#but for now I have 3 projects to do and a GDC analysis to write so

So many things have happened since August that I feel I owe an explanation for essentially disappearing (mostly). So basically university resumed for me but outside of my usual work/university is that my sister, Aio, is going through cancer treatment. It was found that she has a cancerous tumor in her chest that none of the doctors really understand why as it doesn’t run in our family and her age is rather young. Nonetheless, they want to take preventive measures so it doesn’t spread. Due to my own schedule, our family decided it would be better for her to return to our family home in AZ to have more care there where our family and family friends could help care for driving to and from hospitals and if she needs anything after chemotherapy. The plan is 6 months she will be back so estimating by Spring/Summer after the surgery for removal.

Essentially it means, I’m here up north by myself with the animals which means the time we usually split for chores etc is all mine which means I have way lesser time to do the things I usually do. It’s been a bit since that decision and it’s still very much hectic on my side but it’s easing up as I only have 3 weeks of university left before winter breaks.

The cancer part is a big scare for my family because our dad passed away from lung cancer (Aio was diagnosed with breast cancer) so…chemotherapy is not something we’re unfamiliar with but it is still hard to see/deal with.

On a different note, I never updated on Myla the little corgi that was from an abusive household. (The one in my pinned message)

Myla was officially adopted by her foster mom! So Myla and Pretzel the corgi are now sisters AND the vets said they believe Myla can keep her leg. So after 8 weeks of being in a cast, cone, and somewhat crate rest, Myla is living her best life. Her leg is still healing, but she’s been microchipped and spayed, and been playing with her sisfur. Donations for her GoFundMe are still being used for her vet visits as the vets are still monitoring her health and the repercussions of the abuse she received but thank you everyone again for keeping her in your prayers/thought and/or sharing/donating!

I’m going to remove the pinned message now and pin this for a bit as you are all still welcome to donate if you’d like! GoFundMe
