tomorrow is our last warm day for awhile

Nov 17, 2024

I intended to do a bit of outside Christmas decorating today but couldn’t get motivated. After tomorrow, we’re supposed to expect high daily temps that are 20° colder. “Coldest days since February,” is what they’re saying. Perry’s planning to fire up the outside boiler on Tuesday and I can’t wait! I LOVE the hot water and warm floors.

Why can’t I get motivated?

First, there’s this:

Merida is a bad girl

Hugo has me pinned

Dharma is on a new prescription from the vet and it’s helped her mobility quite a bit. Thing is, it makes her feel so good that she’s about to make me crazy. She’s constantly grumping at me to get her a bone… or a treat… or to scratch her back. She’s getting on the couch (she hasn’t done that in over a year), and is just being a pain in general.

Dharma is feeling better.

Not complaining… but only because she’s feeling better. 🙂

Since tomorrow’s the last warm day, I hope I can put up a few lights outside. It’s either that or whine about being cold when it finally gets done.


Now you know: In 2004, Polaroid issued a statement advising people to not actually shake Polaroid pictures because shaking them would ruin them. The came shortly after the release of the song ‘Hey Ya!’ by OutKast and the song’s lyrics “shake it like a Polaroid picture”
