Sarsaparilla has stuck close to me for days. He follows me from bed to couch and back again, snuggled up really close. It’s lovely. Zoe however is anxious, and is obsessively licking and chewing her feet, resulting in several sores. It’s very distressing. I have a cream from the vet that numbs and prevents swelling and infection, apart from that I’m bathing them in salt water twice a day. I hope she stops soon 😦

I’ve been in bed all day, I still have a sinus infection and I’m sore and a bit miserable. I had an appointment with my psychiatrist this morning. We talked about trying to get me into an intermediate care center if I am really struggling at home this week. The thought fills me with relief and fear in equal measure. I’m going to continue to try and create safety at home for the moment. I’ve cancelled everything this week and touched base with some friends and booked in some social time which I’m really looking forward to. Rose came over on the weekend and kept me company. We had a really wonderful time, visited some friends, spent all Sunday in our pj’s watching movies. I felt much better, had some giggles, enjoyed the trans show and the Dr who finale. Even so I spent at least three hours crying on her shoulder, and that was one of my good days this week. So, taking it slowly. Lots of my friends are sick, injured, or struggling with bad news at the moment which is really sad. As soon as the fibro and sinuses let up I’m hoping to do some gardening, and buy a new fountain pen as my lovely Parker had been missing for the months now and I badly need another for ink paintings and wrist poems.

It could be worse. I’m safe, I’m loved.
