I was hoping to fall asleep earlier tonight since I could barely get myself out of the bed this morning. I'd just fallen asleep until I got a barrage of text messages...from stbxw. Jeez...
"DD said she doesn't want to go to camp tomorrow. She said it was too hot there today. She said she might go back thu or Fri.
Also we found our missing cat tonight. Mostly eaten by coyotes in the field by t playground. She is really sad about it. I told her he is in heaven. God needed him early to help him with projects."
Oh no! they just got the two cats and she only got to spend a day with them until she came over to my house. I felt really bad and just replied with:
"Yeah it was hot today and I was hoping DD was drinking plenty of water there today and staying hydrated.
I'm sorry about the cat, I didn't know it was missing"
Then she replied with even more bad news:
"She did drink lots of water but it was still damn hot today so she just wants to stay at school. Yeah this was a bad weekend. I went to [city] to see [ex roommate] cuz her condo had a fire, everything burned on the first floor and the dogs died of smoke inhalation upstairs. And I left so fast that I left one of the windows open and the cat slipped out by pushing the screen out. That happened on Sun. So we found him today. Sucks.
I haven't told DD about the dogs yet so pls don't say anything. She couldn't take it after seeing the cat today."
Oh man...I feel so bad. I haven't responded to the more detailed text I'm thinking I'll just email her tomorrow saying 'I'm so sorry to hear about your roommates dogs and the cat. I don't think DD needs to know about the dogs for now anyway or perhaps even in the future. Just say they went to live with [ex roommate's husband] or something."
So tomorrow when I pick her up from school I'll have to be extra sensitive around her.
You know, these sort of things are what I'm always afraid of and I know they're accidents but I've always been the worry wart and believe in the motto 'be prepared' whether it's earthquake, a break-in, a fire etc. In my long freeway commute I also see fatal accidents some that happened right in front of my eyes...it makes you wonder if all this BS we go through in life is even worth worrying about when life is so short.
