Recovering

I’ve basically spent the last day and a half in bed sleeping and reading trashy novels. Getting ready for Christmas always sends me into a state of hibernation immediately afterwards (whether I need it or not), and this year I definitely did.
Everything went well except for Lily getting sick on Christmas Eve. By three in the morning she seemed better after innumerable trips outside (with me standing guard on the back porch to make sure she was okay). She didn’t eat anything for most of Christmas Day, but then the smell of turkey cooking seemed to revive her and she was soon back on her feed. Seeing Lily healthy and happy again was the best Christmas present of all!
