And now the countdown is on… less than two weeks until the start of school. Yet, as I prepare myself to return to school, I must also prepare myself for everything else that life is just throwing at me right now.
Yesterday, my dog ate rat poison and I was very fortunate in getting her to the vet on time and it seems as though she’ll make a full recovery, however it’s far from over. She must be closely monitored for the next six weeks for any signs of the poison having an effect on her.
Then today I find out that my grandfather is in the hospital because he is in a lot of pain, but yet no one can seem to figure out why. I’m hoping for the best, and praying that he gets better, but I don’t know what to expect since my family still hasn’t gotten any real answers. All I know is that we don’t need another repeat of what happened with my other grandfather, who passed away almost three years ago. I’m worried for my mother and grandmother, for it is obvious that this is also on their minds too, and not just my own. But I hope that my grandfather gets better. He’s a fighter.
I’ve decided to temporarily suspend my quest to find love. I have no time for it anymore. With everything going on in life right now, on top of the fact that I’m soon starting a new job and my family will be moving at the end of September, I just don’t see it happening any time soon. I know my best friend wants me to keep trying, she is always encouraging me to message people on Plenty of Fish, but it’s just not high on my list of priorities right now. Don’t get me wrong, I would be so happy if I could find someone to love, but it’s just not the most important thing in my life right now. But hey, maybe once I stop looking for it, I’ll find it. Who knows?
All I know for sure is that the next few weeks, months even, are going to be rough. I like to enjoy life, and I don’t like wishing it away (Unless of course I’m at work!), but I just wish we could fast forward to January… maybe then things will be all right…
