Oh so stressed

It's happening all at once and I really don't like it.
After dealing with lots of poop since Saturday, I took the princess to see the pedi and the pedi seems to think that she has a viral infection that we just have to let run its course. So we are stuck dealing with the several poops a day and at all hours. Definitely not fun, especially since I have gotten used to sleeping for 6 hours at a stretch.
But to top things off, my 7 yr old cat is sick. He hasn't had anything to eat or drink since Tuesday. I took him to the vet today and had blood work and x-rays done to see what it was. His blood work came back fine. The xrays just helped to eliminate a lot of possibilities. So the vet has it narrowed down to an upset stomach from stress or something he ate. Or it could be pancreatitis. So we are giving him the generic brand of pepcid ac to help if it is an upset stomach and a pain reliever if it is the pancreatitis. He also was given an IV for fluids as he was slightly dehydrated. So, he's home now but still hasn't had anything to eat or drink and has not been to the kitty litter. The vet is supposed to call tomorrow to see if anything has changed.
He's definitely not himself at all. I'm really worried and stressed. I don't do well with loss at all and it is killing me to think that I might lose him. Some people may say that it's just a cat, but my pets are family members. So I feel like such crap right now. I really hate this.

A little bit of everything

With the weather becoming more like spring, I'm getting the bug to do so much!!
Princess had a flu bug, we think. She was a pooping machine 1/2 of Sat, Sunday and 1/2 of Monday. We'll see what today brings. I think she caught this when I went to my MIL's sister's place. There were sick people there. Even though I wasn't going to go because of said sick people, I was assured they would not be there. But of course, they were. I'm still pissed about it. I went against my better judgement to please other people. Let me tell you, that's the end of that. I know that people judge me because I"m sure they think that I'm too protective or overbearing, but you know what...tough!! I'm the mommy. Ok - enough about that.
I'm still sewing. I made a bib that took like less than an hour. It looks great!! I just need some NICE material. There are 2 places to buy material where I live - 1 is Wallymart and the other a sewing store. Neither one has nice material that is "in style". It's kind of old granny-ish, which makes sense since there are a lot of quilters of a certain age bracket where i live. I'm going to have to go for a drive really soon to either MTL or OTT. I need some nice material. I think Denis is actually impressed with what I have done so far. Maybe when I've done a few more things, I will take some pictures.
Oh and speaking of pictures, I am sending them out today! So look for one in the mail real soon!! I still haven't scanned any of the pics in yet - but I will harass Denis to do it.
One last thing - I'm going to be trying a new slow cooker recipe this week. It's actually from Martha Stewart's Every day Food magazine. It's called Indian braised chicken. If it's tasty, I will post it.
That's about it for now :)
