My Favorite Christmas Carol

Stop The Cavalry by: Jona Lewie Lyrics: Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here To say we're doing splendidly But it's very cold out here in the snow Marching to and from the enemy Oh, I say it's tough, I have had enough Can you stop the Cavalry? I have had to fight, almost every night Down throughout these centuries That is when I say, oh yes, yet again Can you stop the Cavalry? Mary Bradley waits at home In the nuclear fall-out zone Wish I could be dancing now In the arms of the girl I love Dub a dub a dum dum Dub a dub a dum Dub a dum dum dub a dum Dub a dub a dum Dub a dub a dum dum Dub a dub a dum Dub a dum dum dub a dum Dub a dub a dum Wish I was at home for Christmas Bang, that's another bomb on another town While Hussar and Jim have tea If I get home, live to tell the tale I'll run for all presidencies If I get elected I'll stop, I will stop the Cavalry Dub a dub a dum dum Dub a dub a dum Dub a dum dum dub a dum ...

Another Christmas Come and Gone

And I say, "Good riddance." It wasn't so bad after all. My brother bought the ham and the rolls, which he brought over a couple of days earlier. DH didn't finish cleaning/ decorating until the wee hours of the morning, and he didn't put the Christmas table cloth on before he quit. Then he didn't actually fall asleep until about 11:00 AM. So it was surprising that he awoke with a start at a quarter to five on Christmas day with so much left to do. After all, he put me to bed around 6:30 AM, and I didn't fall asleep right away, and heard him puttering. Turns out that G and her son didn't make it either. She said today that she fell fast asleep and slept all day. She needed it after five weeks with no days off. Today she told me her next day off won't be until March! I figure she'll be near useless come Groundhog Day. My other brother came over for a visit just after he woke up. He stayed for a cup of coffee then got home to his own din...

"this is the song of mehitabel mehitabel the alley cat ... she claims that formerly her spirit was incarnated in the body of cleopatra ... and now she herds with bums" -archy [ archy and mehitabel by don marquis ©1927] (!@#$%^&*) Actually, I haven't been herding with anybody lately, except DH and G (my care worker). I came home on Sep. 1 and here I sit, alone, again, naturally. I have made it to my Sorority meetings this fall, and to my doctor appointments; and on occasion to the grocery store - other than that I don't get out much. I don't go anywhere, I don't do anything. We had a nice Thanksgiving here; we were joined by my brother and G and her son and his girlfriend. I don't know if we are going to do this again for Christmas or not. I would like to, but DH doesn't seem much into it. I just hate to see another holiday go by where we don't celebrate. It sux. We used to do them up so well. Decorations galore ... b...
