A perfectly awful week

By Liz on March 14, 2021

There is no way to sugar coat it.

It was an awful week.

The “good” news is that Emmett is ok. He looked for Auggie the first 2 mornings, but has not seemed morose or otherwise disturbed.

For Emmett’s sake, I have focused on him and a varied routine to include some new games and new training/teaching. But that helps me as well.

And I also focused on getting my work done. My “boss” told me to take time if needed, but I know he is under some pressure and I wanted to deliver … plus, it helps me to stay in the work routine.

This weekend, things kind of fell apart for me.

That says it all.

And

Yes, well … I’m dealing with some emotional knots, but working on being more like my dear dog!

And enjoying some spring-like sunshine …

Right, then.

***Edit 3/15 7:30 a.m. The source of the quotes: Jean Grainger’s “Last Port of Call: The Queenstown Series”, is a wonderful and uplifting book. Although, it is the start of a series, the book stands on it’s own without a cliffhanger ending, but allowing for the series to continue. The characters are interesting and intelligent. The above quotes are just a few of the gems that were very comforting to me this week. A little about the plot: Queenstown, Ireland, was the final port of call for Titanic in 1912 and the story starts there, but the port was a port of call for many Irish, immigrating to America to escape the unrest and devastating economic conditions of that time.
