A mixed up month of too-hot and too-cold, snow and stifling heat, and also the clear, clean end of summer.

There was the true joy of Gretchen and Brad's wedding and the gathering of the people that I knew of the Horde. There was the great fun and good amount of work that was Fezzik's 12th birthday party. The baby seems to be doing just fine in its aquatic environment and I'm actually feeling a bit better and more settled in my pregnancy.

That was mixed with Cera's kitten getting sick and finding out that Fezzik is out of remission and may only have a few more months, so it was very likely his last birthday party. Though we could still throw him parties, and he seems to be responding well to what chemo we can give him.

But it was a time of trying to deal with life and death, joy and sorrow all intermixed.
