Our tree trimming was put off by the cat getting caught in the garage door incident. Yes he was, and it was awful. I had gone out there to see if the door was down or not, and as soon as I opened the door I heard this terrible yowling. All I could see is the cats neck and head trapped by the door. As soon as I opened the garage door, he immediately began doing these strange gyrations and flips, before disappearing. We wanted to take him to the animal hospital, but catching him was not happening.

Now these doors are supposed to stop if someone enters when the door is engaged. We’ve tested it and I am not sure why it failed. The poor cat is so traumatized it won’t go near the garage. We weren’t really up for decorating after this, but we tried for Gia.

We wound about six strands of lights around the tree, only to forget to leave the plug handy. Oops,  it was okay though because we managed to work it down to connect to our surge protector strip. Now it was time for the decoration, or the “ballies” as Gia calls them. I carefully unwrapped the large handblown blue favorite and went to put it high up, when my dear husband tells me to let him do it. Silly me, I hand it over and CRASH. Oops, he tells me , it slipped.

Why is it the ONE ornament out of so many to break is the most expensive? What are the odds? Anyway, we decided to save the rest of it for later. Much later. More to come……..we’ll get this tree trimmed yet.
