State of the kittenhead.
I've been lurking here quietly for quite some time, I know, and have not had the time or energy to engage socially nearly as much as I would like. Life remains difficult on multiple fronts, and while I'm dealing as best I know how, blood and turnips and I are starting to become entirely too familiar.
Recently, after taking the cats to the vet for their checkups, we found multiple masses on apocalyptikitty. He's no spring chicken, I know, but we can't not have him treated - I don't yet know if the masses are cancerous or benign, but one may well be a vaccine-associated sarcoma, based on its location. I've already lost one cat to VAS, and I really hope I don't have to do it again.
He's scheduled for surgery Wednesday (tomorrow) morning, so I would appreciate any good mojo you could send in his direction.
And now for the other part. Surgery is expensive. I have no appreciable income until the farmer's market starts back up in May. Finding creative ways simply to cover my bills has been difficult enough (the joys of being unable to work due to stupid health issues,) but the first estimate for the surgery has us looking at somewhere between $600-$1000.
I'm not asking for a handout, but I am getting together a listing of things to sell, so if there's anything you've been meaning to pick up and I can help you out with, please let me know.
This is what I have gathered so far, but I'm continually adding to the list. If there's something I've got that you'd like that you don't see here, let's talk.
Books & Graphic Novels - combo of new and used, all in v. good shape.
DVDs - Mostly new, some may have been watched once. Still working on this one
Toys & Games - mostly new, a few still in shrink-wrap. I'm working on a list of Lego sets to add, and if you need loose brick, please look at my Bricklink Store.
Beads & Findings - What's in my PKAdoptions store, plus whats at my studio (make an apt, or inquire!)
Yarn & Other Crafty Bits - What's in this Flickr album, plus others I'm working on.
Jewelry - As always, everything listed in my Etsy store, and the online store at pointykitty.net are available. I'm also happy to discuss custom work with any of you.
Photography - Working on it. I'm getting together prints for sale. If there are any in particular that you'd like to see included, let me know. If you'd like to book me as a photographer for any reason, please contact me.
Delivery: Pickup in Madison is fine. I'm also happy to mail things (let me know the method, and I'll get you a quote), or deliver them (I'll be at SuperCon in MN at the beginning of February, and hope to have a Bead Sale again there like I did last year.)
Any questions, feel free to ask!
