Happy Holidays!

Words

A cat died on my watch today.

I work at a vet clinic, and a cat died after a routine neuter/declaw. I did all the things I was supposed to, but after surgery it slipped away. Dr. did all the calls, and I'm not in trouble (my coworkers assure me these things happen). So that's the end of it.

I saw the owner cuddling this cat right before we took it into the back. I feel a lot worse for him than I do for the cat.

Happy Cthulhu-mas

Happy Cthulhu-mas! Here's a list of handy tips and tricks to placate the elder gods this happy holiday season.

1. Serve your guests sushi: it's both an homage to the dark one, and a healthy treat!

Or he'll be horribly offended. Whatever.

2. Don't forget to include the children!

3. Dress for success at work!

4. Always ask yourself...

5. Don't forget the festive attire!

Things I want to do on my Florida Vacation

As many of you know, my father in law lives in Florida. His extremely generous Christmas present for Bahamute and myself is a pair of round trip tickets to Florida. So, the last week of January, we're heading down!

At my husband's request, I'm putting together a list of things I'd like to see/do while there. Frankly, just seeing the FiL and getting out of the cold will be great. But it doesn't hurt to have plans!

Food

•  The Seafood Shack. Really, any seafood place. I love seafood. Mmm

Attractions

• ...Wow, every park costs $100 a day, even for residents. Hm. Nevermind.

Whelp, I'm out of ideas.

Five Quick Scary Stories

I had went into the supposedly “haunted” house as a dare. I didn’t believe in these things, and it was a sweet fifty dollars. All I had to do was to make it to the top and flash my torch.

So in I went.

The instant I entered, I wanted out. It was as though the house was sensitive to touch, its floorboards protesting my presence. But I swallowed my fear and continued.

I wish I hadn’t.

I made it to the third floor. A great crash echoed from behind, and I turned to see a shaggy beast with long black fur dash out from the dark. Its red eyes were terrifyingly vivid admist the night, like laser points. I remember screaming.

I ran, faster than I did in my entire life. I remember running into a junction and hesitating for a second on which way to turn. I remember it catching up. I remember running left.

I remember it howling “DON’T RUN THAT WAY!” as it fled towards the right, and another set of footsteps starting picking up pace from behind.

Recently, my five-year-old daughter hasn’t been sleeping well. Tonight, while I was putting her to bed, I asked her about it.

"Jenny, you’ve been sleepy lately. Have I been leaving your nightlight on too bright? Do I need to turn it down?"

"No, Mommy." she answered. "It’s just that sometimes the man in the corner keeps me awake sometimes because he watches me."

I was shocked.

"What does the man in the corner look like?" I asked, trying to keep my voice level.

"He doesn’t have any skin." she responded, unperturbed.

Needless to say, she will be sleeping in my bed tonight.

My dog bit a kid in the face so we had to kill it…

Because if we didn’t, we were pretty sure he was going to tell his parents.

She’s a monster before she has her morning coffee, so every day he prepares it for her: strong espresso, with two spoonfuls of powdered blood.

I get home and the TV is on one of those stupid found footage shows with a creepy little girl swaying back and forth in the dark so I hit the power. The TV turns on.
