bad, bad day
Today has been just awful. I got some bad news around noon today and it just kept piling on from there. And what just makes it unbearable is that it's been a ripple effect and I can't see the end of it yet. I think I'll wait to delve into some of the details in the hopes that something miraculous will happen to change things, but for now I'll just say that today, among other things, brought me the news that my beloved dog Dylan is very sick in the animal hospital and will remain there for at least 3 more days so the vet can monitor his system after having a piece of a towel removed from his intestine (the vet and I have noooooooo idea why my pick eater of a dog would eat a towel). It absolutely kills me to know that he's in such a grave condition and that that I'm here and not with him. What's worse is that he's my dog which means he's my responsibility yet I'm in no position to pay his vet bills. Partly because of this, I also just found out that my mom isn't coming to visit me in April because she can't. And that was horrible to hear because it makes me so sad and because I know it's so much harder on her. It totally sucked to hear how upset she was and I had no idea what to say to make her feel better which I hate. For our family, 2008 was a very, very rough year so a day like today just magnifies an ongoing bad situation. Normally, I'm a (somewhat) optimistic person, but I'm having a hard time seeing the bright side of things today. Here's hoping that tomorrow's better...

Ah man, sorry to hear bad news!
My dog had the same problem like 3 years ago, only he ate socks and underwear...a towel sounds better. But anyways he had the surgery and he is still alive and kicking today and old and crotchety!! I hope everything goes good with your dog!
Sorry that your mom isn't coming, that sucks! If it makes you feel any better, my family has never been here, and it doesn't look like anyone will be coming in the near future...I am trying to get them to come at the end of the year or january of next year.
I'm so very sorry to hear that. I can only imagine how awful you must be feeling.
But, the good news is that there's only one way from here to go and that's up. Things are bound to turn around for you and your family. Keep the faith.
i´m sorry to hear about all the bad news! :( i definitely hope tomorrow gets better for you, and we´ll do all we can to help cheer you up tomorrow night ;) let us know if you need anything.
I'm so sorry to hear about your dog! I hope he recovers just as well as Shannon's dog did.
And that stinks that your Mom can't come. I can't really put it into words, but I know exactly how you feel. It's really hard on my Mom too that I'm so far away, and of course I miss her a lot too. But for some reason it's always a bit easier for those of us who leave than those who are left behind.
Things will get better! And we'll try our hardest to cheer you up tomorrow.
I am so sorry that today has been awful. All I can do is send warm thoughts and hugs.
Shannon, Kyle, Jessica, Abby and Clare: THANK YOUUUUUUUUUU :) :) :)
