Happy Holidays

Is it Christmas? Happy Holidays everyone :)
Last night Elizabeth and I watched Neil Gaiman’s very entertaining fantasy entitled “Stardust” on the laptop positioned on a chair just next to the roaring fireplace. While sitting on the couch, Elizabeth sipped a Delirium Noel Belgian Christmas Ale and I enjoyed a pain-free night thanks to generic Percocet.
Up until now the Doctor had subscribed me Lortab, 5mg of codone and 500mg of acetometiphin. The Lortab wasn’t working very well in it’s minimal dose so I was taking 2 every 4 hours instead of 1. This dosage was causing me to have cold sweats throughout the night most likely caused by the acetometiphin. I would also wake up in the morning in more pain than usual due to the lack of a comfortable nights rest. Last night was the best nights sleep I’ve had since arriving home from the hospital. I suppose this was my Christmas gift from Santa.
Speaking of Santa, according to Google’s[1] Norad Santa Tracker, Jolly Ol Saint Nick skipped visiting Pennsylvania and New York. I doubt that was the case as the cats were repeatedly caught gazing out of our front windows at the overcast, yet brightly moonlit sky. They only tend to do that when there is activity out there :-)
Last evening we also discovered that Simcoe dislikes whistling when one of the guys from Rifftrax.com started up a tune to the movie Spiderman. I continued the tune with the result of her ears and eyes paying cautious attention to her surroundings. After seeing this I couldn’t whistle any longer due to my difficulty in trying not to smile and chuckle. Simcoe also gets a little nervous when you sing to her while she is in your lap as I discovered the other day. I find this strange as she enjoys the ambient music that plays on the home stereo.
This is the first year Elizabeth and I did not acquire a Christmas Tree. We have had a tree every year since we started living together in our apartment in North Wales. In the past few years we have enjoyed going to a local tree farm, getting onto the farm tractor pulled trailer, hunting down and together carrying a nicely sized tree back to the convoy. They give us hot cider and if you are there off-peak, you get the experience practically to yourselves. I wonder if our lack of tree had an effect on the lack of Santa. Hmm…
