After 2 days of running around, I plan to stay HOME today. I've lost my recipe for sugar plums, so will make sugar cookies and braid bread today.

I'm a little lost. For the first time in my life, we won't have Christmas Eve at Mom's, because she, my step-dad and Baby Brother are in OK with her MIL, who is ill. My SIL called last night..."What do we do???" So we decided to do nothing. My SIL is having Christmas dinner tomorrow, so she's going to spend the day getting ready. I'm going to bake and work on my novel. And clean house...again.

Mama Kitty is fixed, and hiding out. NOT happy with us. And she's older than we thought. She's around 5, the vet said. She acts like a kitten, though! But no more heat! YAY! Peace cost us $115. Worth it.
