Fluffbutts

**UPDATE: for now, I get to keep my gall bladder.  Yay!**

I’ll have more of an update as I get results in.

It could be as late as the end of next week.

Thanks for keeping me in your thoughts & prayers.

I can’t believe I hesitated so much over introducing a kitten into our home.  Campbell fits right in.  He and Bailey are BFFs.  And the two of them just make my heart swell.  I know, if you follow me on Instagram, there’s a huge chance you all are whispering out the sides of your mouth crazy cat lady.  And I’m ok with that.  You have no idea how much I have to refrain myself from posting every. single. adorable. photo. I take of them.  I do really try.  For every picture I post, there are about 100 others that I refrain from posting!!  

When J and I were living separately (if you’re new, he moved to BC 5 months before I was able to follow), I said a hundred times a day there was no way I’d have survived that without Bailey & George.  Bailey made me feel safe.  And some days, on the days I felt like all I wanted to do was stay in bed and cry (again, if you’re new–our living separately may have sent me into a sad state….), she gave me a reason to get out of bed.  There was no ignoring that cute little nose on the edge of the bed begging to go out.  It’s a little thing, but it helped. 

Today, I’m feeling especially grateful.  For my friends.  For my family.  For my darling husband who works his ass off (even if it IS a job he loves so much he’d do it for free!).  And I’m thankful for these little fluffballs.  If you haven’t noticed, I’m sick a lot.  I wish it weren’t true, but it is what it is.  And nothing makes a sick Joey feel more comfortable than these two little snugglebutts.  The very first picture in the collage?  That was yesterday morning when I couldn’t pull myself out of bed.  They just know.  And they’re happy to just sit.
