We managed to go get brunch yesterday. It was the only thing I managed.

I'm worried about my cat. She has an enlarged heart, and she's been coughing on and off for a little bit. She's also 17, so she's no spring chicken. She had some bloods done, and while they're mostly all normal, she's going for an echo and chest xray to check on her heart, but that's not for 2 months. I'm so worried about her :(

Aw poor baby. I hope her X-ray comes back negative. Two months seems like an excessive wait.

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I rang a few places, and none of them were any better. I'm on the cancellation list if someone cancels, so hopefully they get back to me soon.

I hope your cat is doing ok <3 that sounds really stressful having to wait so long for answers!

I made a cake with dark chocolate chips, It had a lid on it which is why it has a flat top.

[–] Lexam@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I made cookies yesterday, but I'm pretty sure I only got like half the flour needed because they sort of all spread out into a sheet of super thin crunchy cookie layer. It's not bad flavor wise, but it looks a little awful >.>

Looks delish!

I'm just about to heat up the grill and then prepare some food, and in the evening I'll make a cake. Nice sunny and warm day.
