Sorry for being so quiet.  Usual disclaimer about work consuming my life applies, but that's nothing new.  The big thing thath as come up in the last week has been Jazz getting sick.  Jazz is the 14 year old tabby girl that belongs to my girlfriend.  You've seen at least one picture of Jazz in Yawn Apex.

The full details can be found in this entry in my LiveJournal.  The short story is that Jazz lost 4 of the 11 pounds she was, bringing her to 7 pounds and change.  We took her to the vet, had blood work and a urinalysis done, and found out she's sick with Chronic Renal Failure, a disease that is ultimately terminal but can be treated in such a way that she may have months or even years with us still.

It's a lot of work and the prospect of losing our little girl takes a lot out of me.  Paired with my job I simply haven't had very much time to do any photography or even be online.

Sorry for the dump-and-run, but I have to go get her next round of food ready.  I hope everyone's enjoying spring!
