My annual ear infection decided to come early. It usually shows up in January.
The holidays are going nicely though. Festival was a cock-up this year. The Armory was under repair so we had to use a different volunteer room, which threw the energy off, the main organizer was retiring and out of fucks so the staffing was off, and every old biddy who usually volunteers was crabby as hell this year, which threw me off. And the trees were smaller, it looked totally off. Hopefully we can get it together next year. Assuming we don't lose Medicare and the hospital altogether. These days you never know. But it was still Festival.
The stocking is not getting done by Xmas.
Because I'm sick and that is way more than I want to even think of doing in a week. It will continue until done though, then be pinned up in The Room of Many Hobbies until November 2017 when it will be turned into a stocking. That means I get to look at it longer, so what the hell.
And we do have stockings up.
We only have four cats, the ones on the right are for our kitties who have gone before. The one center left is for the spouse, I've put it here before. The one center right is a wedding gift which is currently holding place for mine.
The spousal unit and I started a new tradition today.
Making holiday cards. I particularly like that Santa one.
And I made said spouse a hat.
Not the most glorious (that comes later) but an entirely functional hat.
So even with some things entirely wrong this feels like a quiet, wonderful holiday season. I am thoroughly enjoying it. I don't know why but, knock on wood, this one just fits.
Hope you all have good ones too.
