I'm pretty deep in the winter blues I get this year. Getting out of bed is difficult, a get a bit testy at work, depressed and sometimes lazy to the point of lethargy. All I can do is wait for the end of it in March.

AN update on Keeshaba and the lump on her rump...
I have scheduled surgery to have the lump excised in February. Needle aspiration samples have not given us info on the growth, whether it is a lipoma or a benign tumor. The vet is recomending that we have it removed, so as I say, surgery has been scheduled. She is not appear to be in any discomfort, indeed she is a chipper and active as she can be, for a 9 year old.

But this is a major medical expense that Skwirl and I are going to have a lot of trouble keeping up with.... I am trying a thing I really don't feel comfortable to do, and that's to ask for charity. I have set up a GoFundMe site to ask If anyone can help: just a little bit, I will be thankful, Skwirl will be thankful, and especially Keeshaba will Thank You!
