how i'm feeling

So today was a better day, for me at least. I'm worried about my dog, and my sister, and my husband.

my dog has been acting funny lately, sick, lethargic, moody, etc.

my sister got head butted my my step father (shes only 7 years old) i called social services.

my husband found out his arm has a fracture in it from his bike fall last friday.

for me i have been more positve, my head doesnt hurt too bad. but wigs are at least 100 bucks and i am small so i only fit in kids wigs but those are too tight so why bother? and i got an application for SSI and filled out forms to get copies of my health records at one doctor. yay! progress.

but i'm having a hard time getting in the mood. with my husband you know? poor guy. first my period lasted 2 weeks then i was in pain and now i just dont want it. i dont know why. maybe i'm still in pain. someone once told me that with this kind of pain you forget you have it and you get used to it but its still there. i get that one.
