Santa and the Naughty Elf, Revisited

Remember Santa and the Naughty Elf from a few years ago? I thought it'd be fun to check in and see how they're doing this year. 

It's not that Gia Elf isn't happy for Santa Boyfriend, it's just that Santa Boyfriend needs to be a little more sensitive to the fact that not everyone skips a meal and loses 6 pounds.

Gia Elf is sure the cookies are unrelated to the weight loss. They're magical Christmas cookies.

She'll be a fun addition to the sleigh this year!

So Santa Boyfriend and Gia Elf tackled present delivery as a couples activity, and they both loved it. 

And they had the best Christmas ever. 

All the presents got delivered. And then Santa took a nap for 45 days. 

Merry Christmas!

Kitty Revenge

Context here. Oh and also here.  

Apparently, sleepiness brings out a vindictive streak in me. Sigh.  

Sick Kitty

During the holidays, something pretty unsettling happened.

Something was wrong with my kitty. Her inner eyelid was showing on one eye, which is not supposed to happen. I brought her to the vet that afternoon.

The vet said it might be a virus or infection (she was hanging out with some other cats over Christmas and could have caught it from them).

So I brought her home and closely monitored the situation.

My. Entire. Weekend.

However, by the end of the weekend my poor kitty was WORSE.

Her eye was getting cloudy too, and other one was getting red. So I was back at the vet’s on Monday.

I brought her home and continued my vigilance.

Luckily, these meds actually worked, and Kitty’s eyes improved. Two days later, I brought her to the vet again to confirm.

So, that’s pretty much that. Kitty costs a small fortune, but she’s nearly all fixed. As cat owners know, it’s important to pay attention to kitty’s eyes. An untreated infection could have left her blind in one eye.  

She’d rock an eyepatch, though. #PirateKitty

Hormones

So, this happened last weekend:

Anyway, the next time Boyfriend came over he brought me a present.

So all's well that ends well. Pretty much.

Sorry kitty, it's true.

Anyone else experience something similar to this? 

Conversations with my Car

For those of you on the east coast, you know its been crazy unseasonably cold lately. I recently had this conversation with my car.

Luckily, my car and I got to work in one piece. But car was NOT happy.
