Post way too much about my pets.
In my head, I think I'm eloquent.
Feeling some kind of way about the future of democracy.

Welp, this Christmas was memorable for all the wrong things.
First, Scrunchion. I'm glad to have her home, but I'd rather she was still here.
Then the snowstorm. Not looking forward to the clearing of it.
Then the power went around 230PM. And it's going to to be gone until tomorrow sometime.

My puppy came home for the final time today.
Still heartbroken, but having her home makes it a little easier.
Give your pets some extra love this Christmas for me.
Furball is getting about all she can handle before she gets pointy and sharp.

I'll have my sweet Scrunchion back home before Christmas.
Angel Paws called today, and told me her ashes will be returned to the vets office in Clarenville on Tuesday.
Not how I wanted her home, but maybe this vague feeling of everything's wrong will go away.
I miss my dog.

I generally love Christmas, but I'm genuinely struggling this year.
Losing Scrunchion...just sucked all the joy out of it all.
I feel like I'm drowning, knowing if I don't get it done, it won't be done.
This Christmas is just HARD.

Managed to get a couple of lights outside, and got stuff moved to get the village set up after the parade tomorrow.
Finding Scrunchions toys and stuff while I'm doing it is gut wrenching.
Especially her leash and harness.
I don't know how I'd ever make it without Furball.

I'm beyond devastated.
Scrunchion passed away early this morning.
My heart is broken, and I don't know how to function without her.

I am a fucking wreck.
Scrunchion is sick.
Taking her to the vet tomorrow morning in Clarenville
At best, she ate something she shouldn't have.
At worst, it's an emergency spay.
We don't know how we're going to find the funds to pay for it, but there's NOTHING I wouldn't do for this dog.

Progress on the second set of moose - each row is repeated a second time, so this blanket will have 4 moose crocheted into it.
44 rows to go, then the border.
Think I can get it done in time for Christmas?

And craft fair season 2025 is a wrap!
Going to take a day or two to recover, then gotta dive headlong into Christmas prep.
Side note, school gym floors are THE WORST to spend the day standing on when you have hip issues.

I'm supposed to be sleeping.
I have my final craft fair for the year tomorrow.
What am I doing?
Doom scrolling while trying to convince myself that my hip doesn't hurt *that* much, so I can maybe get a couple of solid hours in.
My coffee had better coffee in the morning.

I'd be able to breathe.
I'd probably cry for a bit, then go buy ALL the groceries.
I'd be able to have reliable transportation.
I wouldn't have to scrimp and save to buy a new pair of jeans.
And maybe a kitchen gadget as a treat.

FML.
Thought I was on the back end of this sciatica flare from hell, so I tried to go longer between dosing myself with otc meds and Aspercreme.
Big mistake.
Huge.
Now I'm struggling to get my ankle braces on, and sitting, once again, is the enemy.
Lesson learned.
I got stuff to do!

I needed cinnamon rolls for the craft fair on Saturday, so I made cinnamon rolls for the craft fair on Saturday.

Also picked up 3 potential new participants, so, yay!

What a heartbreaker.
They should hold their heads up high for the way they played through the entire season.
I'll look forward to watching them win it all next year.
Win or lose, I'm a Jays fan for life.

Hot take:
Before you jump all over someone for not protesting and screaming about what's going on, consider this:
Some are too busy trying to survive, and to do that takes every ounce of energy and focus they have.
Sometimes, just making it through the day is an act of rebellion.
