Oh mannnnnn I'm so glad he's okay! Talk about the universe keeping you humble - for a while, any time I made real progress paying down my debt or saving, one of my cats would get super sick with something chronic and I'd run up a huge tab getting it sorted.
Like, 110% worth it, I will have a balance on my credit cards for however long it takes to keep my cats healthy and happy! And also, it makes monetary planning challenging. :) Things have been going well lately (knock wood), but every time Bishop throws up I have to work on not spiraling into anxiety (it's one of the symptoms of a flare of her irritable bowel issues, and you can never tell how bad that will be - so of course my brain immediately goes to the worst possible case scenario).
Anyway. tl;dr: I'm so glad he's okay! And solidarity on the stress/catastrophizing.

I wish that none of us had to deal with these problems, but it helps to know I'm not alone. 💞
