Second Pre Weekend Update

I've managed to get a fair amount done since Wednesday. I went back over my notes and I began this project on Began Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Today's post is 10 days of progress. With a little bit of luck, I *should* be able to finish it up this weekend and get it returned back to  Patricia G of the Fans of Blackbird Designs Facebook Group. If I manage to finish it up by Tuesday, the 25th, that would mean approximately 2 weeks from start to finish. None too shabby considering that this project is a bit more involved than I gave it credit for! 

Well, at any rate, here is my second pre-weekend progress:

I heard back from the specialty care vet's office. Even with pathology tests run, they still do not know what my poor cat has. The internists and oncology doctors consulted with one another and with pathology and apparently, if it *is* cancer, it is in its very wee infancy. He's not throwing up blood or bile, no going outside of the box, no howling, no nothing other than changes in drinking water and some behavior. This is frustrating, however, cancer would have been worse, I think. A cancer diagnosis is only 6 months with chemo :/. Which is no bueno. So, the next step will be a urine culture to see if it may be a kidney infection. If *that* test winds up negative, then there will be a confab to see what, if any, additional options there may be. In the mean time, in between time, it appears as if the weekend has already arrived:

Well, I had best be off. No rest for the wicked and all that. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! :)
