BBQ

Article about gossip.

People at work getting seasonal crankiness. I'm not immune, although I do my best to stifle the symptoms. This is probably my first year not down with the goombah, which helps me. Everyone else has been variously ill. We're short staffed and long scheduled. With a midweek christmas, and a full schedule on the Eve as well. But at least our narcissist nurse is gone, gave her notice and left, to no one's dismay. I'd rather have no one than someone that can't be trusted. We shuffle around and get each other lunch breaks, and it all works out.

I really must put up the tree, for the sake of bright lights to cheer us through the grey days. We'll leave it up past Epiphany, sometimes a good week past, depending on how we feel.

Today we take the train up to Ogden, for BBQ, meet a friend for lunch. We remembered last night that today is our legal anniversary. Only took us 25 years to remember before the day passed. It's the least important anniversary, but the most practical.

Struggling to get "the right food in the right cat" as Dylan puts it. One medicated for Moby, the other for Eleanor who would prefer to just eat, then hork up, kibble. Most days, it's not a problem. Some days it's impossible. Cats, eh? Who can figger 'em?





Bon Hiver.

We do need light.

Daughter had two cats once..one needed soft food, the other biscuits and water..they both insisted on eating the others' food to annoy..it got a bit messy!

A few blinky lights in the grey nights.

Happy to see your comment on one of my posts I came here to explore and found this, to my delight! My husband's parents came from the Ukraine in the early fifties, via Germany, after the war when he was a baby. And now my youngest daughter has moved to S. Ca and found, to her delight, a vibrant Ukrainian community there. So, when I came here and saw this I thought of that saying that "there is no such thing as co-incidence." Love your Christmas tree 'forest' too.
