Bad Week
This week has totally sucked. Last weekend the kids got vaccinated and wormed and Rory threw up all day Sunday. Then she came down with vaccine induced canine cough, ran a fever of 40.1C on Wednesday and finished off the week refusing to eat her normal dog food. She is feeling much better now and we have brought a new brand of dog food this morning which she seems to enjoy *crossed fingers*.

However, with my lovely anxieties, I have been a total mess. I get extreme anxious when my fur kids get sick and this week has been a shocker. I pretty much stopped eating for a couple of days, haven't been able to sleep and my entire gastrointestinal system has gone to shit. I am a walking disaster area. I have got to get these anxieties under control. I can not fall apart every time one of my dogs vomits, let alone actually gets sick. Logically, I know my behaviour is ridiculous and I tell myself that, but I just can't stop my body from descending into a full blown panic attack.
Somehow this week, I have not only managed to go to work, but gotten a few kudos about how well I am doing. I have no idea how I pulled that off.

Today I am mowing the lawn, doing the edges and tidying the whole backyard up. I seemed to have chosen the hottest day this week to do this. I am blasting my mind with music and hoping to work myself into exhaustion so that I can have a decent sleep tonight and allow my body to calm down and reset.
