Today is the twelfth day of Christmas. Unfortunately, I do not see any drummers or partridges or swans or anything.. Oh, well. Not sure why people are so eager to be over with Christmas. We always took the tree down on the twelfth day, Epiphany, the day the wise men showed up. Present day in some cultures, cause those guys brought gifts. I do not celebrate a religious holiday, though, just a winter solstice, days will be getting longer kind of thing.
Have been really struggling with pain, which is why I am not posting much, in case anybody noticed. Hard to think when you are in a lot of pain. Living on Celebrex and Tylenol, which really do not help all that much. Am applying to get more help, but the government only helps the really, really rich, and the rest of us can go hang, for all they care. Seems that way, anyway. The hoops you have to go through to get someone to come in for an hour or two a week to do the things you can’t, like cook. Fingers crossed anyway, but even if I qualify for something, I expect it all to be taken away again, including the assistance I already get, once the MAGA’s wishes come true and Trump destroys every one they hate. They will be destroyed, too, because if they think he will skip over them, I don’t want to be there when they find out how very, very badly they have been conned, and how truly important it is not to just believe everything you are told, especially from a proven liar. Denial is not just a rive in Egypt, as they say.
Anyway, time to put Christmas away, except I am not doing that, because my few small decorations just brighten up the winter season, so why not keep them around to cheer me up? I bought a very cute tree after Christmas, cause I missed having one, and Gertrude and trees do not go together. So I paid 4.88 for this tree. It is so teeny and cute, Just like Gertrude used to be.
