Fair warning to everyone - I'm climbing up on the pity pot for the rest of the day! 
I can not seem to shake this dammed bug! Yes, I'm better than I was a few weeks ago, but still feel like crap. I had to wrestle the dog off a gopher tortoise this morning. I ended up wheezing and gasping for breath leaning against the side of the barn.
Was looking forward to getting some stuff done around the house and farm while I'm off for the next two weeks. All I seem to be able to do is park on my arse. 
This is so small of me.... a friend was supposed to come for a few days for Christmas. I've been really looking forward to her coming. She called a few nights ago to say she's not sure she can come. Read that to mean she will not be coming. The reason is that she hurt her knee and doesn't think she can drive. Thing is, every time we plan something she ends up cancelling. I understand she didn't hurt herself intentionally. I understand that she will also be home alone on Christmas, but still.... stuck home alone on Christmas.
Back when family was still alive I used to dread the holidays. Stressed filled days interacting with people I didn't particularly care for. We shared DNA so we had to share the holidays. Now, there's no family. It's me, the cats and the dog. Love my critters, but it's not the same. I'm really missing my Mom this holiday season. The last few years of her life it was just the two of us. The holidays were fun and low stress. Mainly I just miss her though.
Okay, I've given myself permission to camp on the pity pot today. Tomorrow I have to get up and get on with life.
