You need more than One Plan B-part 1

Hello, We hope everyone had a lovely holiday season. Did your felines have lots of extra cuddles, treats, and maybe a present? Our plans changed several times. My family get together was shuffled to a later date which meant I would be spending Christmas alone but with Emily and Willow. My plans for Christmas were quiet but relaxing. I would go for a Christmas Eve Service, eat some treats, and open the cat's gifts after. On Christmas Day, there would be a Christmas walk, a Christmas rose, a visit with a friend, and I would open a fun present I bought online.
Unfortunately, a week before Christmas I came down with the holiday flu. My plans were cancelled. I did go for a Christmas walk but it tuckered me out. More importantly, Emily and Willow opened their present--see above photos! I found a self heating cat blanket online. Emily uses is the most. I also opened my Christmas gift to myself. I purchased it and a kind relative wrapped it for me. I felt like a kid waiting for the opportunity to open my new book.
It was a hoot! Perfect for someone who was being a sofa sloth and shivering and coughing. The cranky cat book isn't very long, but it is fun.
Winter has come early this year and there is alot of snow in my area. Brrrr... This flu is slowly going away but it sure is taking it's swee time. I'm hoping to get in a visit to your blogs within the next while!

  3. How awful to get the flu at the holidays. Some of our family got sick, too. It always interrupts the fun.

    I'm glad you are getting better and glad the cats enjoyed their gifts. Your new book looks fabulous.

  4. It's a good thing you had two sweet kitties to spend Christmas with. Sorry to hear you were so sick because the flu can be such a mess. Hope you are feeling much better by now and that you get together with your family. When you do it'll be a welcome visit.

  5. I'm sorry you were sick over Christmas, am glad you're starting to feel better now.

    The heated cat bed is purrfect for this winter, which is more a typical Canadian winter than we've had in recent years. And finding the cranky cat looks like a fun, easy way to engage one's brain. 🙂 I'm going to use "sofa sloth", it's a great expression!

    Take care and I hope you're back to 100% soon. 💕

  6. Oh, how awful to have the flu at the holidays. I know others this has happened to and heard stories of how miserable it is. I hope you are fully recovered. (There is something fun about doing Christmas a little late (she said from past experience!)
