The Month In Review

[la_samtyr]

So, it's been a really long month. *sighs* I think part of it was due to Thanksgiving being so late -- it's unusual. I didn't go out and shop yesterday but I did make a point to eat lunch at a local sandwich shop, and buy books at the local stores. After all, books are *necessary* -- am I right or am I right? Of course I'm right! :D

I was thinking about taking in a movie as well but I have seen "Thor 2" twice already (not in 3D though) and now it is time to save those pennies for "The Hobbit: DOS" which I am planning on seeing more than twice. ;)


My cleaning lady is only here part-time. I still have a ton of stuff to go through and take care of but it is just to cold to even think about doing some of it. *sighs* Next spring I will really have to get busy!

I also had a regular dr. checkup and the news was fair. Not any real improvement like I had hoped but not actually horrendous either. So now I must be back on schedule at the Y -- this is a must. I need to treat improving my overall health like I would a 'real' job.

LeeAnn developed a severe flea allergy and I had to take her to the vet to get a shot for it. Despite the fact she is on Frontline Plus, the outdoor cats (some of which belong to the neighbors and some of which come in from who-knows-where since they are tame enough to pet -- and of course the ever-present ferals) rub against her every time she goes outside. There are about a dozen of them, so this is going to be an on-going issue for her. I will take her back in 2-3 weeks time so he can monitor her progress.

Thanksgiving I spent with some distant cousins, which was especially fun since the weather was nice. My cousin C. from Chicago called and we talked for quite a while. She invited me to come there for Christmas but I am not sure. I told her I would call her back in a week or so. A lot depends on the weather *and* if I can get a sitter for the furkids.

Other than that, not much else happened.

I hope whatever you do you enjoy Christmas, Sam. You'll just have to shelve all your clearing until spring; just jog along through the winter like we all do.

I am gearing up for DoS too! :D

I really hate having to wait though. I am very bad at waiting. But it is really impossible to do much when the weather is so cold and iffy.

((hugsback))

There's never enough time for all the stuff one needs to do -- December is always too busy. *sighs along with you* Books are necessary, you are right. God, I hate fleas.

I'm looking forward to The Hobbit, but this year they are doing a double feature of Unexpected Journey and Desolation of Smaug and charging $27 per person for it. What! No one I know can see it earlier than Saturday. So, I may have to wait until everyone else has seen it already.

Never enough time, never enough. *sigh* And the time we do have is so short!

But I have some very nice books now; I'm all set to read them when I get a chance. :)

I didn't know that UJ/DoS though. Yikes! I wonder if the theatres will allow for outside food to be brought in... just popcorn and soda will not be enough! (Second breakfasts anyone? :)

To clarify, they are doing the double feature only on Thursday, Dec. 12, the day before the official release. After that I it's just the DoS at the normal awful price of about $8-12 depending on whether it's in 3D or 3DIMAX
They really do try to milk the blockbusters they know people are going to see.

We need two Decembers in a year just so we can move at a normal pace. Books are indeed necessary :)

Books always make me feel better. :)
