Day with the family

Started by sleeping late, then going to do some shopping at the drugstore. Ate breakfast at McDonald's. Then came home and wrapped the gifts for the cousins and Aunt Helen. The Kid and SIL picked me up with Carmina, because they had to take her to the vet. They dropped me off at John and Denise's, where Oldest and Middle Brothers and Aunt Helen and Brianne were already. Then they took Carmina to the vet where RK works, and came back. RK said he would bring Carmina back to the city since he was coming in to Queens anyway, so they didn't have to leave early and were able to bring me home.

We had a great time, exchanged gifts, and had dinner. Everything was delicious. A good time was had by all.

Home now and feeding the cats.

Day of rest

After my last three busy days I took today off to do nothing. I did do a small amount of picking up, and I put up my 2016 calendar, but aside from that I read and puttered on the computer. Texted The Kid and found that Carmina is ok.

I am very concerned about the occupation of the Oregon Malheur Wildlife refuge. It is very disturbing. And reactions to it are very disturbing as well. It is treason, plain and simple, and should be treated as such.

On a brighter note, the FWiB actually answered the phone tonight and we talked. He is not doing well though. Still, better to hear than not.

Gratitude List:

1. The FWiB.

2. Carmina OK.

3. The Constitution.

4. Day of rest.

5. Good books.

6. Candy.
