Jondesu he/him Posted June 13, 2017 Posted June 13, 2017 I'm not sure if I feel like someone's driving a wedge into my brain, or if I just want someone to. It hurts so bad. The barometric pressure changes from the storms we're having may be responsible, but it's hard to be sure.

I've had at least two noticeable spikes in heart-rate and pulse, gotten from doing nothing but laying around. They both subsided to what I believe is a standard. This information is leading me to suspect strep throat.

If it's strep throat, that can be treated with antibiotics, and if it's not, irregular heartbeat is nothing to joke about. *hugs* I hope you feel better ASAP!

Silverblade5 he/him Posted June 14, 2017 Posted June 14, 2017 I seem to be mostly recovered. The only real problem anymore is my throat, which hurts like Braize when I cough, which is frequently. I sound like one of those people from those anti-smoking adds.

However, the package had never arrived. Because local FedEx is made of butts and cannot read addresses or street signs. 1

Update: I'm completely fine, now, except for when I cough or speak. Then there's pain. In other words, the pain only comes when I make noise with my mouth. This is leading me to think that the problem is with my larynx, instead of my throat. So yay, smaller chance of strep?
Kaymyth she/her Posted June 16, 2017 Posted June 16, 2017 Fabric update: I contacted the seller and explained the situation. They applied a credit in the amount of the fabric price (minus the shipping charges) to a reorder, and I have fabric on its way to the correct address. They are going to contact FedEx in an attempt to track down where the package actually went in an attempt to get it returned to them. I wish them the best of luck. I also got my corset kit this week (this uses different fabric; the linen is for my skirt), so I will probably be working on sewing a mock-up this weekend. 1

While I'm still coughing often, I've recovered to the point where I can actually hold a conversation.

He just adores me, and loves to jump in my lap and get attention from me and cuddle with me at night. He doesn't mind getting luvs from other people, but I'm the only one that he really seeks out for luvs. And now we can't find him. He's an indoor cat- we don't let him out, but (as best as we can tell) he snuck outside sometime Saturday Evening. We've had such a busy crazy weekend that we've barely been at home the past few days and it wasn't until this morning that we realized we hadn't seen Rugby in a while and started searching. We've been doing all the normal things you should do- searching for him, leaving food out, putting up fliers, calling the Humane Society and animal shelters, posting ads on Craigslist and Nextdoor and KSL and everything- but haven't found him yet. We talked to a few neighbors who saw/heard him slinking about and yowling on Saturday Night, but we haven't found anybody who has seen him since then. We found tufts of fur that are probably his nearby one of the places that he was seen, so he's probably been in at least one fight with another cat. He's a big cat and he hasn't been declawed or anything so I think he can hold his own against another cat and probably even most dogs, but like I said he's an indoor cat and doesn't know what he's doing out there. The worst was the neighbor who said they heard a cat yowling the other night- I'm sure that was Rugby, lost and alone and crying for help. It just breaks my heart. I'm so sad and worried for him that I just feel sick. I just want my buddy back safe and sound. I have an update to this story, but it didn't feel right to post it in this thread, so I posted it here instead.
Kaymyth she/her Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 Yay returned kitty! But not Returned kitty, because that would be weird. First shipment of fabric got located over the weekend. (Apparently one of the roommates of the new owner of the old house thought it was theirs and opened it. Like the Spanish Inquisition, 4 yards of linen fabric was not expected.) 3
Silverblade5 he/him Posted June 19, 2017 Posted June 19, 2017 (edited) Today was my first day for summer running. I ended up choking at least twice during the four miles. What should've taken 40 minutes took 60. Edited June 19, 2017 by Silverblade5

That's why philosophers argue that Endowment likes cats and why it is a sacred animal in many of Nalthian cultures. 3

Apparently I spoke too soon. It turns out that the cat we found wasn't our Rugby, but a different cat named Zombie. He could be Rugby's twin though, or well, maybe his dad, since Zombie is several years older than Rugby. The good news (if there is any) is that we located Zombie's proper owners and returned him. He was happy to be home. Now back to searching for my kitty. 2
Briar King Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Well rust... Cindy stalled out a few hrs and got up to 60 mph. Didn't think it was going to top 45. Going to hit right over me tomorrow looks like. Kinda think it could hit Cat 1 unless the water cools down now that it's dark.

Sunbird she/her Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 @Herowannabe I'm sorry your kitty is still missing, but I'm sure Zombie's people were glad to have him back. I hope you find Rugby soon. *hugs* 1
