Lacie

My friend wants to be Fionna for Naka-kon and all she needs is the backpack. I can make it for her but I can't find felt fabric. I have looked in all the fabric places near me but they either don't have the right color or the squares are too small. I'd rather not have to use a different fabric.

My year has started out horribly. I became sick new year's eve and I'm still getting worse. I now have an ear infection. I got the worst cramps I've ever had in my life.

I think my dad has Alzheimer's or something close to it.

My step mom has something wrong with her but the doctors can't figure out what.

My brother's girlfriend is almost 21 with a 1 year old son and yet she acts like a child. She is a pathological liar and refuses to admit that she did anything wrong. She picks fights with everyone and doesn't care if her son is around. She has made my little sister cry on a few occasions.

One of my best friends moved away permanently. Another of my best friends has a long list of things going wrong with her as well. Most of which are worse then mine and has made her think there might actually be an "end of the world" coming.

Some advice for making my year at least a little better would be much appreciated.

We got a 2 year old terrier from the shelter not too long ago. He seems healthy but since he's been here my other dog (10 year old greyhound) hasn't been well. I don't know if it's him or coincidence. She suddenly started attacking her feet. She has been licking and biting them constantly. It’s so bad the fur is thinning and the skin is red. She also lies around more and doesn’t really come when I call her. I wish she could see a vet but my dad won’t take her. He thinks it will stop in time but I’m worried. She is my girl and I don’t want anything to happen to her. Please help me. If I can show my dad there is something really wrong with her then he will help her. Thank you for any help you can give.
