Far and Away

So glad you live so close to the school and can come home to check on Cat @Zoe7 .... not having to take leave will be easier on your budgeting, so a bit less stress there .....

I am sorry you are not feeling well @oceangirl . I am sure most of us would have been in a spin over an afternoon like that, and fearing the worst, given Kira’s history and the circumstance. I hope you can settle in to some self-care tonight.

Hey @Angels333 I haven’t forgotten that you’re an artist, and your avatar is your own work ..... 🎨👍

A BA Visual Arts is my goal, but I am working on a 6-months-at-a-time plan because things are so dicey at home around diagnosed and undiagnosed mental health issues. I have been studying for 18 months now, and it has been so good for me ❣️ I just didn’t know what to do with myself before this, and my art ended up somewhere behind our business, kids, health issues, family issues, etc. I am finding the formal learning gives me the space I need for me, for as long as this lasts ..... hopefully through to a completed degree.

So glad to hear you are “arting” 😁

Glad Kira is okay @oceangirl

@Faith-and-Hope I still have a little long service leave available so I would have still been paid if it had been accepted. I will probably have to take some of Thursday afternoon off to pick up Toby but that depends on what time they do his teeth and he is ready to come home. They are usually happy to keep him there until I finish work so it is good it is so close - only 5 minutes from work and home 👍

Cat has had her pain killer drops and eaten again. She was standing near the door poor little thing - bet she wants to go out into the kennel - but she has to stay inside until she goes back to the vet. She has been sleeping on her bed on the floor in her room all afternoon so I really have not had to do anything but check on her. Both babies asleep again now so I am resting a little myself. Got a few more things I want to get done tonight before I head to bed. What are you up to tonight?

I was considering starting some homework @Zoe7, but I am tired and it has been a stressful week. I might just go snuggle up in bed from now ....,

My brain isn’t working properly anyway .... I forgot you said long service leave .... lol.

That sounds like a great idea Hon 👍 You have had a massive week with so much going on so get all the rest you can. Imagine yourself snuggled up with Cat - a little purring fluffball cuddled in next to you keeping you company 😺 Homework can wait until tomorrow @Faith-and-Hope ...look after you tonight

That brought s smile to my face @Zoe7 ❣️

Here is the little face I was greeted with when the vet messaged me @Faith-and-Hope This was so wonderful to see...

Wow that came up quick @Sans911 ...thankyou @Former-Member

She does have an adorable face Hon but your precious little fur babies do too. How are they?

Hahaha .... bigger smile here now @Zoe7 .... 😁

Thought you may like that Hon @Faith-and-Hope

I get to see that gorgeous little face for much longer now and you would hardly know she has had an operation except for the large dressing on her tummy. She is surpassing all hope I had but we still have to wait for the biopsy results.

One more day for me and then back at work. I really am not looking forward to it - feel like I have nt really had a good break with all the stress but have to go Definitely going to miss my babies ...as you can imagine I have had my little shadow with me everywhere these past two weeks and it will be strange not having him by my side. ...but 2 days then my day off so I can handle that 👍

Has D2 started any drawing in her visual diary?
