What a day. I had everything planned and organized and then Miles decided he was going to rearrange everything. He picked Christmas eve to have a growth spirt or whatever. He either cried or nursed since last night. He was a miserable little elf most of the time, except for his little 15 minute naps. He's only 15 days old so I'll cut him some slack. I got on here a couple times today and every time I got caught up and was ready to reply, got called away. By now there should be chapter headings. I'm not even sure what I wanted to reply.
Welllllll, most people's taste returns somewhat, even if it's not what it used to be, but then none of us are what we used to be. Glad you can accept your taste now and actually, you're probably saving a bundle by not trying to buy every new flavor of the week!
I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I'm sure your Mom will be glad to have you there. It's so hard to loose a parent. Even when you know it's coming, it's life changing. I hope you can find peace in his passing and know that my heart is with you for a safe trip home and that you and your Mom can find strength in each other.
Couldn't agree more! And thank you so much. We would have been even more ecstatic if Mile's wasn't so miserable today!
Gathering the vape stuff can be daunting, but after awhile you get pretty efficient and it won't take nearly as long. When it comes to packing Mike starts early so he can take a 3 months worth of vaping supplies for a 1 week trip. He's gotten much better, he only takes 1 vaping suitcase now...
You can drive 500 miles without a break? Whoa! After 200 miles I get out of the car and it take me a few tentative steps before my ankles cooperate enough that I don't fall flat on my face. Could be a real problem if I'm trying to get to the facilities...
That's pretty cool that you notice the behaviors of the birds. We tend to forget about nature when we're busy doing other things.
Good for you! You musta been a good boy!
Nothing like looking around and seeing how blessed we are, even in the midst of our own troubles. Glad you were there for your friend.
Hope you're able to get a good nights rest. And if not, just relive the HUGE side of swapping tales and the good times to keep you company. Might as well be happy as long as your eyes are open.
Cleaning out stuff is almost an art. It takes fortitude and determination and maybe a glass or 2 to ease the pain. Then all you need are the right size boxes to put it all back - and labels!! What a feeling of accomplishment.
That's a riot. Very sad, but still very funny! What's wrong with people these days, nobody laughs anymore! Everybody seems to be too busy dreaming up ways to be offended. Sheesh.
Good for you! You were "family" to that hospice patient - that's priceless.

Well, I certainly had my Christmas put in perspective for me with a phone call from a lady that I know in another state. I was driving home from work Christmas Eve when I received the call. I'm sharing this for myself as well as for anyone else who, like me, thought they were struggling. This lady is a double amputee, with no family but a husband in prison. She lives in a small 3 room apartment and just had all her clothes stolen from her by a woman who was supposed to be helping her by cleaning and washing her clothes. She lives on $799 a month. Bless her heart, she wasn't whining when she called me. She just related her story. I felt like a selfish brat after I thought about my little piddly complaints quite a few posts ago just before Christmas. The Creator DOES have a way of setting us straight sometimes, doesn't He?
At any rate, it was a peaceful day for me. I got up when I felt like it and sipped on Hazelnut coffee. Then me and the Breeze dog headed over to my brother's house and had a lovely dinner of ham, beef roast, rice dressing, and cornbread dressing with a HUGE side helping of swapping tall tales.I'd badly love to nap right now, but I KNOW if I do that now, I will not sleep tonight. Oh well....maybe I'll do some music cruising.

I got up this morning, got on the 'puter briefly, went to Mass (the homily was too long-- he wanted to make it extra good). Went over to the VA to sit with a hospice patient, and just got back home. He isn't doing very well-- I was told to call in the morning before heading back to town to sit with him again in the morning.
A good way to spend Christmas when no family around could have sent me into depressive thinking. C'ya'all. Happy holidays, and enjoy everything you have! Even life itself.

We woke up to a very heavy frost so we kinda had a white Christmas but it ended up a beautiful sun shiny day. Actually the first sunny day we have had in about 3 weeks so we really enjoyed it.
