OMG - How did I miss this???? I'm so very sorry.
Similar (but nowhere near so horribly hectic) thing happened with our cat .... went down hill very fast - obvious what had to be done and done soon. I needed one more night with her - it was New Year's Eve and a full house. It took everything I had to be nice the next morning and not just burst into tears and ask them all to "please go away - NOW".
All my love and sympathy..
Thanks kiddo. It was rough. I didn't want anyone to be here but we had to keep one room because the past 2 weeks blew the entire bank account. We're hand to mouth again, just as it was getting easier.
Threw all the winter reno plans in the trash. Almost cancelled my family coming to visit so we could open up to make money. But, plane tickets for 5 people to fly cross country ain't cheap and we were past the point of no return on that.
So we put up with more bad reviews based on 'dingy furnishings' and 'outdated TV's and amenties' for another year.
Sorry, it's all starting to hit now.
