Litsy

Several of you have asked me about Zeke and how he is doing. Lots has happened this week, and the news could be better…

Zeke had an ultrasound on Wednesday. The results came back today. No large tumors, which is good news. However, he shows signs of chronic pancreatitis or inflammatory bowel. The most concerning are his lymph nodes around the stomach and intestine. They are enlarged—these could be related to his GI issues or ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ early signs of cancer. I now have to set up a consultation with an internal medicine specialist and discuss either a more focused ultrasound and/or an endoscopic biopsy of the lymph nodes and possibly the intestine. Everyone place that offers this that works with my vet is a drive. But, we‘ll get through this. Honestly, I‘m tired and stressed and had to break down and cry all Tuesday night. It‘s a lot, but it could be worse. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 6d

Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ I‘m still processing this latest development. But, I know we‘re one step closer to finding out a solid diagnosis. Please continue sending special thoughts for Zeke. He‘s a trooper! #catsoflitsy #Zeke #notbookrelated #nbr 6d

BooksandCoffee4Me Oh, I‘m so sorry! He‘s beauty and I will pray for him. 6d

Since my library system‘s reopening, I‘ve been working nonstop for a variety of reasons, cutting into my reading and Litsy time.

But...hard work pays off. My IRL friends do not know this yet, but in January I will be the branch manager of the largest satellite branch in my library system. Shorter commute. Betterish hours. I‘ve been a branch manager for my system before, but not on this level, so definitely more responsibility. I‘m excited! #nbr

Librarybelle @mrp27 My library system is now open for everything except in person programming, though there are library systems nearby only open for curbside pickup for now. We‘re also being extra cautious, asking those browsing to place anything touched but not borrowed into a bin for in house quarantine. We‘ll be back to normal someday! 4y

#NBR but who doesn‘t love a baby? Litsy fam, meet my nephew Cooper. I watched him come into this world on Nov 27th at 6:55 am. It‘s amazing how I went from exhausted to exhilarated once you hear “Okay, she‘s ready and it‘s time”. 7lbs 10oz and 20.5 inches of pure cuteness. Can‘t wait to watch this little man grow up and spoil him

The Swap: A Nicole Graves Mystery | Nancy Boyarsky

I love doing swaps and I have loved everything I have ever received but this right here is the one thing I have used most. It was my very first swap from the owl crate FB group. I don‘t drink coffee but I do HC and Cider in the winter and every winter I use this reusable cup cozy. Going on 4 years now. My partners sister made it for her Etsy shop. No idea is the shop is still in business but it says Rikkeldy lll
