I threw a huge birthday party for my daughter today (the biggest one I've ever thrown) and I am EXHAUSTED. In the last week I have been getting increasingly less sleep and my body was tremoring so hard today that I couldn't eat (because it was immediately coming back up).
I'm having issues with my neighbors across the street; I am pretty sure they deliberately poisoned my dog (he swallowed a rubber bracelet they threw in our yard) and I find out Monday whether he needs surgery. It was one of the one-inch high fashion ones; he expelled it but his intestines and bowels are severely inflamed and he is on antibiotics because the vet doesn't know where it was before it was in him; likewise he's not really eaten in the last day or so, so I may have to take him to the emergency vet clinic tomorrow. This is the same dog our neighbors have been pounding down our door for and harassing me over. If I can't get ahold of the mother (who is avoiding me) by tomorrow evening I am going to be calling the police. I can't have people stalking my house and throwing trash in my yard. My driveway is full of shattered glass (jerks). This is after I went through a local 15 day foster process and no one came looking for the dog I took in; I spoke to the mother personally who said it wasn't their dog, so why are her 9 year old and 17 year old harassing me and throwing s**t in my yard?!
We just lost our big dog to natural causes (he was a special needs dog); I am not going to lose this one because her kids are convinced I stole their dog, and if they can't have them no one can.
Meanwhile my insurance is working on trying to find me a program and place to go for my brain surgery. My body is bruising from the inside out again. It's awful.
I just wanted to take a quick update to say that while I am here, it's not by much. My husband is encouraging me to take the next seven days to deliberately rest and recover from my last week of extensive (Pinterest-level) party planning and throwing. I know my physical activity levels aren't helping my neurological condition and while stress doesn't cause it, it exacerbates it.
I say that to say: I may be off and on DS spotty this next week. If I seem a little off my game I apologize.
You are always with me though. I pray for specific people individually each day based on what's going on in your lives, and I pray for our group as a whole each night (and that includes the people who read the board but haven't written anything yet).
Namaste, loves.

Please try and find some time in there for you. It is very important you look after you too. Self-care, self-care and more self-care.
I am so sorry this is happening to you. Lots of hugs and support!
I hope you get the rest you need from the party organizing while you're waiting for brain surgery. That's an ordeal.
Much support to you!
Be careful letting your dog out. Perhaps just walk him and go out with him for his pee breaks.
I would keep a record of everything and call the police for sure. I am so very sorry as you just lost your old dog. Hugs to you
