It's nuts outside. Seriously. Ever since yesterday late afternoon, the winds have been constantly insane. It's near continuous gusts between 25-40MPH. There are wind advisories for at-to-above gale force winds and small craft advisories saying the winds can and will flip boats! Seriously, ridiculously windy!! It's also super cold. It's 48F (9C) outside with a…

Gracie – Good News Update
Ok, so first, the good news. I didn’t get to talk to the vet or vet tech (I only talked to the receptionist this morning) but the vet came in, looked at her preliminary lab results and said it was an infection. Further, the antibiotic shot they wound up giving her right at the last…
Gracie
We brought her in to the vet this morning – just showed up. They saw her pretty quickly. They wanted to keep her to give her fluids and do a urinalysis. So far, the specific gravity of the urine is low. That tends to point towards a kidney problem. They need to send blood work…
Continued Problems Gracie UTI
It’s been a stressful evening. Gracie is sick and we have to take her back to the vet first thing tomorrow morning. How we’re supposed to pay for it, I have no idea but it’s not an option not to take her. I took her in initially to the vet on November 8th because she…

Penguin Ornament
You guys are probably sick of pics of my tree but I wanted to show off the penguin ornament that I received. It’s hand painted and really cute. Thank you so much, Tracie!
Brr!!
Keep in mind, I live in Florida. And a week ago – last Monday – it was tying record highs at 85F (29C) during the day. Now? Brr!! Currently, it’s 46F (8C) outside! Again I say, BRR!! Can I call in “warm in my bed” to work today?
Christmas Tree – Monorail Display
Another quick shot of the tree since we got the monorail set up around it tonight. I also picked up two really awesome “Disney Parks Village” display pieces on ebay couple months ago. One building (called, “Mickey’s Christmas Carol”) is actually two separate buildings and they look just like a shop called “Sir Mickey’s” directly…
Week’s End
The week kinda wooshed by. I meant to post a real entry a few times but just never wound up having the chance. Quick recap… Monday – we went and picked up our Christmas Tree. We were going to do it Sunday but…there was that whole speaker incident and my mild concussion. Monday day I…
We have a cake for our meeting!

Monday Morning
So, I’m exhausted. I was up all night since we had to make sure I wasn’t getting worse and in-between the times waking up, I just didn’t sleep very well. My head still hurts today but I’m definitely less groggy/woozy so that’s a good step. Internally, my head where I hit it feels huge but…
Concussed?
I believe I may have a mild concussion. While trying to move furniture this afternoon trying to make space in the living room for a Christmas tree, I was crawling around on the ground and pushed the stand that holds one of the surround sound speakers. The speaker fell off and hit me right on…
Head Trauma
I was cleaning up in the living room, trying to make space this afternoon for a Christmas tree. I was down on the ground, moving the speaker stand and BAM! it fell right off and clocked me square on the head. That was hours ago and my poor head still hurts. So much for getting…
Holiday Cookie Recipe – Sugar Cookies
Sugar Cookie Recipe I know there’s a million out there but this is my mom’s. I grew up eating them and I still love them dearly. They make a thinner cookie that’s crispier. If you’re looking for a fat, softer one, this isn’t it. Don’t let that fool you though; they’re still really delicious and…
