Vixmom, I don't know how you did all that in one day. I spent hours just fixing the roast, three yellow foods, steamed green beans, rolls, and a salad.

And I ran the dishwasher four times yesterday.

I had a very quiet day yesterday. Around 10:00 yesterday, one of my best friends from college who used to own a co-op in Brooklyn and now lives in San Francisco called, then my best friend from college FaceTimed me from London. While we were chatting, Jen showed up with a small quiche. She and Ann are going to Jen's brother's on Martha's Vineyard tomorrow amnd she's taking a lot of quiches, minus mine.

I cooked some peas and carrots to eat with the quiche, and that was my Christmas dinner. It was quite good.

My big disappointment with Christmas was the Grandson was playing games on a phone all afternoon. I knew this would happen, but I didn't think it would happen at age 6.

Around noon, I opened all the Christmas cards I've received, played at the computer, cleaning out what I can of the iTunes mess. I fed the cats and had my dinner. Around 5:00, I got an unexpected Amazon email informing me that a DR had sent me a gift certificate. It was my one Christmas gift and it was completely unexpected. I was moved to tears by such unexpected generosity and kindness.

After I finished my evening chores, around 7:00, I climbed into bed with the cats and read bits of Sondheim's first volume of lyrics until 9:00. It was a nice day.

The neighbors loved their baking-supply gift. The best reaction I could have hoped for.

This morning I woke to find one of the cats had not made it to the litter box on time and left a mess on the litter mat. These messes tend to be situated exactly where I need to place a foot, just inside the bathroom door or in the small corridor between the foyer and their food dishes. So, a bit of that gift certificate will go todays to a new litter mat.

I'm not trying to interfere, but I would hope his parents would nip that in the bud.

DR vixmom, I agree with DR Laura: where the fat hell does all that energy come from? I get exhausted just reading about it.

No kidding, Elmore. He was mostly playing with Grandpa's phone (he had downloaded games on it when we were babysitting). He set it down once, and I swooped in and put it on the bookshelf. I was getting ready to start reading "Horton Hears a Who" to Aunt Sassy, and Grandpa handed it back to him. I was pretty ticked off.

This is the only child I have ever known who has no patience for books. But if I start reading to Aunt Sassy, he'll climb up on the sofa and wiggle in to see what's going on.

And if Grandpa's phone wasn't available, he took Mama's.

I've been dreaming this past week about friends who are no longer among the living. Last night I had a vivid dream about my friend Loyce Martin.     

And that's enough of me!
