Survived multiple difficulties in the past…good grief, Six Years.
I’m perched in the Northeast, currently staying in while the outside starts its yearly freeze. We may actually have a white Christmas this year. Family has changed, moved, done things. Life goes on. We all managed to avoid dying of covid, altho some of us caught it mildly.
Politics? I do my snark on x-twitter, but some bits may show up here.
For now, hello, I’m back.
Life is what it is
And it frequently gets in the way. Hence the more than year’s silence. Here’s to less silence.
Christmas
There once was a holiday called Yule-ish
The end of the year it did rule-ish.
Romans tried taking it,
Christian holiday making it,
Our pocketbooks say they were foolish.

Happy Yule!
Whatever your belief system, y’canna change the laws of physics. This is the day where the sun has reached its southern most point. It’s in the sky in the northern hemisphere the shortest number of hours; in the southern hemisphere, the longest number of hours; and in areas south of the antarctic circle, they have been having “midnight sun” for some time now. North of the arctic circle, people have once again had to put their faith in other people telling them about “sun” because they don’t see it. The people in the middle get to watch the sun wander from one side to the other, and wonder what a “season” is.
Celebrate! The short days will lengthen, or the long days will shorten. The earth moves, rotates, changes, grows, dies, and grows again. Celebrations include food, good friends, remembrances, and plans for the future. Enjoy!
Cats and Winter
Sleeping with cats in the winter
Is comfy and warm, I s’pose.
But try finding a way to turn over
When ‘tween cats and spouse you iz squoze.
When cats and spouse get cozy
And they take all the blankets away,
It’s warmer to move to the sofa
Where my covers are safe from the fray.
