Oh Holiday Tree. Since I'm a non-believer and the Pagans or Romans actually started the custom of dragging trees inside and decorating them, I prefer to call it a Holiday Tree. Mummy and I drove over to Brian and Andy's tree lot. I think Andy is at this lot, a tall, lanky man wearing brown coveralls. He had thick blondish-brown hair pulled back in a ponytail and a country accent. Hot. I asked for a Charlie Brown style tree- in Andy parlance that is a "natural" tree. I dropped $50 on it, shocking mom, but you pay for quality. It smelled so piney in the car on the way home.
Once here I pulled out the string of lights and discovered I needed to go get another strand. A quick run to the store and back. Then mother and I decorated. I mostly have plain balls, old fashioned style figural ornaments, and some felt ones Susan made for me. Also a few pipe cleaner ones made at last years party. The tree stands in the corner of the living room, wired to the window locks to keep it from falling if the cats decide to be naughty and play on it. My favorite ornaments are securely wired on if that should happen.
Holiday tree, December 2003.
The cats have been behaving themselves- no messes, just a few fights. Mummy says it is because she entertains them during the day. I hope it lasts.
Joey as a demon.
Archaeology work appears to be picking up, so I am not stressed about that. I am trying to be more productive in terms of writing, since I have to basically have my portion of a large report done this month. It is do-able, I perform well under pressure.
