PROBLEM VIDEO AND MORE

for the people who read my previous entry, i apologize for it being too small to read and having a video that wasn't there, lol. when i attempted to enter that entry, my computer shut down on me, so i wasn't aware it even went through. so much for my "almost internet connection" lol.

i didn't get much done on my 2 days off. i tried to clean up the kitchen (you know how the cabinets need degreasing after a few fried meals?). i cooked 3 full meals and messed up the stove again..........sigh. i didn't even leave the house today. i am becoming such a hermit when i am here by myself. i did go out yesterday and buy a few groceries. i make sure i have food in the house, lol.

i worked on Christmas presents today (i make all mine) but didn't finish any of them. it is so warm, i hate to crochet. crocheting is for cold weather. they say on the weather report that it will be freezing again in a few days. no wonder we are all sneezing, sniffling and coughing down here in the south.

i tried to make a video of my silly cat today, but for some reason, it didn't take. my internet signal was weak earlier in the day when the cat was spoofing for the camera. she played it up good too, sniffing the thing, yawning, turning in circles. a real ham.

                                     

speaking of ham, i brought home the thanksgiving ham from work and have started scraping off ham bits to feed the kitties outside. i gave them the rest of the leftover turkey today and plan on sharing the ham for the next few days. i was going to wait until the weather turned colder so that their bellies would be full and they would be able to stay warmer. but i don't want to hold onto the ham that long. they get sick too, from old meats.

i have an excellent internet connection tonight, but as soon as i say that (or type that), it will probably disappear. i am keeping my fingers crossed.

i have to go back to work tomorrow and don't really look forward to it. i would like to be able to quit that job and work 4-5 days at my new one. but right now i have to keep them both. i should have been born rich instead of so dang good looking, lol. (that was a big joke, lol)

since i didn't go out today i have little news other than what i have read online. aol has some interesting ways that different countries celebrate the Christmas season. it is on their front page. i am glad i am not west of here, where all the ice storms are. my thoughts and prayers are with everyone out that way.

georgia is in a severe drought. it is a record one for this area. i don't know if any of it is due to global warming, but something is going to have to happen soon. south georgia and florida are mad because we don't want to continue mandated water releases from our lakes so that their wildlife and mussels can survive. i understand that water is needed by them as well, but we are talking human lives up here. water has always been something we don't even think of, but now, it is becoming a scarcity. lack of water brings about wildfires. another good reason people should quit smoking (hey, can't blame me for using every opportunity to make that suggestion to smokers, lol).

It is sometimes just nice not to have to go ot for a couple of days, isn't it.  I do hoep that you soon have some rain, I could send ou some over from here in Wiltshire. The other day when I was out the rivers were so hight hey had all burst their banks and the feilds all around were awash and on some even the swans were swimming around where the winter barley would have been sown I am sure. Certainly we are all having aome odd weather.  Love Sybil x

I'm crocheting a few gifts for Christmas too and have a hard time concentrating.  I don't think it's the weather.  I think it's the situation.

Wishing you a Very Merry Christmas,
