Monday Musings
Just a few random musings for the day. . . .
I woke in a good mood, have been humming "Deck the Halls" all day. Must have been the vodka I had yesterday. Heh. Too rainy to walk to work, but I had a fabulous walk home, just about a power walk. Okay, I hurt now. LOL. Glutes and feet. Could go for a massage by a registered therapist, though I imagine it would be painful. Guess I'll settle for more vodka and my heating pad. :-D
By the way, I finally managed to get rid of that $5 I found yesterday. The Salvation Army kettle at the LCBO was being staffed by two people this afternoon, so I swung past and dropped in the bill. Whew. Done.
I'm in the midst of holiday cards to a number of participants on a couple of cat groups. Fortunately there aren't too many, about 16, so mailing costs are doable. Okay, well, I don't pay for postage most of the time anyway, thanks to Mom's hubby. Thanks, H.! A couple of members are overseas, one in the UK and one in Israel, but most others are in the US and Canada. Did you know the mailing date for overseas cards is December 1st? Yeah, tomorrow.
Oh, and while I'm on the holiday topic, I stumbled across a cute blog background site, as you can see. They have lovely holiday backgrounds, but not many that coordinate with the photos I use for headers.
I do this every year: Get excited about the holidays, feel a bit Christmassy, want to put up a tree. . .then the closer we get to the 24th and 25th, the worse I feel. By the time the 24th rolls around, I'm ready to sleep my way through it all. Ah, well. The only thing worse than being alone--truly alone--for the holidays is being with someone who doesn't want you, or being around people you don't want to spend time with. Having experienced both, I'll take my solitude, thanks. Besides, there's always the vodka--lol. And the cats, of course. They're actually pretty good company and have fun with the gift wrap. Free entertainment.
That's about it. . . I have dishes to do, cats to cater to--you know the drill.
