Hi everyone, I know it has been a long time but I do have some news, both good and bad.
Good news first, I guess? After almost 5 years of trying to find out about and treat my ever-worsening illness and four years after a diagnosis of "suspected" endometriosis, I have a surgery tentatively booked for the end of this month! I will need a while to recover and possibly even a second surgery depending on what is done and what they find, but I am shocked I've even made it this far. I won't go into my new symptoms here, but let's just say they're medically, uhh, fascinating.
So now, the bad news. My 13 year old fur baby, whose picture graces the story my cats enjoy writing, passed away on the 28th. She battled two kinds of cancer for an entire year like an absolute bamf, but she had a rapid decline in the past month and we couldn't let her suffer any longer. There was no hope of recovery for her, and we had to let her go. I know she is in good company across the rainbow bridge, and that is my sole consolation.
As for my writing, right now I barely feel human. I have been debating a fluff story offshoot of Pajamas and have been collecting lots more inspo for that story as well. I keep hoping that as I recover from endo excision, I will be able to write more and perhaps go back over some previous chapters that need a little more help.
I hope that all of you are well and enjoying life! If you are writing or reading any beast world stories, please drop them in a comment. I have so much catching up to do!
