The Last of Christmas Present(s)
My days are sometimes a blur. I arrived home around 7:30 last night, and was in bed by 9:30. Work saps so much out of me right now. I’m hoping it will be better after the paracentesis. Still waiting for the doctor’s office to call me back on that one.
Last night The Socialist opened his Christmas packages from my sisters. The Younger got him a rather elegant chess/backgammon/checkers set, made of glass with crystal pieces. We’ll be keeping that well out of the Grey Menace’s way! The Elder Sister got him a scarf (being a Californian, he’d never owned one before and was clueless about how to wrap it around his neck!), a sweater and a knit jacket. He seemed pleased with his take, and I’m hoping he remembers to write the sisters and thank them.
The Socialist brought an incredible cat-tower back with him from California. It belonged to his grandparent’s cat, who is now 20 years old an no longer shows an interest in it. It goes floor to ceiling, with two perches and a “crow’s nest” at the top. Kitten, of course, was the first to do any serious exploring on it. She’s less than graceful making her way up and down, and she hasn’t figured out the crow’s nest yet. It’s only a matter of time. Cattitude checked it out, but probably didn’t want to be caught playing on it, so simply settled in at the base with a catnip sock. Poor clueless O’Beast hasn’t quite figured it out yet.
I failed to get a good night’s sleep again last night. I’m hoping that tonight I’ll finally be exhausted enough to sleep no matter what.
Crap. Not worth making a new entry over, but they can’t tap me until Monday. Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn ……..
Hope you can find a spot to keep it away from the Grey Menance! Good Luck. Maybe the new cat post will distract her.
Hope you hear from the doctor’s office soon!
Wow. That sounds like cat heaven. 🙂
I hope you do sleep tonight.
Sorry, you feel so uncomfortable with the fluid 🙁 Seems too long to have to wait to have the fluid removed.
Sleep well tonight.
Hugs
