Emotions and worries

As I start writing this, Koa has been with me for about 3½ weeks. We had some ups and downs, but all in all, I think we're not doing too bad. I knew this would take time, and while my AuDHD is eager for "getting back to normal", I know that Koa and I are still working on settling to what our "normal" should look like. My brain is still used to the way things were when Arwen was still in my life. It sometimes forgets that it took time for Arwen and me to settle as well. And, of course, that Arwen was a whole different dog than Koa is... Somehow, I "want" it all to work out well, and all that, and I know I need to allow it the time it needs, which I am certainly inclined to give. But that nagging feeling of my autistic side, longing for some more relaxed and settled routines... Well, it can be a big pain in the big behind 😔. […]
