Some mornings when the better course would seem to be just not getting up, even for coffee, what motivates me out of bed is knowing I get to open another day on my Jacquie Lawson Advent calendar. A little sad, but you know, whatever works.

H just went out and bought a whole string of lights just for four replacement bulbs on our "pre-lit" tree--that has two swaths of impenetrable dark. Ooh! One of those just lit up.

Last night's supper was a giant bowl of steamed broccoli dusted with sea salt. Nom! I should do that more often.

I have not done cards. I have not sent the few presents I need to send. We blew off going to the movies this afternoon as neither of us could be arsed to care enough to go. I am overcome with ennui and the urgent need to nap. A brisk walk in the bracing air does not energize, it merely enhances the nappishness. Moar coffee just makes me both jittery *and* nappish, possibly entertaining for the observer. From here, not so much.

Perhaps I should open tomorrow's day on the advent calendar. Or go back and start at Day One again, that might be fun. Or nap. Naaap.

I love them all. And I love resetting the family room scene to see what they're up to the next time I return to the family room. Just yesterday was the first time I'd seen the kitten play with the snowflake!

I do that, too.

Chudleigh is such a good dog. The other animals romp through the room; he walks in, gives us a happy doggie grin, and sits down.

I was just in the calendar's Family Room again. Bertie the Cocker Spaniel was sleeping on the floor with the kittens curled up against him. He woke up, looked at them as if thinking, "How did that happen?", gave a doggie shrug, and went back to sleep. I am charmed.
