Plans: day off
My computer didn’t fire-up this morning as readily as it normally does. I gave it a hard shut-down by unplugging the computer from the wall. I then ran several preventive maintenance programs to insure there was nothing like a “New Years Bug” that exploded overnight.
*Malwarebytes Anti-malware program
*Webroot Anti-malware program

All is well on the cyberspace front.
Donar, Son of Wodan and Erda, husband to Sibba, wielder of Malant and Great God of thunder, thunder forth in our lives. When we would hold back, encourage us to advance. When we would be weak, hearten us be strong. When we would shun life’s pleasures, inspire our appetites for that which is lusty and good. Excite our growth from strength to strength; teach us, elder brother, how to throw our own Hammer, and slay the giants who oppose our will. WE GIVE YOU A MOST HEART-FELT HEIL, DONAR, as we honor the Donar that resides in us all!

Outcome: Chilly, overcast, but without wind, very doable.
Toby misbehaved early on his walk. He KNOWS better than to cross an intersection without me. I put him on the retractable for a while, then gave him another chance. Again, he disobeyed. Two commands he knows and responds to well; that being, “wait” and “go“. When he failed to wait, I put him back on the retractable for the remainder of the walk.
OMGs…excellent time at my niece’s for NEW YEARS CHOP SUEY!
Last week, at the store, I picked up some Southern Comfort vanilla spice eggnog. Today, per instructions, I added one cup of Southern Comfort. Remind me, why don’t people like eggnog? I thought this stuff was pretty damned good.
Essie Yule present from PetSmart has been a hit! It’s a furry, colorful, bell-ringing “thing” on the end of a pole attached to a string. PLUS, there are 5 other colorful “things” that can be interchanged. Yesterday, I noticed her trying to get at them as they dangled over the edge of her cat-tower, which gave me an idea. I kept her obvious favorite on the pole, and attached 5 of the others via a staple gun to the edge of her cat tower. She’s playing so well I want to continue her to play.

Toby is still chewing on his Yule gift.

Socks doesn't care.

Another gift I bought for either Essie or Socks was a little electronic “bug”. Turn on that thing and it just takes off and vibrates forward. It bumps into things and keeps on going. OMGs, I had more fun with it than Socks or Essie. Today, I placed it in a large oval plate just to watch it go round-and-round.
EVERY furry baby in need of attention today.
