Hi Sandra, This really hit a chord with me this morning. Over lockdown my long time business was swept away and I'm in the position of being nearly 60 and looking for a job. I've worked for myself for a long time and have some other projects on the go, but none are at the place where they bring me an income. That sense of wanting someone to save me from this (at 57!) has been incredibly strong - old parents, friends, a random lottery ticket! Doing the hard things means getting an emergency job and allowing that. I might not want it, but I need to wom(man) up and get the job done. I've been palpating and drooling (!!) for a long time, I dont want to go into 'the back' either, I want to stay hiding away in my lovely little office with views of the sky, but but but... its time to do the hard things with integrity and have faith they will work out. Thank you for posting this :-)
I have a very large cat named Groucho that weighs 24 pounds and he is a hassle to bring into the vet because of his size. He is due to go in for a check up to keep medications available. My back is giving me trouble so I have been putting off dragging him in. It is so hard to get a cat loaded into a carrier and so easy to get them to go back in it once you are at the vet.
I know exactly what you mean about the vet visits----we had so many with Hector because several chronic conditions that needed regular and sometimes emergency attention. If I had been alone, I would have had to take him some way. He was so big and so strong that I am not sure how it would have happened but it would have. Yes, I have had to do many hard things but so far I have been able to handle them all! <3
