There is a nervous tension in the air that has me feeling on edge and unsettled. Even after a hugely stressful day it's still there. I thought for sure that my unsettled feeling was a premonition for that event but the unsettledness is still there, not diminished at all.
The last time I felt this way was a few days before 9-11. I don't fancy myself any kind of psychic, but I felt icky before that awful day. I feel icky now. I hope I am very, very wrong. I'm not sure I can handle any more right now.
In other news, a dog experiment was totally successful last night. Poor Toby suffers from separation anxiety and thus our nights were difficult. He was fine if someone was in the room with him, but as soon as we left to head upstairs he whined and cried. Some nights he could be settled but most nights one of us ended up on the couch. I decided that we'd try putting his bed in our room. I figured we could move the crate if necessary but for now I thought that his bed would be sufficient. I was right. I put it in the corner and gated our room. He sniffed and snorfed because we had not really let him be upstairs at all and he needed to check it out. Once he was satisfied, and after he finished barking at the blinking light on the alarm clock (stupid dog, lol) he went over to his bed, fluffed it up a bit, and plopped down in ungraceful Toby style. He was there all night. Quiet. Sleeping. Success! When dh got up he walked him and put him back in the room, where he went BACK to sleep. So, I foresee more restful nights in our future, at least where dog is concerned.
