December Brings in the Bad News

December has definitely started off with a bang. I wish that I could say in a good kind of way, but unfortunately, I can’t. First, I found out that people very close to my heart might need major operations for one thing or the other. I’m trying to remain positive, but being a person who usually sees the glass as half empty, it’s been really hard. If one of these people were to take a turn for the worse, I would be devastated. Let’s hope it doesn’t lead to hospital stays and that they fully recover.

Secondly, there is a huge water hole on my ceiling in the kitchen because of the renovations going on in the upstairs condo. The lady who lives there and I have already gotten into a heated spat, so I really hate that I have to deal with her again. I hope that the Contractor remains as nice and willing to help to fix the damage as he has been, or else the bitch in me is coming out. Tomorrow, I will have to call my condo association. Grr…..

The insomnia is still there. I have huge black circles under my eyes that keep getting progressively worse. It’s gotten to the point where the black circles are now bulging out. I need to call my doctor so she can up my sleeping pill dose to the point that it can knock down a horse.

The only good news is the coming of Christmas and the wonderful movies, songs, and events that occur in this wondrous time. I decorated my tree, and I am now buying everyone’s gifts. Here are some pics:

Green Polar Bears?

This is a cute story
clipped from news.yahoo.com
Three normally white polar bears at Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens in central Japan changed their color in July after swimming in a pond with an overgrowth of algae.
High temperatures in July and August and less-frequent water changes because of the zoo‘s conservation efforts caused an algae growth in the bear pond and safety moat, Kurobe said.
Algae that enters hollow spaces in the bears’ fur is hard to rinse off, he said.
The bears are expected to return to their natural color when the algae growth subsides in November, Kurobe said.
