Anne is getting my cat some catnip for Christmas. Now I suppose I should get her cat something for Christmas too...
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm basically packed for tomorrow. Now there's a somewhat suspicious cat on my lap. He has the best cat sitters in the world catering to his every need over the next several days, but I still kinda wish I was in a position to have my family come to me. Eh, I like flying, and it's just five days.

Just like my last staycation, I'm getting sick. I'm gonna call my doctor this time because I don't want to end up in ER again. Stupid lungs taking their own vacation.
My friend who is home on hospice has had today dedicated to her by the City and County of San Francisco for her 40+ years of work as an advocate for children, child care, early education, and family support services. The proclamation has multiple Where As's and just made me cry to read the whole thing. Her family had early Christmas this last weekend and posted some pictures. At first look, she looks like the lady I knew but looking deeper, I can tell that her light is dimming.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Tommyrot, I suggest the hard catnip balls. Same reaction from the cat but less mess and they last longer.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Ah ha ha, just got a letter from my insurance plan that my therapist, as of Nov. 11, is no longer in their network.

Dana, your insurance plan gives crappy holiday gifts.
I just made my parents choose their Christmas gift (symphony tickets, they chose the concert) and with that my shopping is done!

Just like my last staycation, I'm getting sick.
I'm fighting a cold. Not okay, body!
I took extra vitamin C and used the neti pot and ate chocolate (that last part is courtesy of Tim, who 100% believes that if you feel an illness coming on, you should eat chocolate and it will prevent it; he never gets sick, so maybe he's right).
And now I'm going to bed, hoping to sleep it off.

I'm hoping that it may just be as a result of her office changing locations. I will text her tomorrow.

he may have a point, I mean, it works for dementors...
I am going crazy trying to get everything done. I have decided that my big take away lesson from Tai Chi so far is: don't push so hard. This holiday season has of course reinforced how hard it is for me to learn that one.
Also, unrelatedly, I got new glasses and I love them, but there may be a problem with the progressive lenses. I think the reading part may be overcorrected, but I think I should try them out for a few days to make sure before I bring them in to get them fixed.
