Aw, Jeez - December


Okey dokey.

It’s now almost half-way through December, and I’m not feeling a heck of a lot better about this month than I was about November. The best I can say about it is that the garden’s all white –even after yesterday’s 50-degree rainfall – so I’m not staring out the window at it anymore thinking about all the things I need to get done before it snows. I tossed those lists, and now I’m working on “Things To Do First Thing Come Spring” lists.

But first I have to get through the lists of things that need to be done before January 1st

And now we’re into full moon week (Cold Moon) when things inevitably go not as well as one would like. The furry people are whacko, inanimate objects usually don’t do what I ask them to, and while we do now have a furnace, it’s not hooked up yet and so, essentially, no furnace. Which got old some time ago. And even getting it here was a fraught exercise.

I do have one freesia in bloom, and freesia smell quite wonderful. And this thing is living in my kitchen, after being brought in from its home, since spring, on the wart:

Unknown pretty plant from the Evil Store, last May



It’s acting like a fresh new plant – all on its own, I did nothing except bring it in, and occasionally remember to water it. 

Also, The Enforcer at Pleasant Lake Veterinary Clinic sent me this photo, that she took on Hallowe’en when the Dark Lady visited Lou (he’s the handsome one in the white fur suit, being held by one of his servants – that is, one of the highly trained veterinary staff at his castle):



So I’m mostly trying to concentrate on stuff like this. And looking forward to two weeks off, during which I hope I have to do nothing except read fiction. And nap. I’m tired.

Also, I ordered a holiday present for myself. It hasn’t arrived yet, and can’t come soon enough. It’s a tee-shirt that reads: Let’s assume I’m right. It’ll save time.

Once that comes, I expect all I’ll need to do is point at it and my world will fall into perfect order.

And if it doesn’t – Catman’s teaching me to growl.
