Enzo impressed me again with a perfect dumbbell retrieve over 20 times, 5 minute sit stay and down stay while I walked around the facility doing other things, immediately coming to heel without me calling him to heel, and ignoring another dog although they were nose to nose until I gave him his release command. Holy crap, he is everything I’ve ever wanted in a dog.Hex is fully recovered from her ACL surgery! We’re back up to 4 mile hikes, running, and competing in obedience trials. She is in really good shape now. Obviously conformation dog shows are not my priority but I think I will show her a couple of times in the summer in addition to competing in rally obedience and earning her Fit Dog title.My mental health is so much better now. I’m actually doing really well and feel like I’m alive instead of just surviving. Having breaks from work sometimes, working out, not being hard on myself about my body shape, dating, making friends, and working harder to earn titles with my dogs and competing, have all made a huge difference. I’m so much happier than I was for the past few years.In a surprising turn of events, a girl gave me her number. She said she sees me around all the time and has always wanted to talk to me so she was actually out there waiting for me this time. She is from Poland and speaks kind of broken English. I seem to attract Polish people for some reason since a lot of my irl friends are Polish. What a weird day lolIn case anyone didn’t see my post about the 5k in the “weird or random” thread, we completed in in under 35 minutes, didn’t come in last, and even jogged part of the way. Even in old running sneakers that were too small. I’m very proud but very tired! And now I’m going to get takeout and go to sleep lol. Hopefully I’ll be able to walk tomorrow.For specific context about my mom, earlier tonight she came over to drop something off, and noticed that I'd gotten paneer tikka masala for dinner. She was like "Eww, is that tofu?" and I told her "No, it's paneer." She looked it up and was like "Why would you eat that? That's DISGUSTING." Like that is not necessary to say to me at all! If you're going to judge my food so rudely, just leave me alone!My mom is so rude that a lot of times interacting with her just makes me want to cry. I find myself ruminating about things she said that were hurtful and feeling embarrassed that I said something to initiate it, and wishing I'd said something different. When I point out to her that she has hurt my feelings, she gets defensive and yells at me.I did think I had gotten everything fixed with the estrogen replacement therapy, but the “false pregnancy” symptoms are back with a vengeance. I’m so uncomfortable. I doubt I can get a doctor’s appointment before I have to do the 5k tomorrow but I hope I don’t feel awful the whole time. I did a lot of research online and the side effects I’m having aren’t unheard of. They’re TMI so I won’t share in a profile post.
