9555- Saturday

Got my allergy shots – down to only needing them every other week, now!

Still feeling yucky – took a nap today from 3-6 pm, and my crown feels a little loose. Maybe an infection under there is messing with me? Or maybe it’s the big dose of meds today.

In-laws came over, and we had tasty soup and sammiches. I’m still not eating much, but can certainly enjoy what I am eating.

After eats, we finally finished hanging the ornaments on the tree. All that is left now is to set up the train… and maybe a few fun bits of landscape. The green beaded string didn’t show up too well on the tree this year, so we strung our holiday cards over the living room window, and it looks sharp. I think we may do this in years to come.

The in-laws headed home a little while ago – they stopped out front of our house with the engine running, and called inside to let us know that Chris lost an earring – while we were looking for it, BHK heard yelling on the phone – it turns out a pedestrian walked up to the truck, opened the door, and then took off when Larry yelled at him.

Chris and Larry went home, but BHK got the guys description and called the police. I suspect it was a drunk looking for a ride – that’s still not the sort of thing you want to take place in your front yard. We talked to the sheriff, and they sent prowl cars around, but he didn’t turn up.

[EDIT – Later that evening, just up the street (about 5 blocks closer to the bay) –

"Dep. Daniel Deakins investigated a burglary to Nice and Fleazy Antiques on Bay Ave in North Beach on December 19 at 3:27 a.m. The unknown suspect(s) cause $1125 in damage. The business owner is conducting an inventory to determine exactly what was taken. Inquires regarding this burglary should be directed to Lt. Steven R. Jones at 410-535-1600 ext. 2462."


I wonder if it was the same guy?]

 

Still fatigued. If this doesn’t let up soon, I’m calling the doc to see what can be done.

9554 – Friday

Holiday party – won $100 (2x $50 gift cards) –  Wheel of fortune // Hangman is our friend! We did poorly on "guess the person in the baby pictures" part of things, but that’s ok by me. I was just happy to have a midday meet with BHK. 🙂

Introduced her around to folks – most had met her last year – I think Peter was the only new face in the crowd.

After the party, I had to go back to work for a couple of hours, and then we were free to go!

I’m not tip-top, so we headed home, and crashed out early – 9:30 bedtime!

Until later, dear journal.

9553 – Thursday

Thursday…just about done watching the first season of  Dexter. It’s interesting, but I think the sister should’ve worked out the deal, long ago, no matter how well trained he might be, or her lack of curiosity.

Feeling a bit fatigued lately, but getting there. I need to send my brother a card or something, congratulating him on being a father, I guess. Somehow, I’m not feeling too festive about it. Ah well – I don’t even know if the little girl will carry his last name or not. Momster is elated about having a grandchild under any circumstances, which is a good attitude, I think. The baby is healthy and happy, as far as I know – can’t ask for much more than that!

Got our first holiday prezzies – Oranges and other citrus from folks in Florida, and an amazon box from Kev. BHK made sure that I did’nt see the invoice slip – He sent his gift wrapped, I neglected to put amazon wrap on the stuff we sent him – I hope my stuff makes it to Cuba in a timely way.

Tomorrow is the holiday party at the office – we’ll see how the terrible twosome of BHK and Scotto do at party games for gift card winnings!

9552 – Wednesday – Midweek

wednesday -what did we do today, aside from work, eat and now head off to sleep?? not a lot – just relaxed and snoozed by the tv with christmas specials going, and that is just fine by me.

BHK made some tasty Broccoli-cheese soup, and veggie taquitos, and it was scarfed down with great gusto.

In More interesting news – (via mental floss)

Ernest is a 15-year-old cat who lives at a shelter in Godshill on the Isle of Wight. He suffers from entropion, a condition where the eyelids roll inward and cause inflammation. Surgery might correct the condition, but veterinarians were concerned about how such an old cat would react to an anesthetic. The solution? Contact lenses! The lenses protect Ernest’s eyes from his eyelids. Before, he had trouble seeing where he was going, but now has a new lease on life, according to shelter workers.

9550 – Monday – The IDES OF DECEMBER!

BHK spent the day polishing off our shopping, I think we’re about done!

We hit Thursday’s after work – food was a bit on the weak side – probably will take some time before going back.

Came home and mostly caught up with chores – I played a smidgen of fallout 3, folded the whites, while BHK got the xmas stragglers online.

Updside of cool weather, the kitties extra snugglesome.

We still haven’t finished putting up the tree – lights are on, but ornaments and garland are still in boxes. Likely to happen next weekend, or during the week if there is a slow patch. I need to put together the orange juice car, too – and move pyecam downstairs for kitty/christmas pov video.
