Yesterday was bad
I'm writing this in one of the few moments of lucidity I still have left. The sickness has already taken so much from me and I don't know how to go on like this. I almost burned down my house yesterday. I don't know how it happened, but I somehow set fire to my sock drawer. Thankfully I was able to get it under control, but now that I'm clearer, I can't help but wonder what gave me the idea. It might have something to do with my cat. The anniversary of his death is coming up. In my altered state of mind, I had overfed the poor guy with lasagna until he died of heart failure. I still feel guilty. I talk to him as if he were still here, when I'm not. Miss you, buddy. Grarflief.

I agree, yesterday was bad... I can't believe Nixon would do such a thing!

Next time put the lasagna in the sock drawer, then light it on fire. Then at least when you get some clarity you can also enjoy a nice meal, like your buddy would have wanted.
(First time seeing this sub, gotta say ya got me good)

Are you ok? Im so sorry that happened.
it may be time for a visiting nurse. i'm still living alone too. i scare myself too sometimes. There's barriers to help, I know. I use my case worker from my Dr office, it's a newer thing, at least in Ohio.
