Toebean has yawned a few times...

Toebean has yawned a few times over the last few days without crying. I don't know if it's the antibiotics or not, but that and the steroid shot is the only thing new. He's still on Gabapentin, but the dose hasn't changed or anything and that by itself wasn't enough before.

I'm glad he's not crying lately. He even played a little bit earlier today. Hopefully, he's on the mend from whatever has been hurting his mouth.

This video is from a few days ago. The photo is from today. Oreo is yoyo-ing again. His stomach has been loud and rumbly and he's vomited and sleeping a lot. Thankfully his lows are less low than before. He's still getting the enzyme to help him digest, but it could still be a few weeks before it's really noticeable that it's helping.

He's going to the vet again tomorrow. We're going to ask about getting a B12 shot and also the antibiotic that should help his gut in case of infection there.

He has an appointment here on the 9th and we're planning to test him for EPI and get a care plan in place. I'm ready! I've missed him so much! ❤️

Toebean (our tailless kitty) just rubbed his nub against Cub. It was very cute. I've never seen him do that before. ❤️

Despite how many times he was shot...

Despite how many times he was shot, Oreo is shockingly chill about fireworks. This boy never ceases to amaze me.

Migraine day.

Migraine day. Waiting for these meds to kick in. Boyfriend is a great care-taker.

Stay safe today and secure your pets. ❤️

I'm terrible. I can't stop laughing right now. 😂😂😂

I'm terrible. I can't stop laughing right now. 😂😂😂

Before I say what I'm about to say, some backstory:

I like lights on. I like it bright and light in the house.

Shaun is the opposite. He likes it dark. He is always complaining about me turning lights on without warning him, even in the daytime when there is a lot of natural light and it's not super jarring to turn lights on.

So it's late right now. We're in bed with the lights off. I'm on my side facing Shaun while scrolling on my phone. I decide it's time to dim my phone by turning on the "Night Light" feature.

I, (really and truly) accidentally turned my flashlight on directly into his eyeballs. 😂😂😂

He laughed it off and I can't stop laughing, but I do feel bad at the same time. I might need to rearrange my menu so that doesn't happen again.

I don't know why he puts up with me and my nonsense, but I'm glad that he does. 😂

Me and Kira went out today.

Me and Kira went out today. We saw some balloons this afternoon. We could see them from the back yard, but one was landing near the road as we were heading to our appointments. That will probably forever be one of my favorite things about here.

We went and got some piercings today. Kira got her other nostril pierced, so now she's symmetrical. I got the second holes in my earlobes redone. They were done with a gun 1000 years ago and one of them was a bit lower than I wanted it. I've been wanting them redone since I was in Cincinnati and finally got around to doing it.

The shop (Evolution Body Piercing) was not only efficient and clean and super professional, but gorgeous, too. It had this weird dark, nature-meets-industrial vibe. It was decorated with all kinds of rocks and plants and geodes and a fountain. It also doesn't do anything but piercing, which I thought was neat.

We had a pretty good day. Now I'm off to do my sadly-neglected nails. I've been super bad about leaving my gel down for 3+ weeks and I have some breaks to show for it. Time to get right. 😂
