Little update.

It's 01:32AM on Tuesday, the 1st of September.

I'm sitting in bed with my laptop, writing this, while One Tree Hill's first season plays in the background on my TV.

All while also listening to my cat's troubled breathing.

I was supposed to be in class yesterday at about 12PM, but instead, I was standing in the middle of my room in the dorms, talking on FaceTime with my mom, when she told me to pack a bag and come back home as soon as possible if it didn't mess with my classes. So I did. I was at the bus station by 01:23PM with a backpack, a shoulder bag, and a jacket, having a chicken teriyaki sub while waiting for my bus.

Spent 6 long hours drawing and reading on my way home, while praying for a turn of events (a eucatastrophe, maybe), to find my cat all healthy in the living room, begging to go out for the night.

But that was obviously far from reality.

He was in the living room; that part stayed true.

But he was just lying there, eyes barely open and all teary.

He slept all night in my bed with me, didn't drink, didn't eat, didn't even get up.

Today, at 08:43 AM, we checked him in at the Vet, like every morning since last Thursday.

At 06:30 PM, when we went to pick him up, we were given a short update on his condition: still unknown cause, dehydrated, so he got fluids through an IV, didn't eat, so he'll be getting a feeding tube tomorrow. He also seemed a little more down than yesterday, but he managed to get out of my bed and walked to the bathroom twice tonight!!

I don't know if I'm setting myself up for heartbreak or disappointment; hopefully not.

But I can't help being a little (really, really) sad.

So I guess this is my way of explaining (even if it's not needed) why I haven't posted for a couple of days, or why I won't be posting/updating my page for the next couple of days or weeks, which goes complely against what I had planned.

I guess that's all I have to say this time.

Thanks for stopping by.

xoxo, Bluu.
