Gorgeous night sky @Owlunar 😁
Finally had that tooth out but still some tenderness and discomfort. It usually takes a couple of weeks but it is improving.
Back to the vet with Tobes and Clover this week and my Dad has an appointment at the heart specialist on Monday. He has been told he needs an urgent procedure but not full open heart surgery (as yet - we hope). It is pretty scary though - and I don't deal with health issues with my family well - that is an effect of finding my Pop ...I tend to shut down all emotions to cope. So going to be a pretty big week again with lots to deal with.

That's a big deal @Zoe7 - and something really hard to deal with. My son-in-law had open heart surgery a few years ago - it was stressful for everyone but he came through it well
Actually - when he came home and I could visit he grabbed my arm and asked me if
I knew what they had done - yes - I did - and I explained it - I am a clever little owl and I had looked it up on YouTube - I think it helped.
Of course - I do understand - you have whatever is coming ahead of you and you manage by shutting you emotion down - I get it - as much as I can I will be here for you - it's not easy typing with one hand and I need to rest a lot - one email at a time I think.
I love it that I was able to post a picture and glad you liked it - I can post another
And I care - how I wish I could get on a plane and just be with you to hold your hand - I am in spirit though.
Sending love and best wishws

Dad is in hospital @Owlunar - the specialist put him straight in when he saw him today. He is scheduled for surgery on Friday - all being okay between now and then. At this stage it is expected to be the more minor procedure but they will know more over the coming days with more tests and ongoing treatment. I spoke to him tonight and although he sounded very tired, he was okay. I can't get in to see him tomorrow but hoping once I pick up Clover Wednesday afternoon that I will have time then.
I also had a shite afternoon at work - got annoyed with a colleague teacher and let her know. It has been coming all year. She has refused any help from anyone and never does what she is supposed to - which makes it hard for the entire team to work. I know she is not coping with a tricky class but I honestly don't think it would matter what class she had. She was the same last year in a different role (no class) so I expected this would be the outcome this year. I wish I had been wrong 😥 Not looking forward to tomorrow but I suspect she may not be there anyway.

Aw @Zoe7
I am so sorry - and concerned - I was actually praying when I suddenly had the urge to pick up my phone and read the forum and saw your message.
This is a hard time for you - I understand - I know for sure we are together in spirit and I am holding you tight and I am one tough little owl and I care so much - I will continue my prayers with you and your Dad in mind.
You do not need this problem with this rogue teacher - rogue in the sense that she seems to do her own thing regardless of the team - and this makes it hard for everyone - perhaps she will take tomorrow off - I hope so.
It's okay that you got annoyed and let her know - she needs to know she is not complying with the consensus of her colleagues - I understand though - it's hard when we are push past our patience - I truly get it - I have done something similar recently and I know - we have limits and people who push us hard enough will have to learn something - somehow.
But today - of all days - enough was enough - obviously - my heart feels it.
And prayers - yes - they can really work
My love

Hi @Zoe7
I guess you are at work - I have been thinking of you - through the night actually and today -
Sincerely - I hope that person who isn't up to team-work stayed at home today and you could get on with your day without her interference.
My arm is a lot better - I can do more today - my shoulder is objecting to my moving about but it is not in charge of my life - a nuisance though

Hey Mumma Bear. Just a quick message as I have just got home from hospital. Have a mild concussion from a collision of heads with a student. She is okay - thank goodness - I certainly came off much worse. Will tell you more later when I am feeling a bit better. @Owlunar 💖

Ouch @Zoe7
This is something you didn't need - that's for sure.
I'm glad the little girl is okay and - whoops - you did come of second best and I am sorry about that.
I hope you feel better in the morning - care heaps - I guess you have a cracking headache.
Oh dear - I will have you in mind again
Lots of gentle hugs

Head is very sore and still have a headache @Owlunar but my vision is a little better. Was able to get Clover to the vet this morning and made another appointment for Toby late this afternoon. They squeezed us in as I was unable to take him yesterday. Unfortunately there is a lot of noise from next door so it is not going to be the completely restful day I need but hoping it is not all day.

Hi @Zoe7
Skull v skull contact hurts a lot and I am glad you are - well - as far as possible - taking it easy today - of course your fur-babies need to see their provider as well - I'm glad they can fit you in.
People sharing their noise - alas that happens and when we need it the least it seems to be the hardest to endure. I hope it stops too -
You have had a tough run this week - with your Dad in hospital and your fur-kids sick too and now concussion - I do have you close to my heart and wish you the time to heal - bearing in mind your Dad has a procedure on Friday - I am praying it all goes well.
Sending very gentle hugs
