Cat and General Update + Commissions/Donations
a year ago
So when life gives you lemons...and keeps giving you lemons...and more lemons.... You'd think you could set up shop but really all you want is less freaking lemons tbh because no one wants the lemons :((
That's my TLDR of what's happening but here is the overall update
Kitty Update:
Her liver is not getting any better, her levels are still rather bad and while my wife was able to see her yesterday she'd gotten more jaundiced and whobbly than ever. They also say that her pancreas is enlarged :( She's still not eating though she did eat a lickytreat my wife brought with her she's not really eating anything else. Now they want to put in a feeding tube, continue a round of antibiotics and MAYBE send her home tomorrow with the tube still in for us to monitor her and feed her using the tube (mostly to save on costs) if her levels even out. They believe she can make a recovery within a weeks time but of course each night she has to be there is 150 euro not to mention medicine costs, feeding tube etc. We've managed to raise some money from commissions (we currently have 380 euro) and got a bit of money from my brother in law BUT we're not sure if it's going to be enough to cover it plus this isn't all we're dealing with.....
General Everything Else Update: (Mildly Venting, TLDR Our lights might get cut and my FIL is a dick)
We still have a fine, that was the bill, a fine that was due to a random law change a month after I arrived that is due on the 12th of this month for 1k euro. We have given 550 to my FIL toward the fine and the rest kinda went to the first vet visit for the kitty as well as food/pet expenses for the month. (FIL originally said to send it to him and he would cover the rest of the fine and we could pay him back) My FIL has decided he would use the fine money toward his bills and is giving us a massively hard time about the fact that we did not send him the rest of the money, that we have not paid all his bills, that we decided to take our cat to the vet and it is costing money, and I guess just in general that we exist in the house and are not making ourself and our bank accounts subservient to him. Recently he switched electricity providers due to cost and after a month with the new provider the old one sent a bill for 475 euro(the last two months of service I assume) that is due in a few days. I don't know how electricity works in Italy BUT my father in law is now saying that if we do not pay that 475 in a few days they will communicate with the new provider and our lights will be cut off. We obviously do not have that right now considering our cat is at the vet, the fine needs to be paid by the 12th and just generally we have 380 at the time of drafting this journal. Then we add on top of that, their two cats constantly get out because they just allow them and don't bother watching them. They are unvaccinated and don't have any type of medicine to fight off ticks etc. This morning my wife found what we believe to be a tick crawling on her graphics tablet. So this of course makes her go "we need to do something about this" because ticks = bad. We have some medicine but not enough foreveryone so that's another 40 euro yet her dad not only wants to blame the VET OFFICE for the presence of the tick but doesn't seem to think it's a big deal at all and that we should not bother buying meds. He just generally doesn't seem toeven think we should have taken our cat to the vet even though she was DYING.
Since we got here we've been paying AT LEAST half of the bills and all of the food for the whole house as well as all the pet supplies for all the cats including their two cats but my FIL is convinced we do nothing and expects more and more and tbh it's got us at our limit. (Just to paint the picture of why the above is so freaking annoying)
I do want to throw out that I'm working as fast as I can but we MAY end up being without lights? I don't know? We're still working toward our kitty and this fine but I'm only going to give my FIL another 500 euro toward it and nothing more. Then we're going to be working to move out as soon as possible.
I will basically have commissions open (Up to like 15 at any given time because I'm not interested in getting too buried ;u;) until we get this all figured out or until I manage to find a job since I'm trying to get us out of here as soon as possible. My wife also has commission open. I may be doing a stream soon to sort of take some PWYW commissions if it looks like I'll have lights/internet still. Also IDK if anyone would need this but if you need someone to make some 3D assets or something for you I also can do that just lmk you're interested.
Lastly we're also opening donations because I really don't want to take on too much commission-wise. If you make a donation and would like a sketch or something in return I'm A-okay with that just keep in mind the wait might be a good bit on donation sketches since I'm not counting them as "commissions".
EDIT: So hfjsjf my FIL managed to set up an “impossible” payment plan for the lights so we’re good on that front. Thanks to commissions and a few donations we may have enough for most of what we need to take care of. We just need to come up with the remaining 500 for the fine.
