We got a lot of nice things: clothes, a new iron, a blueray player, electric blanket, backpacking stuff, a new showerhead, new shoes, etc. It was very nice. Church was ok. Nothing too special, really.
We had Christmas dinner with Aaron's folks and extended family. Aaron and I spent a lot of with with baby Isaac (Aaron's cousin's baby). I just want to soak up all the baby-ness. So I held him a lot, fed him twice, and changed him once. Aaron held him a lot too. Kind of bittersweet.
I ate too much, so I'm up at 3am, feeling acidy.
It was a good day over all, but in the evening, I got depressio. C'est la vie.
Diamond Jim update:
Mr Kitteh has Toxoplasmosis, which is common in cats. But in FIV+ cats, it's worst, and can compromise the liver. So he's on antibiotics, electrolytes and something else. The vet said he probably won't live more than 4 or 5 years. I'm surprised the estimate is that long. It's good, but he's almost 12, his health is so-so, and he has FIV. So we'll keep him around as long as he can be comfortable, but our goal was for him to spend his golden years in a nice home, so that's what we'll do. But they saw no reason for the subcutaneous fluids, so at least there's that. He'll have another blood test in 3 weeks to see how he's doing.
But he's been acclimating very well. He's not sequestered anymore. There have been very few confrontations. And we solved the problem of his food. He gets kitten food, to help him put on weight. Moss, and Yoie both love that food, so it was hard to make sure he was getting him food. Then I noticed that DJ cat can fit through the closet door when it's open 3-4 inches. So we cleared out the bottom of the closet and set his food up in there, and it's been working great! He's still super snuggly. He'll follow
Aaron and I around the house. He really wants to sit on the keyboard. Oh, and he not a huge fan of being carried.
