    My poor cat is doing his best. It's all come as such a shock. He had a lovely time a Christmas and now he's struggling so much. I feel very lucky that he seems better in the mornings and still wakes me with his usual greeting of nose bumps and nose cleans. I guess he's trying to take care of me too. He's such a sweetheart.

    The last 24 hours have been awful 😿 My cat hasn't been himself. I took him to the vet and it's not good news. He has a tumor and he's very sick. Honestly I thought I'd never bring him home after the call from the vet. I spent nearly two hours crying. They've given him steroids to hopefully control the symptoms. I'm so grateful for this time with him.

    I wish the best for your cat. I lost a cat to cancer before. I know how you feel.

    Thanks again everyone. My cat had quite a rough night and there didn't seem to be much I could do to comfort him. He eventually curled up in the corner and I tried to keep an eye on him while I was in bed. I woke up and he seems to be feeling better today. He did his morning greeting to me, where he licks my nose and rests his head against mine. It seems like a good sign :-)

    I think I may have this as my new years drink :-) I've been having too much fizzy soda these past few days 😸

    Hot chocolate taste pretty good. I have had a few cups recently myself.

    It's one of those drinks I don't often have but it looks like it will be very nice :-) I don't drink alcohol so I guess it will be something a little different :-)

    Well... I did it! Everything done and prepared for Christmas before 11pm! That has to be something of a record! Time for a long bath I think! :-)

    Today is going to be busy, I need to get a lot done with not much margin for error. Turkey is defrosting, cake needs frosting, things need to be wrapped, rooms need cleaning and if I get the chance, bake some fat rascal cakes! 🙃
    MildredHubble
    The Christmas cake needs a bit longer. Our oven can be a little unpredictable at times. I make this recipe every year and this is the first time it's required a little extra time hopefully another 40-50 minutes. Fingers crossed again! :-)

    My Mum was great with cakes but we had to be careful in the house when she was baking, we weren't allowed to make too much noise or slam any doors. "Better yet, why don't you all go and play outside for a while?". :)

    So how'd it turn out?

    MildredHubble
    It turned out just right I think! 🙂 My phone started running out of battery so I didn't get a chance to post an update 🙃 It's all cooled down now so the next stage is the icing. I usually apply a layer of jam and then marzipan, then another later of jam and finally some fondant icing :-)

    I've decided today is going to be a lazy day full of kitty cuddles and not much else :-)

    From America currently snuggling with my Manx tabby. The other cat (not sure what kind she is) just emerged from the dresser drawer where she was nesting, and wandered off.

    I had a tabby when I was a child. He was an orange tabby. My brother brought him back from Sicily.

    There are few things in life that can compete with kitty cuddles @Gerontius, except maybe the holidays combined with kitty cuddles 😸 @FayetheAspie you had a globe trotting orange tabby :-) My cat has a few orange accents around his face. My first cat as a child was an orange cat too :-)

    My thrift store find for this week! I think I'm going to read my cat the story of when Piglet meets a Heffalump. I think he'd like that one :-)

    I like Eeyore, I can relate to him right now. I'm also just like Tigger with my hyperactivity and Piglet with my anxiety lol

    That's so cool, great find! I love getting complete collection books. I usually look for graphic novels and books like this. I need to start sharing some of my more interesting thrift store finds. My most recent purchase was a new with tags pair of Levi's shorts in my size for $1. Love thrift stores.

    Reading to your cat, that's so sweet. Pets love the sound of their human's voices :)

    If you are in the UK I hope this storm hasn't caused you any trouble! The wind is pretty ferocious here and I'm not in the area of the country that has the really bad winds! I really hope it will be over soon! Stay safe!

    I spent this evening fixing up an iMac as a Christmas gift for our friend. I bought a super cheap SSD thinking it was worth a try, on Amazon. I'm super impressed, it loads apps in a nano second! I guess I need to change my opinion on cheaper SSD drives! :-)

    Who knows where I grabbed this picture from?

    It's a fantastic guess @RESleight but in this specific case it's not the right answer as crazy as it sounds! But when I saw it, it was even funnier in context! 😸

    Let's say you are both right and wrong 😸

    I will let everyone in on the secret 😸 In this specific case, the image is from an episode of The A Team. It is actually footage from Airplane! but not technically taken from it. It's spliced in at the end of the episode where Murdoch has to help Hannibal land a plane while he's blinded. Seeing it was the most hysterically funny thing I've seen this year! 😸 It was the last thing I was expecting.

    It's soooo cold! And I can't find my slipper socks! 😐

    That sounds so nice! But I also think I would probably melt. I seem to be made for a very specific range on temperature lol! :-)

    My domestic "pirate radio station" has been pretty good tonight. We've had Ry Cooder, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Tori Amos and Tom Petty :-) I wonder what's next! :-)

    Yo, @MildredHubble , I found myself a new jam, I think you might like it. "We Know Something You Don't Know" by DJ Format. Every time I listen to it with headphones and/or some good delta, I see, like, retro video game-style music videos in my head lol.
    MildredHubble

    Thanks @UberScout :-) I will check it out :-) I do like pixel art and old computers and video games :-) It would be quite cool if I find it has the same effect on me :-)

    Feeling rather sick 🤢 I seem feeling very headachey and ill after eating tomato based food, like soup. My head is pounding and like I'm going to be sick. I just had some sweet earl grey tea and I think it might be helping a bit :-) My girlfriend makes lovely tomato soup but I seem to react to it 😕

    Oh dear...as an emetophobe I have great sympathy for you. I hope you're feeling better now.

    I've been watching the 90s version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Anyone remember that? It's a bit strange watching it now, it seems strangely old fashioned in it's references, even for the time. I remember it had an episode with the Violent Femmes featured in it. Not exactly the trendiest band considering. But it reminds me of a time where things were briefly good in my life and it's nice to revisit it :-)

    I have watched it a number of times, but it wasn't a favourite of mine, as you can imagine.

    i didnt even have attention span to follow a plot for a childrens show like that, but it seemed alright, id have watched it if i watched that kind of thing

    if i watched it now, id probably have unwarranted nostalgia and pretend i always loved it and things were better back then! :D
