Decadently lazy. It's Christmas vacay!
What a nice sentiment, Nic. Thank you. Our famiy still copes with loss this time of year, which makes things difficult some days, but we've learned to stay open to the light and love that surrounds us. Which is, after all, what the season is all about.
Peace to all of you out there in Lush Land.
I am worried about our little kitty.
Thank you, Tonya and Curves, for getting the sludge flowing in Big B this morning.
I am diggin the fact that Terrence like Sara's mini-marshmallows.
Jeff Jr's blood work came back, and we are taking him to the vet to get a drip for the day. He is better, but is still feeling pretty puny. Gave him 4 does of medicine, into his mouth, this morning, with LJ setting the doses and me squirting the meds into his mouth. Poor little guy.
A cuppa, please.
We took Jeff Jr to the ER tonight - it was just too worrying to wait til morning. He is resting comfortably and doing better. Layla and I are giving him lots of kitty love.
A nightcap, please. Any Maker's Mark left? Layla will have a Death's Door gin (a real gin! With a cool story!), on the rocks.
Fling some drinks in Laura and Ping's direction. From me and Layla and JJ. Feel free to dance topless anyway, Laura. You too Ping.
The Possession of Hannah Rose. Perfectly competent horror movie, not particularly memorable. Really cool sound design - they use sound well, and not just for shocks.
Glad you are fine, Jen, and Sara, sorry you are not.
Hey, Alan.
Bill, SO sorry you had to put down a beloved pet yesterday. My condolences. That had to be hard. At least you know she is no longer in pain or discomfort.
Kitty (his name is Jeff Jr, my daughter named him after me) is back home. No clear prognosis. He is quarantined from the other cats so we can track how much he is eating/drinking/peeing. Layla and I will nurse him tonight, but there is a chance he goes to the pet ER tomorrow morning. We will have blood test results tomorrow morning too, so hopefully we will know more then.
Burrbin. It has been a long day.
A soccer Mom Kia Sedona mini-van. I gotta be honest, I love this car.
Hi Tonya! Thanks for the update. We miss you.
If you have Netflix, I highly recommend Springsteen on Broadway. Yeah, I am biased, I am a huge Springsteen fan, but it is entertaining and frequently moving. It's more talking than music, though there is plenty of both. I really like how he acknowledges that being a rock star is a magic trick, and a lot of it involves reinventing yourself and grooming an image to present to the public. He lets down a little of the mask during the show.
Watched it while wrapping presents with Layla. It was a fun evening.
Köffêē please.
A friend of mine became a father last night
When he spoke, in his voice I could hear the light
Of the skies and the rivers, the timber wolf in the pine
And that great jukebox out on route 39
- Bruce Springsteen
Geez, Gil, does anyone else pull the weight for all these holiday gatherings, or do they just leave it to you?
Got woken up by an Amber alert on my phone at fuck o'clock in the morning. If that weren't bad enough, my Dad's went off too, and he couldn't figure how to turn his off, and by the time I had his deactivated I was awake enough so I couldn't get back to sleep.
I hope Tonya is okay. I miss her around here too.
Christmas shopping, Christmas decorations, and Christmas logistics are all taken care of. We can coast into Christmas Eve fairly easily now. Supper will be our traditional feast - Mexican food- because I can make it all ahead of time, and just heat it all up on the big day. I am exhausted by midday on Christmas.
Thanks for the hot sludge, Bill and Curves.
She is proud and unapologetic about her sexuality and everything else in her life.
I am enjoying a lazy morning with Layla and all the cats. This time of year work slows to a crawl. Expect to see me wasting all sorts of time on the Forums.
Good morning all.
Grace's story is, indeed, a great read.
Christmas shopping is, I think, officially done (except for treats for the cats and the hampster) (and stocking stuffers, which is mostly candy I have to buy at the last minute or I will eat all of them). Layla and I will do a wrap-a-thon this weekend to get everything under the tree. The cats will be amused.
Should be a chill weekend, with Christmas chores done for the most part.
Shh! Don't tell Layla, but I am getting her a ____ and a ____.
Köffee please.
. He is eating on his own now, and electrolytes and kidney values are better. The test will be this evening when they remove his catheter (sorry if that's TMI). We are all going to visit him today.
I’ll drink alone in the corner
