I try not to complain too much. I hope that I haven't here. I have had the worst day. I'm working as a sub now, my route was parceled off to other routes. The carrier on my prime route is on vacation and I've been working my hinney off all week. I mean I'm on the run from, literally from 6:45 am to 3:30-4:30 pm. Hardly time to eat and can go 4 hours out on the route without a potty break. I know, TMI, but I'm no spring chick..it's rough. I can deal with that, I know that I'm learning the route and the mail has been VERY heavy this week. Today my mother, who is 80, had back surgery. I HAD to work...couldn't get out of it. I don't have that option anymore. So I had that worry hanging over my head all day. I'm very happy to say that she came through her 3 1/2 hr surgery just fine. They had concerns about the anesthesia (sp)  and her heart.

A year ago today Spud went to the Rainbow Bridge. That has been heavy on my heart also. I miss him so much, I think about him and miss him every day. He was my closest Spuddy Buddy for 17...almost 18 yrs. I had some tears...because I still wish I he was here. He was so much to me and I think the feeling was mutual. I hope I made his life comfortable and happy...that was my goal.

Anyway, it's just been a tough day. Sorry for the downer... kind of just needed to get it out of my system.

Vent away sweetie, that's what we're here for, to support each other through the rough times and to celebrate together through the good.


One day at a time. Glad your mom made it through the surgery just fine and lots of vibes to her for a speedy recovery!


Rest in peace precious Spud.
