I am so exhausted. Eshiva has an awful rash, and while I was tossing and turning between 11 and midnight, she was crawling all over me. I finally changed her at midnight (I had been hoping she would go back to sleep as she wasn’t wet or dirty until just before then) and she screamed bloody murder while I wiped her off. We tossed and turned for another hour, and finally fell asleep, and we were both up and down all night long.
My dog is miserable. I’ve started her on her meds again, but she is scratching so much she is scabby and whiney. Poor puppy 
We can’t take her to the vet right now either. I don’t even know if I can board her when we go away at the end of the month. She’s still playful, but so pitiful when she gets to scratching.
So yah, there we are. I’m working my ass off, not only on the site here, but for my “big” client, as well as for some other clients I have. I am happy to do the work, but I am sad that the money is spent before it even clears into my account. Times are tough on everyone. The R word is being thrown around… I am worried because it seems so so so much worse than the last time I remember recession being thrown around like this. Depression is more like it, but our country is so needy… not needy as in we need food and whatnot, but needy as in, we need this, we need that. Not I want, but I need. We’re doing it to ourselves. I mean, we live off of people and their “I need” (as in, I need a new tattoo) but when everyone else is getting laid off or their income is decreasing or their housing is increasing or whatever, it means our income decreases because it’s a service industry. Hell, I might be canceling my eyebrow appt for next week because we just don’t have the money for it this time. Which sucks for my gal, because she is in the same boat – all commission plus tips. I hate to do that to someone else, because I know how much it sucks for us.
So yah, there it is.
