We have a tree, yay! And finally I have the lights up in the front of the house. You can definitely tell that a GURL did it. It looks like crap, and nothing is fastened. One stiff breeze will bring them all down for people to trip over. But since our main front-door visitors appear to be those people who stick ads into our door and hang ads from our doorknob, I don't feel too badly about this.
What's cool though is that
sharpeslass's parents went to England, and we now have chocolate Star Wars figurine ornaments for the tree (foil on the outside, fattening on the inside) and a Star Wars chocolate advent calendar. And Hallmark ornaments a-plenty.
Bujold: Thought I should finally read Hallowed Hunt, so to re-acquaint myself with the world I re-read the entire Vorkosign series. See the inherent problem? Two totally different universes. But hey, Sharpeslass was watching BAD BAD Adam Baldwin movies. I had to read something. Having some trouble getting into Hallowed Hunt, though. I'll need to sit down and try again.
Cat question:
sharpeslass's holiday trip and my holiday trip overlap. Think a cat would be all right alone for five days? The cat is 15 and high-stress anyway, so boarding would probably just send her over the edge.
I need to write. Anybody want anything written?

We can't give her to anyone to keep because she's destructive and a stress case. She loses half her fur when Melinda takes her to the vet. And she's not social except with us-- like when Melinda is gone for a couple of days, she's TOTALLY needy and follows me everywhere. But if you all think having someone stop by just to be a human presence will help, then we'll do that. Poor thing; it's just that working at the same place, Melinda and I have the same seminar "downtime" and it's best to get vacations out of the way right around Christmas and New Years.
