It has been so cold, 14 degrees and windy. We had some snow and ice last week, but it was warmer, about 22 degrees. I am not use to this cold; it’s been hard from me to get use to wearing a heavy coat, gloves, scarf and hat. Sometimes it’s not worth the effort to go outside!

We have been having the hardest time with the Christmas tree decorations, the puppy, Annie, thinks the ornaments are there for her entertainment. I bought some kind of bitter tasting spray and sprayed everything, the little shit walks around the tree tasting ornaments until she finds one that hasn’t been sprayed, takes it down and chews on it. The bottom 12 inches of the tree is bare. Evidently the bitter spray doesn’t last very long.

Everything here is going pretty good, I like my job and I hope to start school in January.

I did have a minor “thing” this morning, mom and I were running errands and I backed into a car in a parking lot. No damage to the other car, but I messed up the corner bumper of my car. I wasn’t to upset because the other car was ok. It could have been worse.

I was real sick last week, stomach virus. I was sick for about 2 days, and then got a cold and a upper respiratory infection. I’m just about all better now.

I am glad I’ll be around family for Christmas, but I will miss my sons something awful.
