Christmas morning
It is cloudy, but looks like the wind is from the south. We may get some snow today and looks like the cold snap is moving on.

I fell asleep early yesterday evening then when I got up late started the K3P3 ribbing on the long navy blue scarf.

I opened the wrapped gifts last night too. My sister sent two skeins of Black Cheviot fine yarn and a cone of sport weight Dorset yarn in midnight blue heather. Both appear to be from farms in the Catskills, glad she is supporting the locals. She sent chocolate too, knows my addictions.

This morning I had a mug of black tea as usual but with some delightful cheesecake, thanks to my brother and sister-in-law sending a hamper of frozen goodies. My relatives understand that the purpose of my diet is to gain weight rather than lose it. Get a laugh out of spam promising 100 lb weight loss -- would probably be fatal for me.

Ling Ling got me up around 7 am. He has been tunneling deep into the blankets on the bed to keep warm and being quite stoic about static electricity zaps - fur makes him a capacitor. How cats suffer...

He did appreciate tasting some of the cheesecake filling.
