Tonight, my friend pug is having her annual Yulefeast dinner where she invites everyone to eat and party and celebrate the return of the sun. I'm bringing vegan cupcakes that my sister has made for me. :)
In the one dream I remember, everyone was reading Orwell's Animal Farm, and I think I was leading the group.
TOD:
The best thing that happened to me this year is that my significant other got laid off from his job as a newspaper entertainment editor. I know that doesn't sound like a good thing, but Mark was working 16 hours a day and I almost never saw him except on weekends. He had terrible eating habits, never had the time to exercise, and got very little sleep. Now we walk the dog together every evening, he eats fairly nutritious meals at home and walks on the treadmill everyday. I think he's lost about 25 pounds, but we'll never know because he refuses to weigh himself. Anyway, he washes all the dishes and has the holiday lights turned on outside when I drive up to our house after work. He makes a very nice house-husband. It's a bit disconcerting that he hasn't been able to find another job in six months (no one buys newspapers anymore), but we haven't needed the money, and I'm sure he'll find something next year.
We are expecting temps in the 60's through the end of the week....and lots rain today and thunderstorms and high winds tomorrow.
Merry Christmas ??

Is it a vegan dinner?
Got a couple of nice CDs in the mail!
I heard from my adopted son Joshie before he headed off to New England and his family. We begin work on Encores! on Monday morning, Dec. 28. Big relief!

I think "upstate" for dwellers in Manhattan is the geography around Albany.

Getting laid off my newspaper job was one of the best things that ever happened to me, Amy. I'm sure that Mark will find something similar in his case. All the best for 2016.

Still can't quite catch the Christmas spirit this year, having a bit of depression. That's why I haven't been here in a couple of days. Sorry to sound like the character with the rain cloud overhead.
The day after the new fridge was installed, I received a call that part of my disability is stopping, so beginning next month I will get about $600 less. It will be close to just get by.

Why such a large drop in your benefits?

Part was through the State, and they've tightened their belt since the new guy was elected. Our governor is the ice cream guy, Cold Stone, but I'm not so sure about him.
The company that oversees that, Sedgwick, has been looking for anything to lower or drop me since almost the day before I was discharged during the heaviest part of my treatments. People have warned me about Sedgwick, plus the woman assigned to me is named Diane. In my entire life, the name Diane has been a bad omen, or something. I have never known a Diane that I befriended or who liked me, or had good news. I've had friends who've had other similar experiences, but with different names.
I had a lot of errands I needed to run today, but instead, I went home, took a pain pill, and slept for two and a half hours. My knee is still causing a great deal of pain.
I met my friend, Sharry, for lunch today. By the time we finished, my left knee (the bad leg) was hurting so bad, I couldn't stand it.

I will refuse comment since my sister is named Diane. :-)

~~~Knee-Feel-Better Vibes for TCB!!~~~

Thank you. It is easy for us to tell her that it will get better, but we don't have to suffer through it.
Thank you, Ginny. Did you mail me my cookies yet?

You might not want any of tonight's batch. I accidentally put in twice as much lemon extract as called for. Richard and I taste-tested and they seemed OK, but may "ripen" with age...
Enjoy!

And so is mine. ::)

I got him a new bed for the bedroom.
I hope Cilla is feeling better.
From what I understand, not a lot. They told her it would be a one to three month recovery period.
I hope Cilla is feeling better.
Cilla is feeling much better
Sorry, got into watching Love, Actually and forgot to post
My plan was to go see my family on Christmas day and come back the next day, but I'm not sure the weather is going to cooperate. SO, I may have to change my plan and go on Christmas Eve instead. Will watch the forecast and decide
You have to clean the oven before you can self clean the oven? That makes no sense.

Today I got a wonderful Christmas present from my former client and friend. He's the teenager from Guatemala I helped a few years back. He brought a big bouquet of roses and some Christmas money for me to buy a gift.
