So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.

My animals are my support system - they provide 100% unconditional love. I've had the same two dogs for 16 years.
In April Little Miss' kidney disease got to the point I had to make the compassionate choice for her. And today I did the same for Little Man. My heart is breaking, and I don't know how to handle it.

My heartfelt sympathy. my dog woody died a year ago, after a short serious illness and he only turned ten. the feeling of an amputated heart remains, but after a short time I filled the gaping hole with a lovely new dog from the shelter. Her name is Aqua; a different dog person and a different character. but also new responsibility for an innocent life, a new friendship and a new love.
even looking back, I see no other alternative for me to endure this.

On the way home from the vet's office, hubs said he wasn't ready right now, but he new he would want to look at another dog in the future.
I will, too.

I don't know if this will help anyone else, but I'll put it out there:
OTC sleep aids usually use an antihistamine, for the side-effect of making you drowsy. Not all are equal.
I go to sleep easily, but tend to wake up early - hours early. Doxylamine Succinate stays in your system longer, and will help you stay asleep. I buy 25mg tablets that break in half, so I'm getting 12-13mg, and that works for me.
