Boo is sick.
This morning, I went to pet a sleeping Boo-kitty and he meowed (not a talky cat, I wondered what was up). He then kept meowing, as if in slight pain, and moved toward the door. I filled with worry and went to tell Ian. We watched his behavior for awhile. Then he began to drool...and not clear, watery drool, but more of a discolored gel. This scared me enough to call credit card companies to see if I could get a raise in my credit. I could not. I took him to the vet anyway. Ian came with and I'm glad he did. They did some blood work on poor Boo kitty and $160 later(luckily the card lets me go over my limit), I'm waiting for the results. I think it's a mouth/dental thing, which will cost about $480. If it's not that, it's something more along the lines of he ate something he shouldn't have, which is disturbing...as I have no idea what it could be. He seems to be sensitive about his mouth though, so I think it's the former. He also seemed to be nauseous, as his meowing would come in waves. This is EXACTLY what I did not need right now, but it has to be done. The poor baby is actually LETTING me take care of him. He had trouble eating his dry food, so I mixed tuna with some milk and mushed it up. He ate all of it and is now sleeping at home.
I write all of this out, because I worry.

After we got home, Ian went and looked for jobs.
It felt like our family was in trouble, so we came together. Even Jason, who took us out for lunch. Barring the worry and my poor baby feeling sick, it's been a good day of togetherness.

I need, that job.
