I must be a selfish bitter cow. I've been depressed the last 2 weeks coz my rheumy told me it was crunch time and I had to decide whether to resign from my nursing job or push on and we both know I wasn't handling both the stress & shift work combined, my sickness benefit runs out at the end of November.
Now Russ's dog has got the Big C, riddled with it and must be put down. He's sad and considering to buy a memorial for him at great expense. I am jealous because when I asked Russ for financial help when I was too sick to work he wouldn't help and I struggled on, but now he's happy to part with several hundred dollars for the family dog that now lives with his 22yo daughter.
Clearly I come behind both the dog and his daughter (she only has to ask and she gets and she has asked for the cremation and memorial). I would have thought meeting our mortgage payments would have been as important??? See, I am a mean person.
