The Amoeba Whisperer: "It's All Dog Training!"

[GoatGal]

Sorry, Matt.

Hmm... #2. That's Therapy, right?
I guess you're correct. It IS telling him what to do.
But no OW is OK, right? Because I couldn't handle that one.
I have trouble with him not being in therapy either, but I get it.

No. I would NEVER ask for a R talk!

I had texted him re: not being around today and being in bed.
"Sorry I was so crappy today. Guess there's just a lot going on right now."

He said "What is up?... Don't text, let's talk tomorrow, live."
--------------------------------------

I know it's a small thing.

But historically he avoids even responding to anything that might lead to a discussion about *GASP* EMOTIONS!!!

So, it's kind of a big deal.
Or it could be nothing.
I just want to be prepared if he does open the door to talk a bit.

I don't even want a R talk, it just might happen if I'm not careful.

I just need to be doing less and not wearing myself out.
Somehow we need to agree about how we can make that happen.
-----------------------------------

I'm thinking about just putting it out there, just the facts:

"My doctor is concerned about my well being, this is too much for one person, what can we do to make things easier at this time... "
and be open to what he has to say.

My major issues are:
1. Lack of sleep
2. Too much labor with animals. house, property
3. Safety issues: Living alone, animals
4. Not enough human interaction/ability to get out
5. I want to make sure the animals are cared for

My well being comes first before anyone or anything else.
If I don't have that, I don't have anything.


I think I could have handled this better a week ago, but I am feeling pretty down and vulnerable at the moment.
No doubt he picks up on this.
Unlike me, he reads people very well.
