Out and about this morning just trying to get things done.   You have to get up early here.   Chuck is working his usual 12 hours today and an 8 hour shift tomorrow.   This is the first I remember having of Christmas week.    I did my vegetable shopping this morning and still forgot the thyme, so I have to go out tomorrow.  Luckily the super market is just 5 minutes away.  At least we put the tree up yesterday and had wine and cheese for munchies and then watched   JULIE AND JULIA  on Comcast.   I wondered how much weight Julie and her husband gained that year while cooking French food????

I took two cats to the vet for their check ups.   Henry growled like a mountain lion in the back  of the car, and Lucy defecated (as usual) in the travel carrier.   The only thing that is good about that is you have a fresh specimen.    The vet always wants that.   For two senior cats they are in good shape.   Just once a year is too long for me.  I took them in two separate carriers because having them fight would be too much.   I get tired of the hissing and growling.

Traffic is a mess, it took me twice the usual travel time to get to the vets and back home, made worse by the protestations in the back.
