Random Thoughts about life in general, living in the big city of Toronto

Poor pathetic looking tiny tiny wet kitten!
I think cats are one of the funniest looking creatures when wet.Â
They look scrawny, tiny (and this kitten really is tiny!) and their eyes look abnormally HUGE. The big whiskers and ears don’t help all that much either.
Isn’t this a cute picture though? I wonder why such a young kitten needed a bath?

I have no idea what kind of animal this is … maybe a small marsupial?
My other thought is that it might even be a bat. Either way, I think it’s adorable.
It’s big round eyes and ears pointed out to the side remind me of the look my dog Midnight gives me when she’s trying to figure out something that I’m telling her.
I swear that my Labrador Retriever, Midnight, believes in the Food Fairy.
Oh sure she knows where food comes from … you know, the top of the fridge (dog cookies), the fridge, the dog food bin under the table, the kitchen counter (mmm carrots!), occasionally our plates (tender pieces of chicken breast), and of course the kitchen cupboards.
Still, she’s convinced that there’s some other magical place that food comes from … I’m sure of it.
Why?
Well, you see, whenever Chris or I take her outside for a walk the first thing she does when she comes back in the house is to run into the kitchen to check her food bowl. Sometimes she actually finds food in her bowl and I’m sure she must wonder where the heck it came from … hence the reason I think my dog believes in the Food Fairy.
When food magically appears in her bowl what actually happened is that Chris or I stayed in the house and perhaps ate a granola bar while the dog was out and then placed the crumbs in her bowl. Or maybe I was preparing dinner when Chris took her out and I placed some veggie scraps (piece of tomato, carrot, cucumber etc) in her bowl as a surprise.
Ever since she started receiving these magical food offerings, which happen very rarely I might add, she’s always made a habit of checking her food bowl every single time she comes back in from outside.
Does your dog believe in the food fairy too?
BTW I’m still waiting for the money fairy to make a surprise visit to our house!
I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of my visitors and regular readers a very Happy Christmas and Happy Holidays.
I hope that you’re able to spend some time with close family and friends during the holiday season.
Now remember … don’t decorate the dog (or cat). They don’t make good Christmas ornaments …
Even if they are awfully cute!  That’s one sad looking dog though, isn’t it?
We’ll be spending some time with the in-laws today. Chris’ brother came up from Chicago with one of his sons so we’ll be getting together with the gang for a Christmas meal and at some point over the next few days we’ll have a house full of guests!
I have to admit that over the last few years – since I’ve been so sick (with Crohn’s) and since losing both of my parents I don’t have a lot of Christmas spirit. However I try to make the best of it and try to cherish time with friends and family. That’s what the holidays are for, right?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!

Lip plumping gone too far …
I think this is a case of too much Restyline! I wonder if the intention was to look like a clown?
I’m a nurse and for a short while I worked for a plastic surgeon (training as an ER nurse at the same time which amounted to working 7 days a week for 8 months!).
Plumping up the lips was just starting to be a craze at the time so I saw a fair amount of women coming in regularly for Restyline injections. Thankfully the doctor I worked with never over did the plumping, but immediately after the injections some of the women did look a little like this.
