I have been noticing one of my old girl cats that I brought from Calif with me having mouth issues--hoping it would pass yet knowing in reality it would not I decided to trade my next doctor appointment with her and took her to the vets today. The cost was close to the same! Her poor little mouth was so infected so they gave her a couple of shots and at least she will feel better soon but no telling for how long. I just couldn't stand more pressure during these holidays and seeing her hurting was lots of pressure so now I feel much better----I paid for this one myself so I'm praying the rest will stay in good health for awhile!
The man who bought all those transmission parts (and still has half of them to pick up but due to poor weather we've been unable) called and asked if he could send me a Christmas card and a gift card for being so patient---I am thrilled because just this morning my zipper on my nice warm down coat broke so now I can get a new one! God works in strange ways!
Jaxson sent me a Christmas card and asked me to say hi to everyone and have a Merry Christmas! She is very busy with her grand baby but hopes to get to stop in here!
She sounds quite happy now..especially with a grand baby to spoil!
I will just be happy Jan 2nd.....whew, these holidays are difficult this year. I just keep trying to remember we are celebrating life! Course this weather is not helping---a blessing it is warm but so much rain! My poor road looks like a river!
It's strange to me that Christmas is almost a non-event to me. My son has been visiting but he flies out tomorrow....we dont have a tree up and we dont exchange gifts....minimal decorations around the house. I dont miss it at all....but it strikes me as strange that I feel this way. Growing up CHRISTMAS was a big deal.....but I just dont feel anything about it at this point. My husband grew up in a Japanese home so they had no Christmas tradition either and he doesnt miss it. He lived in NYC when he moved to this country and was familiar with the tree at Rockafeller Center and the stores with Christmas displays....but he didnt celebrate it.
I do hope that you all are able to either enjoy the day or at least get thru it with minimal sadness. Don't dwell on the ghosts of Christmas' Past.....its just a day.
Well said elston--as usual! My therapist from Hospice said the same thing--it's just another day! So many, to many, have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas. For me it has always been a time for family so that is what I miss. But tomorrow I will at least get to see a part of my family! I decided to feed my critters before I go to work which is way to early but I can feed them a bit more when I get home--their Christmas! I'd rather they have to much then not enough!
