I keep looking at photos of puppies online to cheer myself up. It’s much better than what I was doing before, which was drinking… alone.

Today was one of the worst days I’ve ever had. I went to the funeral of a 2 year old. He was Ed’s ex-girlfriend’s nephew. Ed was with her for 4 years & he was even there when the little boy was born. She invited me to go, so I went with Ed for support. Being surrounded by her family & friends was stressful, to say the least, but nothing could be worse than the overall situation. It was a baby’s funeral. We didn’t even go up to the casket because it was just too much. I wish his family the best & I can’t imagine how they feel. It’s just devastating.

This has ended the worst week I’ve had it quite awhile. I wish I could explain it fully, but I just can’t. There’s so much that just doesn’t make sense.

I went shopping with my mom today. It’s the first time we had done anything, just the two of us, for a long time. I had a really great time & even got some Christmas shopping done.

It was a great start to the new week because last week was nothing short of horrendous.
