Christmas was quiet and fairly good, except that over the course of the afternoon it became obvious that I have a FILTHY cold.
I am now lying resentfully in bed drinking mint tea I cannot taste and being grumpy about missing Christmas II: This Time Someone Else Is Cooking with the inlaws and feeling guilty because I cannot help with getting Bogart his required amount of outdoors time when it is -20 and I have a fever. At least I can get him dressed for walks, which as I am The One Who Can Get His Boots On is quite useful.
I feel too crap to want to a) watch Dr Who or b) check out Yuletide, which is to say, very crap indeed.
But I have an electric blanket and a snoring dog and the awesome
fairestcat made me tea and is heroically dealing with the dishes from last night's Roast Beast and trimmings.
Also I had allsorts and winegums for Boxing Day breakfast, washed down with Tylenol Sinus Cold and Flu.
I am happy with this choice.

Date: 2017-12-26 10:54 pm (UTC)Since it is Ottawa and from the current jet stream map everyone in Canada is living in an arctic climate zone for the foreseeable, wishing that this shall soon pass feels unwise. And Bogart doesn't seem to have the coat for getting inured to the cold, poor zoomy creature.
Maybe a doggy exercise wheel? Though those tend to need a lot of overhead clearance once the dog's larger than 20 pounds or so.
(I have childhood memories of the dog (a spaniel, shaggy for its kind, and delighted to tow my brother (whose dog they officially were) on cross country skis for hours at a time) flaked out next to the woodstove so completely motionless (the next day) you sort of felt compelled to turn them over so at least they'd toast evenly. And you could check that they weren't dead, because being turned over didn't cause a response.)

I'm going to work on Left and Right and Hold on the long-line this winter.
