RTT… on Wednesday!
- Our holiday cards went out Monday. Woo hoo!
- I love getting messages like the one below. Amy in Belgium got hers already because I sent our EU ones last week. I wasn’t sure how long they’d take to get there. That was fast! And my friends in Australia got theirs this week too (I mailed them November 1).
- I’m a federal employee and only get federal holidays off work, but our Administrator granted us 3 hours of leave today. WOO HOO! And this Friday is my Friday off so I get an extra long weekend.
- Steven and I are having Thanksgiving for two at home tomorrow, then my parents are visiting Friday-Sunday and we have ALL THE PLANS. Mostly Christmas and fitness and eating related. And there is a surprise too. I’m excited.
- Poor Tywin! He had a horrible wheezing cold last week and wouldn’t eat and sounded dreadful. He is thankfully feeling better and eating again. We were so worried about him.
- I made an appointment for Tywin to get neutered on December 8th. Sigh. I wish whomever he belongs to would do it, but I cannot on good conscience let him galivant around impregnating female cats. Sorry Tywin. He will convalesce inside our home then go back outside before Christmas. WE CANNOT HAVE ANOTHER PERMANENT CAT INSIDE (all caps because I am yelling at myself).
- I will be at the vet’s office a ton in December. I was there last week with Starbuck and Apollo for their annual visits (they are healthy, Starbuck was a feisty b-word at the vet, no surprise there, even though I gave them all drugs), then on the 8th with Tywin then later in the day for Starbuck and Apollo shot follow-ups then back later to pick up Tywin, then there on the 15th for Khali and Ned’s annual appointments, then back some unknown time for their shot follow-ups. Oh kitties. You expensive.
- Proof that Snow Jr lets me feed him a food tube:
- And last but definitely NOT least… there’s been a lot of death in our lives recently. Two close (separate) friends lost their mothers, and one of Steven’s long time friends passed this week. It’s just… *deep breaths*… tough. We feel so sad for our friends and the shock of losing Steven’s friend is still settling in. It doesn’t feel real yet, at least to me. I’m not sharing this for sympathy, but just to keep it real and let you know it’s been a roller coaster over here, and that if you’re feeling that way too, you’re not alone.
I am so sorry to hear about all of the loss in your lives. That is so hard.
Love that you got your cards out so early! We just need to put ours in the mail — I don’t know what I have been waiting for!
Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you <3
When do you usually send them out? You're definitely still ahead of the game!
Thank you, you too!
I couldn’t believe when I checked the mail on Tuesday and your card was in there. Wow!
And I’m so sorry about your losses.
I am surprised it got there in a day! That’s nuts!
And thank you <3
You are so good about getting your cards out on time – I still have to order mine!!!
I am so sorry to hear about the losses people close to you have been experiencing, that is so hard. It has definitely been a rough time lately. Hang in there…hugs xxx ooo
Thanks! I just love to have it off my list LOL. I always love yours -it’s one of the most beautiful ones I get!
Thanks so much <3
Yay for RTT on a Wednesday! We have a double TG this year – a small just the four of us meal today and then the extended family on Saturday.
It’s so tough when pets get sick. Our dog is terrified of the vet. Hope everyone gets a clean bill of health, and some extra treats.
Oh fun! I love spreading out the holiday like that, especially when it’s not all on the same day!
Thank you!
Aww, Tywin. I hope everything goes well for him!
I am very sorry to hear about the losses. It’s so hard to go through losses like that at this time of year, too. Much love, friend.
He’s been feeling better! And thank you, I hope it does too!
Thank you <3
You are good people, getting Tywin neutered. (I’m sorry whoever owns him won’t do it, though. Grr…)
So sorry about all the losses. They are awful at any time, but especially around the holidays.
Thank you <3
And thanks! They are. I feel so bad for our friends.
We got your card. It was one of the first. Impressive 🙂 Thanks for being so on top of things to start the holiday season right (I had to finally take down the cards from last year to make room for the new ones :)).
LOL, thanks! You’re welcome! It’s just part of my obsession with trying to have am empty to do list (impossible)!
