I've had a hard time sleeping. To keep her calm I've put Ethel's, my dog's, bed. on my bed. I don't toss and turn and it calms her to see me. But she likes to crawl over and sleep in my armpit. She did the same thing when she was well and it didn't bother me, but now she's wearing that big Elizabethan collar and her venuset, so while she sleeps easy I have white plastic being shoved into me. It's okay. It just makes it hard to sleep. I went to the daily labor place at 4:30, and got nothing. Before that I'd taken Ethel over to LOL's. She claims Ethel was fine for the 7 hours she had her. She notices she gets very sad and quiet when I leave but perks up about 10 minutes before I come to the door. Me, I'm more impressed at how gentle Fat Yellow Dog and Chow are around her. I did the foot rounds , looking for help wanted signs and answering two ads from the Penny Shopper. Tomorrow at 6:00 I have to go unload a truck. Maybe 2-3 hours of work for $20. Then I have an interview and test thing at another temp agency. I hate the temp agency route. They are rotten employers and don't protect you from their clients capricious whims. But at least it's do something. This guy promised me that if I scored as high for them as I did for the last Agency they'd get me a Microsoft Certificate. He sounded impressed with that, so I let it impress me a little. Ethel has been trying to get out of her bed and walk around some. The vet says it's okay and to let her be, keeping an eye on her only. Tonight she walked around and got out one of her toys. She brought it to me and then went and went back to sleep. Tomorrow she's with her kid friend and his mother. I hope it works well.
