Fur, Facebook and Snow

     This has been my life as of late. The fur part belongs to my youngest's cat, Onyx, he has a chronic upper respiratory virus which when it acts up it makes him very sick. The unfortunate part of this is it also affects his eyes, his left eye especially. Last week it got to the point where his left eye ruptured which ment a visit to the emergency vet clinic. His right eye had a small infection so he was put on clavamox and some eye ointment. Took him to vet the next day and it was confirmed that the eye was a loss and could potentially mean surgery. The surgery itself is going to be 375.00, and that does not include the aftercare he is going to need. So, my sister and I went to work, we put together a Facebook page and a gofundme account to raise the money. The links are below if you would like to donate or follow along with his progress and healing. 

     Then there is the snow. And there is a lot of it! We received over 30 inches of it from Tuesday into Wednesday. And there is another storm coming with possibly another foot of snow! I have yet to venture out into the vast land of white, simply because there is no place to go and the Mayor asked everyone to stay off the roads. We still have some snow to dig out of, and the drifts are piled up fairly high. I am at the point where Hawaii is looking really good at this point! New England is nice to visit, but in the winter it just sucks. So while I have been imprisoned in the house, I have taken to making small pouches for my crystals with left over yarn. I have several crystals that are my power healers, these crystals have a high vibration and if I need to bring them with me to crystal healing sessions I want them to be protected. So, I have been happily knitting away small pouches for these crystals! I will be posting pictures of these cute little pouches on the new Facebook page that I have set up for the blog. 


    So, all in all it has been far from dull around here. I know the weather is only temporary; all things are impermanent. I will be glad when spring is here, the time of renewal and rebirth. So for the time being I will be knitting and art journaling away the hours for now! Oh, and I am going to be doing a monthly blog post covering the stones and crystals associated with the month! Stay tuned for that starting in February!
