Merry Christmas everybody!

Ho Ho Ho! Merry Christmas! Ho Ho Ho!

And wouldn't you know it - I'm working. It's 12:30am on Christmas Day, and instead of being at home in bed, I'm working from 12:30 - 8am. Sometimes I wonder about my state of mind... but then I remember that it looks good in my record, and my employers love me as a result. And I get paid lots of money, so that's all good too.

My Christmas Day was earlier, on Christmas Eve. I had 'xmas day' with Penny, and we chilled out for the day. Waking up late, relaxed and took it easy. Then I went to buy a christmas present for myself. After that we went shopping for 'christmas lunch', with lots of nice food and nibblies and stuff. Didn't get as much as I wanted, but it was all good anyway. What I wanted was extra nibblies that would taste nice but certainly make me put on weight. What we ended up with was excellent and healthy.

The christmas present for myself...

...was a kitten!

I went to a pet store (thanks Passionfruit for the tip Cheesy ) and got one for $50 (instead $165, which was the average price a couple weeks ago). I knew that the kitten I'd end up getting would be one that felt right, and it would 'talk' to me when I was in front of it. We went in and there was a very cute pale ginger and white kitten, which meowed when it saw me, rubbed itself against my finger and leapt at the cage and hung there for a moment as it looked at me. That was enough - I bought it.

Most of the afternoon was spent watching and playing with the kitten, in and around lunch and an attempt to watch a movie (it was slow, so we turned it off to watch another time).

It's very affectionate when it's not busy running around like a kitten and jumping onto everything and being very amusing to watch.

I'm trying to work out what to call it. Penny suggested Eve, because I got it on Christmas Eve. I like that, but I'm also open to another name if one comes along. I'll give it a few days before I make a final decision.

Photos coming soon.

I want you all to know how much I value you coming to this website, to my journal, and reading what I have to write. I want those of you who are part of this in some way, whether it's by replying to what is written, or by writing for others to read - I want you all to know how much I appreciate your involvement and your interest. In this time of giving, I have nothing to give you except my appreciation, my love, and my hopes and best wishes for your future.

I hope you all, and those yet to come, continue to enjoy and be part of this site and community.

Love and light to you all.
