Hi everyone,

Hope everyone's doing well.

Thanks again for the support on my kitty cat. She's doing better, still got the cancer, but the BF has taken it upon himself to get her the best care he can find. He's contacted a kitty oncologist with one of the medical universites in the state and he's going to take her to see him on Friday. It's sort of sweet to see him as broken up about her as what he is. She's an easy kitty to fall in love with though. Any vet she sees always gives her a "gold star" for Patient of the Day. She's always so cooperative and quiet, even when you're drawing her blood or rolling her over on her back.

In the meantime, I'm dying. I have a really terrible upper respiratory infection that I've been fighting for a week now. I can't seem to shake it. My head and lungs feel like they're completely plugged up and what makes it difficult is that I can't lie down and rest! I'm working my regular 40 hours and I've got all this school stuff that I HAVE to do. I worked a hospital clinical last weekend sick as a dog (I couldn't get out of it - if you don't show up, you fail). And I have a paper still to write, two tests to take yet, another exam to study for... well - you get the idea. There's no time to be sick.

What I need is a good couple of days to just lie and bed and sleep and drink tea and watch TV in my jammies. But I ain't going to get that any time soon.
