I am so happy that Christmas is over! I breathed a big sigh of relief today. I really feel like a weight has been lifted off me. I had a nice day snuggling with my dog and watching soaps and news and knitting. My scarf is getting long!

I watched "The NBC Nightly News" today. I wanted to hear news of the Nashville bombing and my silly local station didn't have anything on it. It was the top story on Canadian and American national news. Just waiting for them to report that the bomber was mentally ill tho. It's just a matter of time. It was an interesting experience to hear Canada mentioned on the NBC news. I like Lester Holt too, such an interesting face. And my local news has the cutest weatherman! He's a tasty morsel!

I never watched news before COVID because i took Mass Communications in university and concluded that news is just a tool the rich use to oppress the poor. But i'm 54 now and i've gotten over the socialist fervor of my youth at last. I watch TV online and the NBC news was only twenty minutes and ran without commercials. Yay! Something more to do! I'm pretty discouraged about Scrabble. Have been having real stinkers of games and weekly online club was chaos last week. So unpleasant!

Today i'm happy i'm a recluse as i've been bothered by thoughts of the horrorshows that have been my family experiences. I love my dog and my one close neighbor is okay. She sent me an email Christmas card which was very thoughtful. I haven't seen much of her this year as she got a rambunctious puppy in March and he goes berserk over my dog so we can't really visit anymore. He'll be one year old soon tho so hopefully he will settle down and we can spend time together again.

CHRISTMAS IS OVER!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs to all who struggle!
