you confuse me even more... i know that husbunny is involved.

And when he got home it was what this old thing, oh the smell I was just playing with the dog? No biggie, isnt this my natural state of wonderfulness? If he was in a bad mood after his long day with no sleep I couldnt tell.

Mama,
Jaguar is going to come home as soon as we can arrange a time. The vet said he would bring her over one morning but he does surgeries in his clinic almost every morning and he cant reschedule these. Hes going to bring over the large enclosure and tonight we are going to make a place up high where it can sit near the back of the yard close the the trees where we found her. The rehabber said to leave her in it for a day and then open the door but keep access open in case she has no place to go. I think she will not be so confused and will know where to go. The vet said maybe leave her an hour or if she is afraid and hiding then wait longer. I think she will run up a tree and not look back.
Sorry for those who are new jaguar is a squirrel. We found her one day in our yard dragging her hind legs and our vets been helping her, and now she can walk again.

I'm so happy for jaguar! I wish I had gotten good results for the little fox. I will think about him for a long time!
Pie does work just as good. I am out of pie though. I had say goodbye to pie. Pie was starting to think it could stay in places I don't want it. My clothes were getting snug. So I kicked it to the curb with the Vicodin and went to fruit. Fruit is nicer to me.

Morning all... I caved last night and had a glass of wine and a beer to help me sleep. Afterwards I managed a good 6-7 hours but nonetheless the death morning rears it's ugly head again. A brisk shower helped me feel a little more awake.
Although I only had a small amount I still feel bad that I resorted to having a drink, I want to get through this as cleanly as possible, but I have to admit it was good to not be agonizing over trying to sleep all night. Did I make a bad decision?

i don't know lost. i have literally clue about detoxing. I think since alcohol wasn't your DOC and it was "only" a beer and a glass of wine i think you're
ok. in my opinion i rather have you drink a beer thank smoke a joint. but that's only my personal opinion. just be careful and don't drink every night so you slip into a different addiction.
hang in there... sleep will come back ! you're
doing great

OK, starting off by apologizing if I missed someone/something. Like I said I made some notes on a scrap of paper as I read lol
Mama - Vegas, that is great! I so want to go someday, but I am nervous. I like slot machines...a little too much. Fortunately for me the closest casino is in Connecticut and it's about a 2 1/2 hour ride. I haven't been there in a long time, but once I get in the environment, reality ceases to exist. Would love to go to Vegas, but am afraid I would be broke before I made it out of the airport : )
The overly sensitive thing - yup, that's me too. Especially with animals. It's so hard to let go of those feelings. But I love what Clean said, about thinking maybe someone else helped the little guy I really applaud your efforts!
Clean - I hope your daughter is feeling better. Broke my heart reading that. Not that you ever want to see anyone hurting, but for some reason with children it just makes it so much worse. And if it's your own child, I can't even imagine. For all the medical stuff I have been through I always felt worse for my mom than myself. It hurt her more than it did me, if you know what I mean. All she wanted to do was take my pain and put it on herself. Big hugs to all moms....toughest job in the world!
Venus - I'm so sorry you're struggling. I surely can relate to having the kind of days you were talking about. And you know what I figured out recently? It's OK to have a pity party for ourselves every now and again! I would get down on myself for being down - which of course just made it worse. So it's ok to swear, cry, be bitchy - whatever you need. It will pass! I hope you're feeling a bit better now
Lost - Thanks for checking in on me
I can so relate with feeling like you're going backwards with wds. I have gone through them more times that I like to remember (usually do to running out of pills) so I kind of knew what to expect going in to this attempt - and I could not have been more wrong. I don't know if it was my mindset was different, because I had read a lot of advice and did things different than usual or what - but my whole detox/wds have been ass backwards, I swear! I felt way too good in the beginning compared to the past. I started to wonder if maybe (I did taper successfully this time around, which I when I tried in the past I failed at more often then succeeded) I someone had escaped the torture....but no, it hit at like day 5 or 6. I had planned this around vacation time at work and it was all screwed up. I still feel like it's one step forward two steps back all the time. I think we are just still in the early stages. Here's hoping this crap stops for us both soon!
Dee - I'm sorry to hear you are in pain
I know just what that is like. But I have great respect for your attitude that you will get through (as you always do). Glad to hear things are looking good on the housing front though. Yeah! You deserve some really good karma to come your way!
Else - oh your poor husband! I remember when I was younger I fell out of bed once and landed on the back of a pair of clogs (that should tell you just how long ago haha) square on my back. It was awful! I'm picturing the poor dog barking not knowing what is going on! Hope he is doing ok, and hoping you are too.
Needing - Love your story about your husband's birthday gift! How fun, putting together little gifts as "clues". I love doing stuff like that - but what an imagination you have! I never would have thought of that kind of riddle type thing. Love it! And love your story about Jaguar! Another animal rehabber/rescuer. I get so much crap from everyone I know about squirrels, because I think they are so cute and never realized how much people don't like them! I get they can chew on wires on homes and make a mess of things, but I don't care I think they are great. At one of the apartments I used to live at, I always saw this little squirrel with basically no tail (a little bit, but it was basically gone). He always got pushed around by the other squirrels when they were getting food....so I used to get shelled peanuts and feed him secretly. Named him Peanut as a matter of fact. As time went on, I gathered quite the crowd of squirrels when I would go out, but made sure Peanut always got his fill. I am sure my neighbors were not happy about me feeding them but who cares. They got to the point where they would sit and open them in the driveway rather than running away first, and just watching those little hands and mouth working - was so cute! And by the time winter came along, little Peanut was nice and big, like he had been on steroids and none of the other squirrels pushed him around anymore!
Butter - thank you for checking in on me too Though I am a little hurt that I didn't make it in to your ice skating dream. Better off really, I just wind up with a bruised behind when I try to skate lol.
You know, I never even thought about English not being your first language! I wouldn't have guessed - your English is better than some friends of mine! And the fact that you know all those other languages as well, I am beyond impressed! Beyond!
