Well, I guess I'll tell you all about my big Christmas adventure. On December 23, I went next door to check on my Mom. It was raining and her steps were slippery. To make a long story short, I took a fall down her steps and thought I just really sprained my ankle. It was so much worse on the 24th that I spent most of the day in the ER. Turns out I broke the bottom part of my left fibula. That's the smaller bone in your lower leg. I received a lovely stylish boot and instructions to go home and keep ice on it. It's not one of the more serious breaks… didn't even displace. But it put a stop to all Christmas plans for the year. At this point I' stuck upstairs at home because there's no bathroom downstairs and the steps are a major deal to navigate. I have an orthopedist appointment on Thursdsy and then hopefully will be able to get back to work. I enjoyed the enforced rest at first but now I'm very bored. What a horrible time of year for this to happen!

Evening, buddy.
What are your plans for New Year's?

We're still in the middle of a snow storm, it's beautiful, but I wish I was home already =]
The commute will be long, I'm sure.

Not sure what I'm doing yet. I normally see the new year in with my parents and then go out afterwards to meet my friends.

I love snow but haven't had a decent snowfall here in a while.

Take some photos for us snowlovers if you have time x

Wishing you all a Merry Tuesday and hoping those of you who have to contend with weather and driving conditions are safe and warm.

My commute this morning was harrowing - I tripped over a pitbull who was chewing on a labrador Christmas ornament that a certain cat had batted out of the tree while I was enroute to my laptop at the dining room table.

This caused me to have to detour to the kitchen to wash off the pitbull slobber from said ornament and while there, thought it was a good time to mix up a breakfast smoothie. I set the blender cup open on the counter, and went for a black Sharpie marker to touch up the Labrador ornament.

When I returned, a thief had chosen to partake of my breakfast drink. Since there were no other humans on the premises, it had to have been one of the seven furry quadrapeds. The smallest dog is immediately eliminated from the interrogation line up since she can't reach the counter. The labrador is excused because she's regal and would never lower herself to snitch from the counter. Her son might, but he gave me his floppy eared sad face which conveyed, "I woulda, but Mommy said, 'NO!'"

The pitbull looked at me like I was insane, as if to say, "You know perfectly well Chia seeds give me indigestion." Sorry, right. What was I thinking?

The Catahoula just stared a hole through me, indignant that I would suggest he would ever partake of something lacking chicken or beef if he was going to go to the trouble of stealing it.

That just left the cats, one of whom wouldn't touch human food with a ten foot pole and the other... well... the other has white facial markings and as he looked up at me as if to deny these outrageous accusations, his white facial markings were now purplish from the blueberry stains. Interestingly enough it's the same cat who originally batted down the labrador ornament.

I think it was a diabolial themed plot targeting the Labrador. So sad. In retrospect - I think I may also spend too much time alone working from home that I have this level of exchange with my furry companions. I'm becoming the crazy Christmas cat lady. ;-)
Have a great day all! :-D
