GOOD NEWS: I've grown another half an inch so I am 5'9 1/2"
I've just ordered myself the Wolves Of Time books from amazon, which, FUCKING FINNALLY. I've been looking for them for a long long time but they were out of print so I've been trawling used book shops and online and I finally found them, so yays for that!
BAD NEWS: I've lost about half a stone. So now I'm only 5 1/2 stone (77 pounds). I am massively underweight, my BMI is 11 and 18.5 is considered underweight. Bring on the health issues, again. I'm really really stressed out at the moment, and tired and I've been sick recently so all of that's probably contributed. And it's not like I'm eating less, if anything I'm eating more than usual because I've been stuck at home. Blergh.
Really really bad news: My cat has cancer, they're not sure if it's cancer of the lymph nodes or leukemia so they did a biopsy on Wednesday and we should get the results today (Friday). I just, I know it sounds kind of shitty but I've been prepared for him dying for a while. Cos he's getting old, he's 12, and he has a heart murmur and wasn't expected to make it past 7.
At first I thought he'd poisoned himself because he's been licking the Stove Black polish off the fireplace, but, well, it's not that. I have to make the decision in the next few days about whether or not to treat him or just leave him be until it finally takes hold. Idk, he's old but apart from the cancerous lumps and him sleeping a bit more he's still himself. As far as we can tell he's not in any pain, and he'd be fairly vocal about it if he was. Felix knows some thing's happening because he's taken to sleeping on my pillow again, which he hasn't done since he was a little kitten. I keep falling asleep with my hand on his side to make sure he's still breathing.
So yeah these are the long and rambling reasons why I am not around, sorry guys, I'm a really bad lj friend at the moment.
