Bright little spots

Today's paper listed six job openings. Three were for crabbing, one was for accounting at a skill level higher than I have or want to have and two for waitstaff. Happy holidays! I'm reminding myself that this is not and has never been the most wonderful time of the year as far as job hunting goes. Still, it's a bit of a downer.

Today's also the two year anniversary of my bringing Johnny and Roy into my home. John has spent the last hour giving the gulls flying around the what-for and being generally adorbs.

Also, the UPS man came and delivered a package! I hadn't ordered anything, so I was confused. Turns out a little birdy sent me a package filled with owl magnets and owl measuring cups and an owl bookmark, because, yes, I'm old school with my reading habits.

THANK YOU, LITTLE BIRDY, THIS DID CHEER ME UP!

Also, it pretended to snow today. It did for about five minutes, but after that it was mostly frozen rain.

Still finding myself in a bit of a depressive state, but it should pass. Maybe when next week's festivities are over, because for some (alas, many), there is little merrymaking to be done. I'm an old lady, but I still wanted a hug on Christmas from my mother and father. And this year, the family gathering happens on my birthday, so it's kind of a double whammy for me.

Oh, I'd forgotten that! I just remember seeing a picture of some owl plates in your kitchen. I was trying to find something to cheer you up and I kept finding all these cute owl things!

Yep, kitties cuddling in your lap is definitely a hug!
