Daughter had a short emotional episode this afternoon. Conflicting feelings which she just could not resolve. Happily, in the long term, she has a rational side which guides her emotionally and she can see when her own feelings have no logical resolution. Ultimately, she goes with a more logical conclusion.
As the ex says, large part of it is probably related to her feelings about the mother dog being gone. She does always try to see some brighter side and said she was happy she had escaped. She would rather the dog die living as a wild animal than if she was not adopted and got put down. (I did not explain she would not be offered for adoption, since she had been said to kill another dog. Moot point, since she did escape and has not been caught.)
On the other hand, something we both noticed was that the two younger dogs are calmer and better behaved since the mother is gone. These two have not had a single fight all weekend, which used to happen fairly frequently. The indication seems to be that the mother was, indeed, the aggressor. Which is a surprise to me because the mother always appeared overly energetic but in no way aggressive. Unfortunately, I could never see the fights begin and could not tell much once it started.
Daughter is excited about the science books I got her. Plus doing art projects of her own. Started a poster. Built a small house from scratch with scrap wood and did a good job with it! Designed a small bridge to go with the house, which I built for her according to her instructions. Not a bad design, quite stylish.
So much for the no gastric problems. Had some level of distress all weekend. Fading out now. Too many possible culprits to narrow it down well. Maybe that I ate cereal with real milk Fri night. Maybe the new medication. Maybe a bug. I have chapped lips, which tend to indicate an infectious process in my case. Other than some pain and gastric symptoms, still been more normal than for a while.
I am happier with my insurance than I expected. Had not seen how much Chantix cost until this evening. $258.34! Which probably makes this the most expensive substance I have ever placed in my body. Not feeling any difference in smoking urge yet. However, still on the lowest dose level. It has to taper upward over the first week. I hope this one works. All my past efforts to quit have failed.
