Just one quick bitch, part two

[Jack]

Christmas Kerfuffle!  Wish people would stop giving me cards.  I ceased writing christmas cards ten years ago.

Bah humbug  (I do give fifty pounds to charity instead)

What's wrong with receiving them?

Keep falling off fireplace, shelves, etc. they are just in a pile. 

Even those who have known me for years tend to spell my name wrong. 

Just irksome annoying bits of card.

I do sit down with the urchin and we make cards for grandparents, but that is all.  I don't ever buy them.

Seems an odd thing to be irked by, Christmas wishes.

When did I say that Christmas wishes irk me?  I said I am bothered by  bits of card with misspelled names on that make the room untidy.

That's what Christmas cards are, Christmas wishes.

Just irksome annoying bits of card.

This just struck an odd chord with me. Send a lot of cards, wishing people a Merry Christmas. Husband's family is quite large, many of whom I don't really know and have only met at weddings or funerals. Plus, I'm a horrible speller, so it's entirely possible I may misspell some names. It was just strange to think someone might be saying something like this about me, sending them irksome bits of trash to litter their homes. Not that I expect them to litter their home with my Christmas wishes.

Maybe it's good I didn't bother this year. Here I was worried that might irk some people.

I sent four Christmas cards. I'm pretty sure none of them will be considered trash.

I found out today that my sweet, angel of a beautiful gray leopard/tiger kitty has multiple tumors on both her kidneys. Inoperable. Probably why she has been a bit grouchy, lately.

When this last happened to one of our pets, she lasted about six months. I HATE THIS!!

I was hoping that only giving her bottled water, never this fucking poison Indiana water, would put this type of shit off for a long time. Not to be, I guess.

I had planned to leave her there for a few days (she is not into people things like Christmas and shit anyway), but I got a call at work and they told me there was nothing they could do for her.

I knew she would not live forever, but shit.

Sorry to hear it, mate.

Never really thought of it that way before. Didn't send any at all this year, though the mantle is littered with the ones we received. The bastards.

  I'm sorry.  No matter how much time we have with beloved pets, it's never enough.

  At least the senders are not all in your living room, trying to touch you.

I'm still waiting for my card, Jack.

I'm so sorry DirtDawg.
