This is weird. I am doing the blog on my ipad while following work on the desktop. I keep looking up at the desktop to see if what I am typing here is showing up. My mind may be a strange and wondrous place but apparently it does not like this action.
It is 73 degrees here. Cloudy with a breeze creating the illusion of colder weather. Christmas is a few days away. I am the least prepared I have been in many years. Well, that is a statement tied into my financial situation. Christmas spirit is cool. I don't decorate as a rule. Always did when the kids were home and enjoyed it. This year we have, through some weakness in my character, three cats. A tree is not part of my plan to entertain them. Maybe I should decorate the cats?? Dial 911!
The baby still has his manhood. He struts and plays with an intensity that is a wonder to see. Folding laundry is different these days. This kitten believes each shirt, towel, sock, etc. is his ticket to rumble and he is FAST! That little ball of fire with the awesome eyes and lovely coloring is also capable of stinking us out of the house. He gives "silent but deadly" an entirely new meaning! It is close to atomic cat war.
Winter is one of my favorite times of the year. I curl up in a warm blanket on the sofa and veg. Winter requires very little of me. For many years I was a sun baby. I sunbathed on the beach without benefit of towel. I loved the warm sand against my body. I was deeply tan each year. Years passed. My body no longer tolerates the heat well. I have no idea why. I am reminded of a good marriage that quietly and slowly loses vitality until there is no comfort or warmth to be found. Now I gaze up at the night sky shivering slightly from the chilled breezes and I am happy. I am a night person. The darkness comforts me. The moon and stars hypnotize me. God is real. His heavens are majestic. I am humbled. My soul magnifies The Lord.
