We Quit Cigarettes

[Kiki]

I'm so sorry. She is beautiful.
I lost my boy less than two weeks ago to a sudden stroke. This is almost too painful to write out but I wanted you to know you're not alone. It gets better. While writing this is the first time I've cried in about a week. I can't even describe how much I miss him, but it's starting to be okay.
When I want to shut down and lay in bed all day, I think "is this what Triumph would want me to be doing?" It's silly but it's true. He was the happiest dog and could pull me out of any funk. I can see the same in Miss Sunshine's eyes.
I don't know your personal struggles, but I know that you were her whole world and she is free of pain now. And I know that Triumph and Miss Sunshine are showing each other their favourite toys right now, and watching over their favourite humans. And they are finally at peace.
Hang in there. ♥

Fatty is showing them where all the dog treats are stashed.

This is ridiculous to me.
This type of stuff is a no-brainer it should be done every single day.

Well considering I’m usually on my phone most of the time... it’s an improvement/a lot to me.

Kidding. Mostly.

I do usually do most of it every day. The stuff that needs to be. But thought I’d list it all

I collect the eggs and check the chickens, etc. every single day lately (I know for a while I didn’t but I do now) but I don’t always let them out and I don’t usually wash the eggs cause they’re not usually bad so that was new. Also both of their food containers do not need refilling often. The water I refill every day because they drink a lot.

And the scrap bin takes a while to get full enough to dump.

The cat I always feed but don’t usually do the box myself so that’s good for me.

And the tanks are not a daily thing. Weekly at most but I have been neglecting them for a couple so that was a big one for me. I fully scrubbed them down. That is not a daily thing and was big for me because I finally stopped putting it off.

And my room is a disaster so also not a daily thing.

I know most of these should be and most of the chicken and cat stuff is but a lot of it I also put off so to me, finally fully cleaning the tanks and cleaning my room is huge because I’ve put both of those off for so long. Call it ridiculous if you want but it’s big for me.

@PirateGirl I am so sorry! She has probably met my old dog Norman by now.

Great job...
Now put your phone up and go clean your room.
Don't reward yourself by playing on the internet until everything that you need to do is done.

Go get a pen and paper and write a list of everything that you did today so far plus what you are fixing to do before the day is over.
When you go to sleep tonight tape that list to your phone.
Do not turn your phone on until everything on the list is done.

Thanks. I’m going to. But my parents just came back with dinner so I’m going to eat quickly first and then go do it.

And also, for the record, I know you are right and it is ridiculous and I should be doing this stuff but I normally don’t and considering I’m going from not doing much to trying to do more, it’s a lot and very slow progress haha

But considering for a while, I didn’t even shower or get dressed every day... it’s way better than where I used to be.

I’m still working on it but I tried to do a lot today. I did also waste some time on the phone, like this morning I didn’t get right up, but I also woke up way earlier than usual, and I also took care of all the animals first before I ate and before the appointment. Honestly normally the appointment might have been the only thing I did

Good idea. Thanks. I’m going to do that. Maybe while I eat haha

I didn’t make any excuses in that????

But either way, I’m going to be doing all this stuff regularly.
