hello october seems to be the overall theme of the day and that's just fine with me. it means that fall is just around the corner and all of my favorite activities and hobbies will be enjoyable again. it means that i will get back to my normal self. things have been so strange lately but i will not go into much detail. just a couple weeks ago i felt as if summer would never end. here i am, relaxing in my bed with the cat by my side feeling sick and full of cold medicine. fall is quickly approaching and more than anything i want it to be wonderful. the most traumatic thing that came my way recently was that i had to deal with my kitty almost dying on me. he got a urinary tract infection which caused him to start urinating blood and getting crystals in his system. he just completed all of his antibiotics on thursday and continuing his diet of special urinary food. my little guy is slowly getting back to his normal self. it is absolutely amazing how much one animal can mean to someone. he may be seven years old but it never feels like that long.
