this was on christmas eve btw. so on halloween i was hospitalized with dehydration from covid, on thanksgiving i had to take zelda to the emergency vet for early GI stasis (she was fine with some water & greens, dw), and christmas eve i had to cancel plans with my family so i could stay home and make sure the silicone didn't cause a blockage. fuckinf wild
i would've taken her with me to my mom's place but it's a tiny apartment with 2 screaming toddlers, as well as a mold infestation (which is particularly severe in the only room i could've kept her in), so it wasn't really an option lol
