Home on the Range

Yorkie Bernice has been a little gimpy since the weather turned cold, so we hauled her to the vet yesterday.  (Fortunately, at 12 pounds, she's an easy-loader.)  She's on medicine and lo and behold, she's already better, which is a weight off my mind, I can tell you.   

I'm writing again, no small feat after a trip away from home, and Christmas is springing up all over the place.  The tree is lit and decorated--I have always loved Christmas trees.  (Maybe that's why I'm so drawn to shiny things the rest of the time.  :) )

There's a little skiff of snow on the ground this morning--I woke up late (again) and am still on my first cup of coffee.  Bought myself a thing called a "dawn-simulator", not nearly as fancy or high tech as it sounds.  It's basically a rather large alarm clock with a set of LED lights in it, and it gradually brightens when it reaches the time you've set--I'm sure it's known around here, on the QT, of course, as "Linda's latest wacky gadget"--but I think it might help take the edge off those winter blues that tend to sneak up on me.  This year, I'm determined to do everything I can to stay happy and well--vitamins, exercise, the D.I.E.T., etc.

Speaking of the D.I.E.T., even though I certainly enjoyed the food and wine in Vegas, I'm awfully glad to be back on my regular plan.  My jeans still fit, right out of the dryer, so I figure I did okay.  :)

I'm headed back to Parable, to hang out with Hutch and Kendra and the rest of the outfit.  It's a tough job, but somebody has to do it.

:)

Have a good day.
