Today's good news:  My kitty's oncology appointment, generally speaking, went well.  No change in the tumor in her cheek or in the lymph nodes.  Her heart, lungs, kidneys, and teeth are all good.  Overall, he's so pleased he asked me to take a current picture of her so that she can get posted on their website!

Today's bad news:  She hasn't gained any weight.  Turns out the human baby food she's been going crazy over (since previously refusing to eat) is mostly full of water!  So she's not taking in enough calories even though she's eating it up like a storm.  The oncologist gave me to special cat foods to try out.... naturally she's not crazy about either.  Oh... and I got 4 hrs of unrestful sleep last night worrying over her appointment so naturally I didn't make morning run...or afternoon run... or... well, you get the idea. *sigh*

In other news:  I'm listing more items at my Etsy shop (Imaginative Folly) to help pay for her treatment (which costs $400 per month).  And tomorrow I'm hitting the gym for my missed run.

Yesterday, I saw Oscar Pistorius race in the 400m event at the Olympics.  How could anyone NOT be inspired by him?  It just goes to show you that if you put your mind to it, you can do just about anything.  Absolutely amazing!

OMG, it's August.  I need to get moving!  Need to decide if I'm going to participate in the Princess 1/2 marathon (and/or the 5K).  I just don't know if I have enough time to train/prepare and I so don't want to be one of those people who gets swept.  Need to go to the gym tomorrow.
