I Ain't Afraid of No Daleks

Well, have had two offers of taping The Runaway Bride...fantastic! Something to make my days seem brighter--and they aren't going to be brighter unless I find that second job to keep my lights/heat on....but Doctor Who always makes me feel better, after watching it, always.

It's a bit dark and gloomy, this morning--still a wee bit of snow in the grass and on cars...but mostly wet and dull and grey out there. Hope the sidewalks aren't too icy as I walk to the big ol' CNA building down the way, for yet another fun day in the world of telemarketing and collections. I will remember to bring my aspirin, today, ha-ha. Off into the fun world of listening to the nastier side of American culture--the one they usually don't show in the movies or on tele. But sometimes, I get to make some elderly or poor person's day a bit less lonelier or maybe give them a smile--tho' I can't see it, I can hear it in their voices--and that makes taking all the massive verbal abuse for 10 hours, at 8 lousy 75 an hour, worth it (okay, sometimes worth it).

Okay, good thing I washed out some of those dirty knickers (I mistakenly thought city laundromats would be open the day before Christmas, remember)...'cause I was supposed to get up an hour eary and grab a cab to do my washing...but idiot girl forgot to re-set her alarm--so instead of getting up at 5:30, I got up at my usual 6:30...damn. Oh, well, there's always tommorrow..and I have a pair of clean trousers left and a blouse, so it's not like I have to re-wear something to the office, anyhow.

I had best get to the washing tommorrow--if nothing else, because if you open either of my two closets--it's a bit like a comedy, all the dirtys come pouring out.

(Also NOT a photo of my cat-- no camera)

Well, there I was, standing at the window, looking out at the wet snow--it began again, a while ago, and now there's a bit coating the grass and trees.

Anyway, I look down...and there's my fat (as in a Zepplin with fur) ginger and white Tom, Bonnie Prince Charlie, sitting staring longingly up at me, with his paw raised--and at his feet is the little wand with the string and colourful shiny tassels at the end. Awwww! It was sooo--cute! He loves his toy! It's very similar to one he used to play with (and was quite addicted to) when he was a wee kitten...he grew bored with it one day, so I stopped buying those sort of toys for him...but I guess he's feeling nostalgic for his kittenhood or something, because the joy on this cat's face over the gift of this toy...well, I don't have children, but the cats do sometimes act like one. The other two love it, wel...but Charlie's just a bit possessive of it--one of the other cat's comes near it, and he slaps his paw over the string! It's a real hoot!

So, it's exactly ten pm, here in the US, Christmas will be officially over in exactly two hours from now. Pity, that. Boring as it was, I did need the rest and a time out from my troubles--and I certainly got that today--and a bit of bad heartburn, as well---had my cheap mock Shepherd's pie, followed by some shortbread and coffee for dessert, and now I'm paying the price, ha=ha. I wil say something about tinned stew--trying to find the meat in it, can be a bit of an adventure, ha-ha.

Looked out the window, a while ago, expecting merely to see the wet street below, reflecting the orange street lamps---and....it was snowing! Great big lovely flakes of snow! On Christmas night! Hoo-ray! Great way to end Christmas of '06, ey? Of course, it went back to rain, after a bit...but still...it was nice to see--like a Christmas prezzie from God!
