You know how when you haven't posted for a while, & it feels even more weird to actually post?
*face palm*
So, sorry - I am around & I'm okay. I just don't do much online anymore.

As a quick catch up - since my last post, I've had two new cancerous tumors, two surgeries & one round of radioactive iodine. Things are looking better now & I'm having bi-monthly ultrasounds to check for any other growths. Fingers crossed, things are clear so far.

In more pleasant news:

• I've had a 'big birthday' (50!!) which I celebrated with a fancy dress party with my friends & family & had the Best. Time. Ever.


• Buddy is an old, rather frail boy now, but he's plodding on & still enjoying life. He'll be 13 in January & is managing really well, despite his IBD & arthritis (which we're keeping under control with diet & medication.)


• I've learnt to crochet & am now addicted to making amigurumi animals!


• I've joined a local, amateur theatre company & am enjoying helping with wardrobe & front of house (not acting - you won't get me on stage!)

Here's my little old man enjoying a day at the beach a couple of weeks ago. ♥



Hugs to all!

Hi -- I was just thinking about you yesterday while I was reading some of this years SGAreversebigbang and looking at the art. I was thinking, "Bluespiritstar really knows her SGA pics. I wish I had asked her to help me choose a Rodney and John pix for a project." And then, here you are. Yay!

The local theater company sounds super fun. Theater folks always have such energy, it's nice to be part of that.

I hope you show us some of your amigurumi sometime.

My cat and my son's dog are about the same age as Buddy. The cat probably has IBS and is going to the vet soon. Buddy looks great and contentedly happy.

I hope that you're having fun with the Reverse BB!

I'll have to dig some pics out (& hopefully not bore people with my homemade makes! *g*)

Bud's doing really well - he's had some difficult patches in the last couple of years but our vet calls him a miracle dog!
There are good sensitive foods available, as well as any medication your vet might prescribe, & so I would see what they can do for your kitty. ♥
