I was just getting ready to write my journal last week and say that everything was going just fine. Should have known better. Ollie has developed a growth on his rear end under his tail and a trip to the vet told us its rather like prostate cancer in humans and he is now having female doggy hormones which he will have to have on a regular basis to see whether they will shrink it. They'll also possibly try and remove it. I think we're talking megga bucks and we don't have insurance. At the moment he's quite well in himself but it has sent OH into a downward spiral again.
Eating hasn't been too good the past couple of days although I havent exceeded my calories. Did a big shop today and felt really mean cause I didn't buy OH the sticky cake he wanted. I just couldn't face going for a coffee and buying one for him and not having one. He wouldn't go on his own while I shopped so he went without and I feel guilty. Seems to be a fault of mine - feeling guilty if I do something that's right for me but doesn't suit others.
We've had superb autumn weather this last week - verynippy morning and evening but glorious winter sun during the day. The colours in the leaves sparkle with the dew when the sun comes out. I've spent a couple of days in the garden putting it to bed for the winter. It looks lovely and the pink and purple michaelmas daisies are giving a lovely show of colour. Happy healthy eating

Oh I am so sorry about Ollie. I know how one thing, added to the mix, just upsets the applecart so to speak. You have NOTHING to feel guilty about Flaxseed!!! Though I am well acquainted with what you describe. It is okay to focus on taking care of you. It is not good for you to indulge OH if it is at your own expense because in the long run you do not feel well and then it makes it more difficult to be supportive of him. You know all this much better than I ... having been at it for a fair stretch of time. You tell me to take care of myself ... so I'm telling you the same thing!! If I were there I'd steal you away for some tea and girl talk!!!

Poor Ollie! I can relate to the expense. Abraham's bill yesterday was staggering. I'm so happy you stuck to your resolve about the cake. I hope the guilt doesn't last long - OH had options! He probably thought you'd give in - he'll learn. :) Wish I could join you and madaboutmoose for tea. That would be so nice! (((((((((hugs)))))))))
