IUD, of course.

I got some stuff done around the house, including a nice afternoon nap, then made a quick trip to Walgreen's for miscellaneous stuff, including some critter food. It gets used up fast when half the local possum and raccoon populations stop by for evening snacks.

Just one day left of 2010.

I have no plans for anything out of the ordinary tomorrow evening. I'm not even sure I'll stay up late to be awake when the New Year arrives (more or less.) My across-the-street nieghbors always have quite a fireworks display for the new year. Pete passed shortly after midnight of 2000. When I came home they were busily lighting up the sky.

At first I was a bit annoyed, then realized that--in a sense--it was also a send-off for him.

With the anticipated fireworks tomorrow, I'm sure the cats will be inside most of the evening. There are times when being domestic is very very good--when it's raining, snowing, or fireworks are being shot off.

Think I'll see what the late news has to say.

I may put out extra stuff for the critters--maybe even several cut-up apples as a special treat. The cats couldn't care less about apples, but raccoons think they are pretty good. (I don't know about possums.)
