My routine has been compromised by the Christmas holiday and The Captain on a different work schedule for the next week or so. Although I'm a creature of habit, I can be moved in a different direction but need time to adjust.
Our Christmas was awesome . . . not only because it was the first Christmas together for The Captain and I, but for the first time since I became a widow, I actually enjoyed being in a room full of people and felt like part of the real world again. It was great to get together with family and enjoy some quality time that has been a long time coming.
We were presented with a gift from God . . . a sweet kitty showed up out of nowhere and decided to make our yard its home. Little by little, we have introduced him to living indoors and the wild thing is now in the house permanently. He has adjusted nicely after a day of standing by the door so he could chase the poor squirrels.
The one thing I haven't liked is when he proudly appeared with a baby squirrel in his mouth and proceeded to make it a snack while The Captain and I were enjoying a cup of coffee and relaxing in our outdoor dining area. ugggghhhhh it totally grossed me out!

It's nature's way . . . and hastened our decision to make him an inside cat. We both love feeding the squirrels and watching them run around outside. They are as pets too!
As a loyal dog lover, I never had a cat as a pet . . . another adjustment I am getting used to. When he first showed up, I had no idea of how to care for a cat. I'm learning fast! At the moment, we have no idea if Willie the Wonder Cat is male or female . . . we just started calling him Willie and it stuck.
Activities on the domestic front have kept me busy and away from blogging. The time I have spent on the computer has been entering giveaways . . . I've developed a new obsession. The winnings are slowly arriving and I'm thrilled at the concept of receiving these items for free! The more I win, the more time I spend on giveaways.
The Christmas stuff is coming down today . . . we are anxious to get Willie settled into his area and also assemble the exercise bike that is doing neither one of us any good in the box. Lots of changes! We still plan on adopting a dog, but first need to get Willie comfortable in his surroundings.
