  1. Julia, I’m so sorry to hear that Monkey cat is so seriously ill. I know how you feel and I keep my fingers crossed that the sweet girl will recover soon.
    Congratulations on being a contributor for BHG.com. That’s fabulous!

  2. I am also so sorry to hear about your sweet kitty. Hopefully they will figure something out soon. Good luck.

    1. She has a bladder infection, kidney disease and something else but we aren’t sure yet what it is 🙁

  3. So sorry Monkey is ill! Sending good thoughts! Hoping and praying for a recovery for your sweet girl!

    1. She has a bladder infection, kidney disease and something else but we aren’t sure yet what it is 🙁 Going back to the vet tonight

    1. Thanks it’s certainly pouring here right now. Wish it would be pouring money though 😉

  4. I am praying for little Monkey kitty. You have to take care of yourself and not feel obligated to say yes to everything. Only yes to the things that make you happiest. Congrats on being a contributor to BHG. Your fans will be here for you. So glad your mom is coming to visit….how much fun.

    1. Thanks Debbie, I’m trying to say only yes to things that matter to me. It’s hard sometimes 😉

    Soooooooo sorry you sweet Monkey baby is ill! I’ll say a prayer for her. I love your blog – it’s always fully of great ideas. I’m looking forward to seeing your Christmas decorating ideas. I’m starting soon myself.

    1. Thanks so much Jan. Monkey is going to the vet later again. She has a bladder infection, kidney disease and something else but we aren’t sure yet what it is 🙁

  6. The title of your post sums up my life, too. Hang in there Julia… things will slow down eventually. XO to Monkey cat. 🙂

    1. You too Diane. I know you have a beautiful lake house waiting at the end of your tunnel 🙂
      Monkey is going back to the vet in an hour.

    1. Die kann die guten Wünsche gebrauchen 🙁 Vielen Dank Karin

  8. Hang in there, Julia! And I hope Monkey recovers soon! Wishing you quality some time to yourself soon so you can feel refreshed! *kissy face emoji*

    1. Thanks Brynne, I’m praying that her kidneys won’t fail and that they will let her live much longer

  9. Oh hun, I’m so sorry about Monkey – I really hope she pulls though, it’s so awful to see them like that and you feel so helpless to help them. I lost Senna (our ginger girl) due to kidney disease but only because she was so odd anyway, it was hard to see a shift in her behaviour and we caught it too late. I do hope they have caught it all in time for your little girl and she starts feeling well again. Chin up, my friend, and look forward to your mom’s visit – also, I reckon I might have been too late with the book!! Gah! I only posted them out this week so it may not reach her in time for her visit! If not, let me know and I’ll post another directly to you and she can keep that one 😉 xxx

    1. That’s ok, I’ll get the book when I’m there next summer.
      Monkey is doing a little better but I have to get myself prepared for the fact that she won’t get really old most likely. She has a bladder infection, kidney disease and also pancreatitis which is why she wasn’t eating. I’m praying that her kidneys won’t fail and let her live for much longer.

  10. That is a lot. Hope things slow down for you soon! (not likely this time of year, I know…..)

    So sorry to hear about Monkey. I know how much you love your pets, and it feels just awful when they are sick! Sorry things have been crazy lately, but it sounds like there’s so much good mixed in with that crazy! I’ll be praying for Monkey and you as the Christmas season kicks up and it feels like there isn’t enough time to get everything done!
