MonsterMustDie slept in this morning until around 9:00AM, which was good.

Ellie Cat seems to be feeling a lot better today and she's eating and drinking again.

MonsterMustDie has lost his car key again. This is the last key he had and he refuses to order a new key for his car. I am begging him to at least order one today so he can eventually have a spare key again but he refuses to do it. This kind of behavior drives me crazy.

Christmas 2025

Merry Christmas.
Nothing happening today.
Zoom meeting tonight with Brian and Laura.
I also had a long conversation with Cindi tonight after our Zoom. It was a very good catch-up.

We were kinda worried about Ellie Cat today. She started the day with vomiting several times in the morning. Then she had no desire to eat anything and just stayed curled up sleeping the rest of the day. She is getting quite old and I believe she has teeth problems again. I went online and made a veterinarian appointment for her as soon as possible, which will be Tuesday morning.

No plans today.
I am feeling a tiny bit achy in the bones today, mostly my left shin and right elbow, which I assume is a mild effect of the Zometa treatment on December 3.

Didn't walk today. I'm feeling a bit stabby-achy and I have not worked up the courage to take anything for fear that it will conflict with the Zometa treatment. This is probably an unnecessary fear since my last blood labs showed no compromised kidney function, which appears to be the main concern with that.

Sunday

Sandy phoned during lunch and told me that they got my Halloween card to them in the mail yesterday. The postal service is still completely dysfunctional in Georgia.

We had the first Zoom in a long time with Rick and Rachael. MonsterMustDie showed them his assemblage art and his latest craft finds. They talked about their winter garden and plans for next year's planting. They got some contaminated wildflower seed last year that had a lot of horsetail seed in it and they decided to mow everything down before it bloomed and went to seed. They also have a wildlife cam in their yard that has shown them a great variety of creatures in their yard including bobcats, eagles, hawks, owls, racoons and even two opossums.

I am thinking about Winter Solstice this coming Sunday and our lack of plans for this weekend and Christmas day.
It makes me sad in a way that feels like I am wasting my life when I could be enjoying it and hosting people at home.

Thursday

Our living room and dining table are now decorated for the Winter holidays.
The electrical company shut off our power today for unpaid bills. I got home at 10:30AM from an errand and found the house dark. Then I phoned and got the bad news. MonsterMustDie paid the bill over the phone when he got home from work and the power was restored by 2:30PM.

The dinner plans tonight changed when Cousins Lobster food truck cancelled. Karen and Bob invited us over for dinner at their house instead. We had home made latkas and beef ribs.

Wednesday

I have a strong desire for a Christmas tree. I couldn't find any small trees this late in the season here - only large, completely unaffordable trees that were not so pretty, anyway, so I bought a small fresh wreath and an evergreen swag at Soviero's nursery - much less expensive than a single tree would have been. Then I swung by Home Depot to pick up 2 strands of battery powered string lights and some AA batteries (it turns out I already had a lot at home but can anyone have too many AA's?). MonsterMustDie got the swag mounted on the fireplace mantle and I plan to use the wreath as a table top arrangement. They smell wonderful and the tiny lights still create a bit of the same ambiance. Candles would be great too but I'm afraid of them now. I wish a doctor would tell me about some non-harmful candles I can use. I still have a lot of cancer PTSD to work past.

I was extra tired this morning when I woke up. I stayed in bed a while trying to go back to sleep. I finally got up around 7:15AM after MonsterMustDie had gone to work. I walked down to put a last bit of trash in the bin for pickup this morning and saw that he had put dead holiday lights in it. I've been struggling to convince him not to put electronics in the regular trash, where he wants to put everything. He also put the styrofoam I had in a separate bag in the recycle bin, which I did take back out so I can run it to the foam recycling location at the library later.

I did get my hair cut this afternoon. I finally decided it was too much to have to wear a hat or hairband constantly and the bangs were too long down my face not to pull my hair back. I figured that I'd rather not wear a hat everywhere.

This is turning out to be another exceptionally boring day, too cold to walk or work outside and no one around.
Once again, the only time I got outside the house all day was to go to Harris Teeter for a few extra things.

Very this morning. MonsterMustDie slept until 9:00 AM. I got up at 8:00 AM.
This is turning out to be an exceptionally boring day, too cold to walk or work outside and no one around.
I ended the day driving to Harris Teeter to pick up my prescription shampoo. While I was there, I also bought some kefir and spice tea that looked good to me. That was the only time I got out of the house today.
