This fall has brought many changes!

Some of the changes these past few months have been exciting for our family! For example, our household has increased in the number of pets. We now have an adopted kitten and a foster feral in addition to our tortoiseshell cat and toy poodle. You can read more about new additions here:

Some have been more stressful such as those involving my health. Over the past several months, I have experienced feminine issues. Turns out, I have fibroids and endrometrisis. Both of course cause fertility problems. They also cause tiredness, pain, nausea…. I’m taking progesterone to help regulate my cycles.

Finally, after three years of investing much of my life in it, I have decided to give up working on my young adult novel. Instead I’ll be focusing on this blog, posts about animal welfare, and religious articles. I’m giving myself a year to research pets and then plan to write a chapter book on this topic. My dream to be a novelist isn’t dead, just taking a different direction.

Thanks! Saturday was a date day for my husband and me. We enjoyed buying pastries and driving around neighborhoods looking for our dream home.

Good to read about your new furbabies. I am glad you got some answers about your fertility issues. I hope the progesterone helps.
