I had a very good night of sleep. Stella hopped into bed with me at 9:00, when I turned off the lights. I* woke a little after midnight for a bathroom break. At that time, Stella left and Thatch cuddled up with me. Some time later. Stella returned, and Annabelle showed up shortly before the alarm rang.

I have postponed my haircut until after the Christmas holiday......call me Cousin Itt......around the sides.

One of my favorite obscure mentions of Cousin Itt is in the Christmas-ish show ANNIE -

When you wake, ring for Drake
Drake will bring your tray.
When you're through, Mrs. Pugh
Comes to take Itt away!

It's all in my nose now - no sore throat but almost no voice. I'm so tired of this crap. Cleaning lady is coming way too early and I don't fancy being out of the house for three damn hours. I tried to get her to push until Saturday but she won't. I'm thinking her days here are numbered. She's been doing this for over two decades now, but I'm having little patience at the moment. And if I'm not on the mend tomorrow, then I cancel the Do and if people can come on the first of January, we'll Do a little Do then. And the nose stuff could be more allergies from the damn rain and dog combo. Thank goodness the dog goes bye bye at eight.

Well obviously it’s because there are non-white people and possible non heterosexual people looking happy in Biden’s White House therefore it must be evil, anti Christianity and no doubt some sort of indoctrination of young folks .

Sophie the Dog has departed. I must say, I think by the end she really liked me - she licked/kissed my hand before she left, which she's never done and she gave me her paw. Couch is now shorn of all the sheets/towels and while I'm sure there's still a residual smell there, I couldn't find any hair because we wrapped everything so well, and there shouldn't be any on the wood floors because she never touched them. In fact, she would not get off the rug she was on to take the five steps to the door and I had to literally drag her and the rug to the door.

Today was not my day. I didn’t sleep well last night, but managed to get more tossing done, albeit slowly. I ordered a tostada salad from Grubhub, but after taking it out of the bag the plastic container split and my dinner fell to the floor. 🙁☹️ I ordered another, which arrived quickly. Next to my order was an Amazon package from a friend, which contained a small tin with a gift card. But I can’t for the life of me figure out how to open the tin. 🙁🙁. At least I had dinner. Sigh.

Did I mention how cold it is? My new storm window does help some, but it’s a very drafty apartment and on rainy days, like today, it’s just very cold. Brrrr!

Was kept waiting more than an hour to see the doctor.

Can you get stressed from waiting so long for the stress test?

It caused my blood pressure to go up to 118 over 62. That’s about 10 points higher than normal.

Those are still really good numbers, aren't they?

Yes, they are.

  Does ice cream count as a food you can squish ;)

The doctor recommended that specifically, as a matter of fact.        :)

We hardly ever have it in the house, so it's a special treat.

How funny.  I hardly never have it in the house, yet it is still a special treat!!

Q for BK, or anyone who’d care to answer. What are your favorite Christmas/holiday LPs?

My parents had this, and I just really liked it.  His version of "Sleigh Ride (https://m.youtube.com/watch?si=mOtCE0xNRjBwQlne&v=b90nDysVqAE&feature=youtu.be)" is probably my favorite version of all. :)

My folks always played this album when decorating the tree.

Nice! :)

We had a good laugh about the “staging” of our old house.  After getting all of our stuff out and paying to have all the holes in the walls covered up, we watched our realtor and her daughter drag a bunch of generic stuff back in and put new holes in the walls to hang pictures that look like they came out of a hotel room.

Oh, my! ::)

Have a Christmas cookie.

Yes, I would like one of each, please.

Sometimes, holiday decorations are good for more than one holiday.
