Happy Winter Solstice

 December 21st

Happy Solstice!  Here are some things from today that made me happy:

• Yesterday was a long day with very little sleep.  I got over five hours of sleep last night which is good for me.
• When I sat to eat lunch in the living room Nanni was cleaning herself next to me on one of the cat trees.  She was meticulously cleaning her paws.  It was adorable. 

• One of my goals today was to repack the Christmas decorations into a new container.  Nanni used the last ones as a scratch post before they made it back into the attic.  Hopefully that won't happen with the new box.  Anyhow, that done, Bel helped me get all the Christmas stuff out of the attic and into the cars.  Those boxes are now at the new house.  I wasn't sure whether or not we would get any holiday items displayed at the new house this year.  Keziah was off with a friend this afternoon and while she was away, some of us (mostly Bel and Corvidae) put up lights and some other decorations to surprise Keziah with. 
• Corvidae and I went online and found some trees for sale and went to get one.  The picture is us after we got the tree strapped to the roof of her car.  

• Keziah was pleasantly surprised, but she and Zed brought Nanni and Winston to the new house so she wasn't able to spend time decorating the tree.  Tomorrow I'll go back and hopefully we can all put some decorations on the tree.

• Keziah and Zed brought the cat trees to the house too.  One of them was left downstairs at the new house and our housemate's cats claimed it pretty fast.  Integration between all the pets will be interesting. 

I don't know if I spelled their names correctly. 

• The new house has a treadmill.  We moved it to make space for the tree and then I got some steps on there.  I don't like that it seems to automatically decide what the user wants to do.  Going up hill suddenly and adjusting my speed are things I prefer to do myself.  Once I find a manual online for that I'll figure out how to do my own walks on there.
