
The board member needs help because of safety -- she's going on a person's property and that's a little unpredictable. The owner is voluntarily surrendering them, but we don't know why -- this might not be an easy situation. She also wants a second opinion on which dogs and help with transporting.
Anyway ...
As far as yesterday, I did very little. Mostly finished watching Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime. Second season is out. It was good and followed the usual action stuff ... how did he survive that ... not a scratch from the fight ... everyone is a crazy good shot ... etc. Still, it was entertaining and a good overall storyline.
I'm feeling a bit better this morning. Up early thanks to lots of sleep and an extra hour. Back to NORMAL today, come hell or high water. I've wallowed in pity long enough.
I found a new fiction book to read -- Major Pettigrew's Last Stand (Helen Simonson). I'm late to the game with this book. It came from a Facebook recommendation. Usually, I'm a snot about the chains that start, "I was nominated by a friend to ... blah, blah, blah." Load of garbage. I don't want to see 8 days of why you are a good mom or your kids in sports or whatever. This one wasn't bad though -- favorite books you've read. I have a reading friend who is participating and I like her list.
I ordered Brooke Castillo's new book -- How to Have a Better Life. It was $15 on her website and she's one of my favorites. It looks like a fancy, thick magazine. I'll start it this week. I bet the last few days of what I've been doing are NOT how to have a better life LOL.
I'm super looking forward to Monday this week. It feels like a fresh start -- moving on, over my funk. I'm still sort of in a green jelly mood over everyone having the BEST weekend and not me. People return to normal tomorrow and I can get over it without "doing the thought work" -- it's just over. Lazy solution, but I'll take it. I think my envy (mood) is related to PMS and way too much sugar and it's made me grumpy and hating everyone who is having fun hah. Plus, I kind of wanted my friends to help me transition out of big vacation mode and no one is around. Yep, not my best friend moment. But there it is -- what I'm thinking and I don't care to do anything about it. Time will cure this one -- peeps are back home, PMS will soon be over, sugar detox will happen.
This week gets me back into productive mode too. Dentist appointment, PB replacement sofa delivery, woman's conference on Friday (more on that this week). And I have a list of November things that have been hanging over my head -- start CE credits for RN renewal, convert OLD banking over to a new system and learn Apple Music. UGH -- some big things to get started on. It'll feel good to have those off my plate. Stressed just typing it out.
Oh, and I did a THING. Got picture order happy yesterday. Ordered the "wall" for over the sofa and ordered an artist painting for the hallway (this has a story). All are totally out of my comfort zone -- kind of nervous. Everything is returnable except the painting. I'm tired of blank walls and tired of looking for something. This was either brilliant or big time stupid. Stay tuned for the hairy details and pictures ...
I've rambled a lot again today. Rescue dog update tomorrow -- poor babies. Later gators.
