Good news and bad news, but good news first.

1. My sinus infection is improving! My immune system just couldn't fight it off this time, but thankfully the doctor was able to step in and help. Planning on getting my immune system checked out soon so we can get an explanation on why I keep coming down with infection and virus one after another. 

2. I finally got a freelance writing gig! I've wanted to become a freelance writer for a while, but I'm always so sick that it's hard to get the time to break into the field. Now that I've broken into the field it shouldn't be quite so hard. 

Now for the sad news...

For the past month our cat Pooka (technically my sister's cat) was sick with an upper respiratory infection. He wasn't getting over it so we took him to the vet and got some tests done and antibiotics. He still wasn't getting over it so we took him back a week later, and at that point they found he had feline leukemia virus. He refused to eat on his own halfway through June and we were having to force a food gel, water, and medicine down him with a syringe daily. He started looking better at the end of last week, his congestion was improving and he could breathe easier. But, apparently his body was still too weak to fight off the FeLV and other infections. He passed away early Monday morning. We are all mourning, but my sister is especially crushed. He was her darling little orange cinnamon roll. 
Here's a picture of him before and after he got sick. (it's my younger sister with him in the picture)
