We were expecting 3-5” of snow last night, but it seemed to have been more of a rain event. It was raining when I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning, we had less than an inch of snow. I’m hoping that the small amount of snow we’ve received is not hiding a layer of ice. I hate when there is a layer of ice below because it makes it deceptively slippery when walking to my car, and it will make it much more difficult to clean the snow off my car so I can actually drive to work.
I’m only working half a day today. I have an audiology appointment this afternoon. Tomorrow, I will be working from home, so this morning is the last time I have to go to the museum until we return from the holiday break on January 2. I need a break from the museum, but I am not sure that next week, which I will be spending in Alabama, will provide the necessary rest (mentally and physically) that I need right now.
Putting all that aside, I owe y’all some Isabella pics. Yes, I said pics, as in more than one, because here are a few Isabella Christmas pictures. The first two pictures are from her first Christmas, which she spent with a coworker while I was in Alabama. The other two are from a few years ago.

What cheeks of delight!
I am pretty confident Isabella will be delighted when you return. A dear friend here can’t go out of state to her son’s house for Christmas because her dog is so terribly frail…
I had written five friends in Louisville about my upcoming visit and only two have responded…so I’m thinking I’ll come back a day sooner…I have to admit the drop in the stock market jarred me!

No tinsel to adorn on your Xmas tree is that just American thing ?✈️

Tinsel is so messy. You can never get rid of it. I never use tinsel.

Another wonderful photo, Joe!! I wonder whether he’s cold. I’d warm him up in my own special fashion.
As for tinsel, I don’t know from experience, but my understanding is it can be dangerous for cats as they’re attracted to shiny things and since it can’t be digested it’ll ball up in the intestine causing a blockage.
