My nerves are bad. Mister has asked me a million times today what’s wrong with me. I am done with showing my hand while he hides his, so I just say nothing. 

I have pretty much given up on trying to have a healthy relationship with him for now, and my priority is me. I am worried about a few things regarding what I need to do for me, but I’m not discussing any of that with him. 

Because he kept pestering me, I finally told him that just like I said a few days or a week ago, I feel insecure and unsafe IRT our relationship. He wanted to know why, I said you are in the same relationship, and since you know you better than I do, I’m pretty sure you can come up with some accurate guesses. I refused to give him any information regarding why I said what I said. He didn’t like that, and I didn’t care.

I know that me being like that is not conducive to a healthy relationship, but I’m done with the openness and honesty being one sided. Even though I’ve done a lot of dumb shit in the name of love….. regarding him and my family, I’m not actually a dummy. I don’t know how to play the actual game of chess, but IRL, I know how not to be playing checkers when I should be playing chess. 

I didn’t get to choose my Mom or my children, and they all have a long rope with driving me crazy, even though I’ve gotten a lot better with my boundaries with all of them. I chose Mister….. I love him so much, but his rope is not as long and I can unchoose him if necessary. It’s not like we’re married, and it would be overly complicated to walk away.

Ds is chopping down a "tree of heaven" that is near our fence line.  He'll save me a few thousand if he doesn't hurt himself or the fence.  But he's making a mess of the backyard.  I told him to clean up the backyard and that I was going to clean up the garage by emptying the cardboard out of the garage (to line the garden area and then mulch on top of it) and he can drag the logs back there.  All good, until the not dead mice babies fell out of the cardboard.  Mice should not be effing breeding by this time of year damnit!  I'm dying.  The garage is not attached and is actually on the far, far end of the property or I'd really be losing it.  But I'm not sure how to pull myself together at this point.

Pink-I feel so bad for you. This is why even though DH is doing very well, I still think it best I work as long as possible. Wish I had always been as frugal as MPL, and had more $$ saved, but I would manage.

(ETA this is just me rambling, not aimed at you personally. DD brought it up yesterday)
I started telling DD “A man is not a plan” when she was a teenager. I think that came from [mention]rukh [/mention] DD’s coworkers are mostly Men, and she said one older guy asked her what’s that thing you always say? He told her his family went to Mexico for a wedding for one of his niece’s and the Marriage was over before the family left Mexico. I thought it was interesting DD attributed both DH and I to telling her that, but yes, my DH does want her to have a solid career and not make choices that just benefit her SO and his career.

I want to push both my kids again to make sure their 401K % is adequate. With SS being so underfunded their savings is even more important.

My problem is that I don’t have much cash on hand. I used my savings to up for all the income I missed starting last year, to still take care of my personal responsibilities. 

I agree that a man is not a plan. That is why I still planned for my retirement as if I would be alone. I am glad I didn’t sell my house, but I really, really do not want to live in it again.

I know things are really awful right now.  But try not to beat yourself up.  You have made a lot of really good decisions over the years.  A good job, reliable paid off car, minimal debt, and your house as much of a problem as it is right now.  None of that probably makes today easier, but even everything that has happened you were making decisions in good faith.  

I hope things start to look up soon. 

[The Walk of the Penguin Mich]

Well, it looks like my sister has her house rented, and the woman she rented to wants a 2 year lease.  When she mentioned this, I asked her what about selling her house so that she has a down payment for someplace else.  TD said he does not want her here 2 years.  Neither do I.  I did mention that at least we’d have a pet sitter for our next trips, but he said he’d rather pay for their care.  

I think I need to have a difficult conversation.  When we asked her to pet sit, we figured that this part of the country would have too many strikes against it.  This was an misjudgment on my part.  TD is willing to wait until she gets the judge’s decree in Jan.  By then, she will need to figure something out.  

[busymom]

I agree with "a man is not a plan".  Remind me to share that phrase with DD, even though she's newly engaged.  

My Mom was older than my Dad, and still managed to outlive him by 12 years.  A girl has to have a plan for herself.

You can turn your house into a different house when the time comes if you want to. I know it’s probably hard to not think about now as you have a mom problem and can't safely and happily go there for a break.

I’m not moving for a break. I’m not going back and forth like that with him.

Thank you for pointing out some positive stuff that reminds me that my situation could be even worse. And that I have made the decisions I have in good faith, because that is absolutely true. I needed that, because I can’t help feeling real stupid right now.

[Pink Cashmere]

So today is our “anniversary” and also the day we said at the end of August that we would get married. Mister keeps asking me about going out tonight. What the fuck for? To celebrate? Celebrate what? I don’t want to go ANYWHERE, except perhaps the moon, to get as far away from my life as possible. If I could somehow just disappear and make myself invisible, I swear I would.

And to be clear, none of that has to do with thoughts of self harm or suicide. Even though shit sucks majorly right now and I don’t know what to do, I still want to live. I don’t want anyone to be concerned about that, regardless of whatever crazy things I might say.

My plan for the evening is to indulge in several adult beverages and take my ass to bed.

like DQ, I think my mom taught me a little too well. I'm still single, and likely to stay that way. well, maybe have a fun friend that lives somewhere else and I have my nice quiet space without being bothered. lol... 

my Nana was 4y older than my grandfather (she actually refused to have her birth year inscribed on their headstone while she was alive, b/c she didn't want anyone to know!) and lived to the ripe old age of 88. my grandfather passed from cancer when my mom was a kid, so mom grew up watching Nana handle herself as a single woman and getting it all done. I'm still trying to figure out how she found herself married with 2 kids by age 26 with how she raised the two of us kids.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts and suggestions. 

Last night was pretty awful and today is not going well either. I am still very angry.

In my 40 years experience of living with the same man, sometimes I have to get mad....really mad and vocal before anything will change.   I was ready to separate from my DH before he drove into an oncoming train.  I was really, really mad about how I was being treated before his wreck, and then, that I was forced into a caregiver position because of his carelessness.  To say nothing of the money it cost to pay the bills from the chaos he caused.

I was so mad that I put myself first.  I made some hard and fast boundaries and I chose me.

DH understands now that this relationship has to work for both of us, or it's not working.  Unfortunately, it has taken some mad, ugly words to get the point across.  I'm not playing anymore.

Well, I definitely have the really mad and vocal part together lol.

I haven’t completely lost it, since I have refrained from cussing and intentionally being offensive or insulting, but I have definitely been chaotic. That speaks to the level of respect I have for him, that I have still managed so far to mostly reign in my evil twin. That is why I don’t like being so angry, because I know how ugly and reckless the other side of me can be.

In other news, yesterday Boy broke out with bumps all over his body. By late last night, most of them were gone. But at some point this morning, they reappeared, and were even worse, all over his body, except the top of his back. His face was also slightly swollen. 

Mister called the vet as soon as they opened, they didn’t require him to actually see the vet, but told him to come pick up some medicine, which turned out to be prednisone. The receptionist said she has 2 “blue pits” that have the same issues, and that they are more susceptible to allergies and skin issues than most other dogs. 

I feel really bad for Boy, because it’s obviously itchy, this morning he kept rolling around on his side and back, and licking on the places he could reach.

I’ve never seen this before. If anybody has had an issue like this with their dog, please share what, if anything, you learned was causing the problem, and what you did to help your dog.

Mister has been giving them both Benadryl to help with their allergies, even though we don’t like how it makes them sluggish. We don’t know if it’s something inside or outside that house that Boy is suddenly having such a bad reaction to. We haven’t brought or used anything new or different in the house recently, so I am guessing it’s something outside, while Mister thinks it’s something inside since Boy was only outside long enough to do his business this morning before the bumps reappeared.

If we can figure out that it really is something inside the house, whatever it is, I will gladly get rid of it.

This is what his whole body, even his testicles, and except for the top of his back, looked like this morning.


But poor Boy, living in a home where something like this is taken seriously enough that paying for an ER visit was on the table until I suggested calling his vet first. And poor Boy for “suffering” living with me, because in a moment of frustration, I said I was starting to not like him, but I am also the same person that will gladly get rid of whatever his body is reacting to and causing him this discomfort, if I can figure out what it is.

Went to ikea. I ended up getting 2 dressers for the price I would have paid for just one at NFM. The girls are coming by later to help me put them together. I'm going to make T2 help me put my patio set together. She doesn't know it yet.

Wow, poor baby, I hope the prednisone helps. I hope the vet is right, too.

It looks like hives. Did the medicine work? Pits have pretty difficult skin.

Whike she's not a dog, T1's skin is a constant battle. She breaks out in hives like that and takes a benadryl and they go away. It makes her pretty sleepy too though.

I hope it helps too. But I don’t think continuing to give him steroids is a good long term solution, unless it is absolutely necessary. He just finished a round of steroids about a week ago, after the vet visit from when he cut his paw on a glass that broke when he knocked it off the table in the breakfast nook. I’d rather figure out what is causing it, if we can, to try to prevent it happening in the first place.

LD had eczema listed in his medical files when he came home. I haven't had to deal with that, but I do drizzle salmon oil over his meals, and that definitely helps. lmk if you want the Chewy link. the one I've posted before has been discontinued.

Andi has a good point; do they have allergy meds for dogs? Maybe he is affected by something seasonal?

That’s what I was thinking, that it’s the doggie equivalent to hives in a human. 

They are starting to go away again. But they did the same last night too, before we called the vet and got the medicine.

Newbie has allergies too, but this has never happened with her. She mostly just gets red around her eyes and other parts of her face. 

I take Benadryl for my allergies, since it seems to work better for me than the other OTC allergy meds. I’ve tried them all. I am also the oddball that doesn’t get sleepy when I take Benadryl. But it definitely affects our dogs, they get sluggish and Newbie starts looking crazy like she doesn’t even know what planet she’s on.

Oh, poor baby!  That makes me squirm just to look at him and imagine his misery.  He's a very lucky pup to have responsive, loving owners.  Since it's just happening now, I would bet on a fall-sprouting plant, or maybe one that's there all year-round in the grass but blooms in the fall.

Yeah, it is definitely not pretty. When Mister brought him in the bedroom this morning and asked me to look at him, I was horrified and felt really bad for him. And even worse when he started rolling around, making it clear that it’s itchy.

I think it’s probably something that’s growing outside too. But even if it’s something in the house, like Mister thinks, I am more than willing to get rid of or stop using whatever it is.

Pink have you changed anything lately, maybe detergents, soaps or cleaners?

[NomoreDramaQ1015]

Bactine anti itch spray the same you buy for yourself works on dogs.

Leonard had itchy heat spots and in a moment of desperation to get him to stop scratching I rummaged in the medicine cabinet.

The vet said it was unorthodox but there is nothing in it that's toxic and if it prevented scratching keep on spraying.

No. Because of my own allergy issues, I stick to the very short list of things I know don’t bother me, and don’t experiment or deviate. Nor have we bought anything new, like furniture, rugs or whatnot. The only thing new is a AeroGarden that I am growing lettuce in. That is in the kitchen, where I try to keep the dogs out of. I doubt that’s the cause of his issues, but that’s literally the only thing different in our home for some months now.

That is why I think it is probably something outside. We haven’t used any pesticides, herbicides, or other chemicals out there either, or bought anything new for the deck or whatever. That is why I am guessing it is probably something growing out there that he is having a reaction to.

Bactine anti itch spray the same you buy for yourself works on dogs.

Leonard had itchy heat spots and in a moment of desperation to get him to stop scratching I rummaged in the medicine cabinet.

The vet said it was unorthodox but there is nothing in it that's toxic and if it prevented scratching keep on spraying.

Ok, I will get some of that. 

Right now, the bumps are gone again, but I’d like to have something on hand to help with the itching if it happens again.
