Hello!
I hope you had a great Christmas!
We had a very relaxing Christmas day! I think I gained a few pounds. Well, I know I gained a few pounds. Friends and family indulged us with candy, cookies, not to mention the pie that I already had prepared. Dinner was a pan of lasagna that held its own for 3 days!
Christmas was a windy, wet and cold day. It was good to be inside. It was wonderfully quiet. At the same time I missed my family (my son’s families, my grand-children, my deceased parents, and especially my sister and nieces).
Spike, our boxer, ended up off his kibble. His toe swelled up. He chewed his toenail off last night, yes, down to skin level. Today he went to the vet. He had not been weighed in many years. I guessed him at 90 pounds. He looked thin this morning, dehydrated, even his collar was hanging loose. They sure drop weight quickly. He weighed in at 89.8 pounds! Besides that astonishment (size-wise), the doctor put him on a pain med and antibiotics, and gave us well-wishes as we went out the door. Perhaps now I can sleep a bit better. How and why do we allow ourselves to love our animals as much as we do? It scares me, it truly does.
I had to replace my CPU, translating to no new camera. I did a back up as my old machine slowed down. It sounded like a barber’s electric razor. As I sat at my desk Christmas Eve morning I was almost startled out of my seat by the racket of the dying machine. The new CPU is working and the files are slowly being restored. Life is good.
I would love to hear some of your Christmas stories and adventures!
And, I hope sunshine returned to you as well! It is a beautiful day after Christmas here!
God bless.
