Rollercoaster

Over the past few months my mood has been up and down …. mostly down.

We celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary last year and had a party two days earlier as the actual day was a Monday. Family members and friends made an effort to come up which we were pleased about and the party went well.

Christmas was quiet as usual and we had our Christmas meal at our usual venue. The week before we had gone out for the annual church Christmas dinner at a restaurent we haven’t been to before.

Since Christmas I have been in A&E for 14 hours due to gallbladder problems again plus being very dehydrated. Having intravenous fluids helped, had another scan and had bloods taken so I was relieved to get home.

Almost three weeks ago so called friends went to New Zealand for 51/2 weeks so we were looking after their dog. It meant one of us staying over each night as their dog isn’t very good with other dogs and we have got cats. Everything was fine until last when I had a video with one of them at 7am who was his usual self. I could hear his husband telling him to tell me stop over feeding their dog. I hadn’t been over feeding the dog so told them that I had heard what had been said and to leave it at that.

When my husband rang five minutes later I told him what had happened he shot round to the house. He video called them and the one who believed I had over fed their dog answered. He went into a foul mouthed vent which included threatening to come round to our home and trash it when they get home.

Now the poor dog is being left for most of the day which is wrong but we can’t do anything about that.
