well dropped my son down to his voluntary work place on Monday. have to say it is great not to have an active addicted person in my space. I found it very draining. I feel guilty for thinking and saying this.  The man my son and his friends injured has been moved to a nearby hospital, a less acute unit. He requires extensive speech therapy so I pray for his recovery every night. I still feel horribly embarrassed but a lot of people have offered support. My neighbour lost her dog the other night and she had felt awkward around me before this but I called and offered to help her look for the dog. He is a cute bijon frise, unfortunately our black lab and the cute little white dog don't get on since my dog rolled her in the muck when a puppy. However we have grown fond of her hysterical barking when puppy is on view. The little dog turned up the next day, having spent the night in dirty pipe in the children's park. For the first time ever she never barked at our dog, and our neighbours were very grateful for our assistance and support.
