Christmas with raddidge was relatively short. She had a tough couple of weeks and needed alone time so she asked me to leave on Christmas night or Aftermath morning. I left Christmas night.
I got good stuff for Christmas. Jaybird and maribou got me a bookshelf. My father sent me an issue or two of Weird NJ, my mother sent me a crucifix and I also got a pair of black pants and a Weird NJ calendar. raddidge asked me if there was enough weirdness in New Jersey to constitute such a magazine. I told her it only comes out twice a year and there's been a lot more going on in New Jersey than other states.
Spot got the best gift ever. A hemp pillow full of catnip. Man, she was very mellow on the ride home. raddidge got me The Monkeywrench Gang, the two disc Rock and Rule DVD. Among the gifts was a Frank Sinatra CD of Christmas songs. Two books of brain teasers, a bike repair manual, various teas and a tin of tea biscuits along with a little ceramic teapot. Finally there's a Texas Hold 'Em for Dummies set, a tin of Pick-Up-Sticks/Jacks game, various cat toys and treats.
The last gift and biggest gift is a clear plastic garbage can with a lid that'll be used to keep Spottle's kibble fresh rather than staying in the bag and getting stale over time.
Whoops, I forgot to mention I got socks.
I am happy and I am content. Here's hoping that the Spottish lass joins me sometime tonight.
I know it's stupid and materialistic but I do hope that she really likes her gifts. I know her face was bright red from laughing at the robot survival manual.
