I have several jobs and in the past 28 days, I had one day off. Tonight? I'm enjoying the beginning of a four day weekend as I do not have to be back at any job until Tuesday morning.
I intend on doing as little as possible this four days with exception of I get to finally clean my house, I'm going to give the dogs an extra amount of play time outside as they have "suffered" with short play times in the past month, (they've been so good about it, too), I'm going to change over the aquarium from gravel to sand, (wish me luck there), and on Sunday, I'm going to go help feed the homeless.
Other than that, I plan to sit in my house, in my pajamas and do absolutely NOTHING constructive.
I don't think we're getting a white Christmas here. Bummer. I really wanted one after living on the surface of the sun known as South Florida for the past 6 years.
In other news, I think my boy dog stepped wrong coming down the stairs because he's been periodically whining and holding his paw up. I have felt around, squeezed and he doesn't wince in pain but every so often, out of the blue, he whines.
The last time anything like this happened was when I came home from work one day, last spring it was, and the girl dog jumped up on me, as she always does, and in her excitement, somehow stepped wrong or landed wrong or something went wrong.
She cried and whined and carried on, holding up her paw, crying whenever she had to put weight on it, I had to carry her down the steps outside, it was all very dramatic.
The very next morning I took her to the vet and $300 later, it was discovered that nothing was broken, nothing was sprained, nothing was torn, she just stepped wrong and that in a few days, things would be ok, here's a couple of pain pills for her.
Went home, gave her a pain pill, watched her like a hawk, and I swear to you, from the time we got home from the vet, she didn't whine and cry anymore.
Drama.
Queen!
Of course I care about my dogs and want them to be ok but I'm going to see how this progresses over the night and tomorrow. If he's still whining by Monday, I'm taking him in. I'm just not in to spending another $300 for someone to tell me what I figured was the case.
I'm sure he's fine. He was perfectly fine mere minutes before that, bounding up and down the stairs...so he clearly stepped wrong and things should be fine.
Helping my wife get things ready for our Christmas Eve dinner...dusting...washing...running the sweeper.We celebrate on the Eve pass out presents with the family so the little ones can stay home on Christmas day and play with their new toys.
I was HOPING it would snow Thursday night, (last night), and when it didn't, I was sure that meant there would be no white Christmas.
Because I'm off for four days, I stayed up reallllllly late. I didn't go to bed till 4 in the morning. I let the dogs out at 2am and there still was no snow.
I do not know why I thought there would be snow, I don't watch the weather on the news, I didn't see any indication that there would be snow in the forecast on my computer task bar...but I was just sure there would be snow Thursday night. I don't know how or why....I just "knew" it.
But it didn't come.
Except...when I woke up this morning at 11am?
SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Huzzah! White Christmas after all!
(And hey, I was only off by a few hours! ::strut: )

Getting ready for 4 pm Mass (it gets jammed, so we need to get there an hour early), then off to my sister in laws house for Christmas dinner and some partying!
Merry Christmas!
