This Year Will Be No Different

Well, another entry being tapped out on my cellphone. Our wifi is still not working. Tomorrow afternoon we have to drive to Gig Harbor to pick up a new modem. I'm impressed with myself. Usually this type of first world inconvenience would tip me over the edge, but honestly I don't even care. That's growth on my part.

I got today off, because Mr. Ham's memorial service was this afternoon. It was rough. Snookums and I tried our best not to cry, but hearing all the heartfelt stories was more than we could handle. Mr. Ham has touched so many lives, and was so very loved by the community. Kiki didn't seem terribly moved by the whole ordeal. She looked bored. I still don't know if she fully understands death, or if she's made her peace. Kids are so resilient.

Tonight we had our pre-Black Friday, meeting (well, pre-Thanksgiving really. How sad). I'm trying very hard to get through this holiday season with the least amount of hate and animosity for the general public. I'm hoping that someday I won't view the holidays with as much dread as I currently do. I harbor a great deal of distain for literally every person who decides to go shopping Thanksgiving and Black Friday. They (each and every one of them) contribute directly to my hatred and I want to shift that paradigm. Somehow. I always survive. This year will be no different.

I bought new lampshades for the living room lamps. I don't like them as well as the old once, but they'll do until I find ones I like better. Yesterday one of the living room lamps was mysteriously knocked over, bending the shade in a way I couldn't repair. Kiki said Zeke (one of my most passive kitties) did it. Then today, a picture got knocked off the wall. Kiki said Zander (my blind kitty with a seizure disorder) knocked it off. Somehow I'm not buying any of it. My mother in law sent the little kids plush Seahawks footballs. I think that's where the blame should lay. Good thing there's nothing material in this house I'd actually be upset about losing. It's all just stuff.
