It's been entirely too long since I have posted something, but sometimes I feel like it's better not to share everything (definitely becoming a fb pet peeve). Especially when it feels like things keep going from bad to worse. Joseph has officially been medically retired from the Navy for about two and a half months and it still feels like we are in an adjustment period. Can't seem to kick the doom and gloom feeling. Especially when the VA messed up and nobody seems to be able to answer our questions, fix the problem, and give us the money that was due to us on the 1st. The money we were supposed to pay our bills with. I feel angry and frustrated and helpless dealing with all the bureaucratic bs. On top of all these other things, our poor little Mirah (the hamster) passed away unexpectedly last week. We didn't have her for long, but it's still hard to lose a pet that you have taken care of and loved for more than a year. I keep have these nightmare flashes of something happening to Ember and I just don't know what I would do. She really is my little angel and my best friend sometimes. She always misses me when I am not here and is happy to see me when I come home. Is there anything better than knowing you're wanted and loved? Even if to some people she is "just" a pet bird, she is much more than that to me. Some people just don't understand that bond and never will.
