A Rough Day Helped by a Twisted Kitty

Greetings Friends,
I've been working on my statements for the VA and trying not to fall apart too much. This PTSD stuff really does suck. Was up till 2:30 am and then slept pretty badly after that. Had a rough day today with my client poking and roaring at me during a movie, lunch and then later driving. He is severely disabled and this is good behavior for him, but it is nerve-shattering to me right now.. Plus my back has been hurting some, and I have to lug his wheelchair around. I was so shook up after 4 hours with him today that I sat in the parking lot and sobbed for a while afterwards. I just have to try and get through the next few weeks. But all this is making me feel even weaker, not stronger. He makes me jumpy, and he likes to scare me, and he is potentially violent, one just has to stay out of range as he is in a wheelchair. But he is good at throwing things. So far, not at me, but with all this trauma stuff coming up.. I am extra hypersensitive to it all. *sighs*

Tonight while I was finishing up my writing, my doggie and kitty were here with me. I couldn't help snap this shot of kitty keeping me company. It makes me smile, and feel better and that's a good thing.

On the flip side of everything, I am very excited about the move. A friend is coming on Sun with his truck and he and Paladin will then move the few pieces of furniture going with me to his place. The house we like most is still on the market and actions are moving forward to propel us along to our new home.

Paladin is off at buddies nite and I'm glad of it. Was a busy week for him and plans moving along quickly. But feet up to get together with friends is a reward he's always enjoyed. I am sorry that he'll be so far from them after this move. I've suggested that they do their computer gaming together on their normal Fri nites, but I think they are still choking down the fact that he's leaving in the first place.

Wishing everyone a good evening and safe paths,
Mystress
