Now what?
Well, Christmas was interesting.
We got up and went and opened presents and everything, which was fun, and I got good presents and all.
But then we realized Yeager (Dad's cat) couldn't walk at all anymore and wouldn't eat anything. He was really thin and wasted and just looked like shit. I think Dad knew then that he wasn't going to make it through the day, because he started crying. It was creepy--I'd never seen him cry before. He took Yeager to the vet to see if there was anything they could do and ended up putting him down. Yeah, it was a great Christmas present.
So Dad got home and we all just sat around and were depressed for a while, and then we tried to pretend everything was normal and had Christmas dinner. It was really weird seeing Dad so bent out of shape--I mean, I don't blame him at all, but I'd just never seen him like that before.
So that was Christmas.
This morning we just sort of sat around until our friend Donna came to pick us up and we went to her house. Her grandkids were there and so we played with them for most of the time. They're cute kids and I had a pretty good time. I can already tell these last few days of vacation are going to be veeeery long--there is nothing to do, and I miss Yeager. :(
