Today I re-published agian all the post from the past that I had left as draft. Do not know why, just I felt like doing it when I saw the post in draft menu. They looked so lonely, they are fragments of my past memories that I stupidly decided to ignore as if they never happened, but I finally understood that I left them here because I wanted to remember them. Without past there is no present. They were my foodsteps to arrive to this day and I have duty to keep them alive so they could make a path to tomorrow.

The week with my family went so fast. However, I truly appreciate their visit and am full of positive energy again.

After their leaving, I took again the embroidery work, and it happened....

I was working with new flower embroidery, and Aitor arrived from work. He asked me to try on new clothes which delivered in the morning, to see how it fit me. After some minutes, I realized that I left the needles and threads on the desk, and when I came back Mandú and Dubu was playing with them, and there was one needle missing.

I hoped to find it on the floor but wasn't so lucky... although we were not sure that Mandú ate it, we tried to contact the vet to consult what to do, and he was not available. We found some info on Internet that people say we must give Mandú white asparragoes, which could protect his stomach from the needle until we bring him to the vet the next morning.

So, I tortured the poor cat feeding the whole bottle of white asparragoes (of course he hated it) hoping that he did not swallow the needle, and today morning, as soon as the vet opened the clinic I made a call. He sent me to the another clinic near Barceloneta market to take a X-ray and see if he really ate the needle.

And.. yes, he did it. It was inside his stomach, but fortunately did not go further thanks to the asparragoes fibres which surrounded it and hold it still. They recommended me a small operation to take it off, and after a while thinking what to do, I decided to go with it. They took Mandú and I came back, and finished the embroidery waiting for the news.

Finally, the vet sent me a message that everything went well and Mandú is taking a rest, and I could pick him up at 19:00 pm.

Thanks world! Although it costs me a lot of money, at least I am happy to know that my cat is now safe.

So, this is the embroidery that costs me 600 euros.

I am so existed. In 2 hours, my mom and brother will arrive to Barcelona.

It has been 2 years since I saw her for the last time (last year I could only invite my little brother who never had been to Spain and he was having a hard time), I could not sleep at all last night.

It will be a great 8 days with them, it is a pity that my Aita (my stepfather who raised us) could not come together this time.

I am baking a welcoming pound cake since both of them really like my baking, despite of the fact that I am really bad at. However, baking cakes for my beloved family always makes me so happy and full of gratitude, so hopefully it comes out okay.

It looks that also Mandú (my 1st cat) is exited, too. He is with me all the morning, watching how I prepare for my family's visiting.
