The new year came and went uneventfully. Celebrated in my private Idaho with my furry baby by my side. No stress, no social anxiety, no forcing myself to do small talk. Bliss. But the year start was shitty and was full of health problems. I am still waiting for tests, etc. Does not help that my primary doctor is incompetent and treated me like shit as a patient. I am seriously contemplating submitting a formal complaint. Needless to say, I will never go back to her.
Another major thing that happened is I quit drinking. I have been thinking about it for some time now, and I thought it would be hard. However, it was so easy. I don’t have any withdrawals except little anxiety. And I am absolutely not craving it. I feel so good! The energy levels rose, and my well-being as well. Now I do self-care, and it is paying off. Will start running again soon. I don’t lay on the couch and watch a lot of TV. It bores me. So I am reading like crazy. I quit pot as well. Just really cannot take being high anymore, even if I was not taking a great amount for sleep.
The weather is getting warmer, and we spend a lot of time outside. But Star still has infections issue. The yeast infection came back… I don’t know what to do anymore. I am running out of money, and my spirits are very low in that regard. But it is what it is. I have a good team of vets, but the cheapest appointment is $300… It is hard not to be disheartened. I just have to remember that I promised myself to rescue an unadoptable doggo, and here we are. I love her to death, and she is very different from my previous boy-dogs. My boys were mostly aloof with less interaction. Star is a caddle-bug and wants to be close to me. She is super smart and very trainable. Not that my boys were not smart, but they were stubborn as hell. Star can be stubborn only on walks when she wants to go to specific places. But a gentle correction changes her course. I think my next doggo will be a girl as well.
Have to replace my P-Tac unit again. I only just replaced it last Summer but it is not working right, and I am not going to the shop that replaced it. They took advantage of me and charged twice the unit cost and $800 for a half-hour installation. Nasty people, and the owner is just a greedy fuck. I’d rather eat the money than go to them again.
Other than that, life is plugging along and I with it. Let’s see what tomorroqw brings.
