Another Christmas Gone

When I get home from work this morning, I'm going to take down my tree. I usually leave it up until after the New Year, but it's messing up my feng shui. I had to move some stuff into my bedroom to make room for the tree and can hardly make it to my bed. The cats will miss that tree. I was eating dinner in my recliner last night when suddenly a yellow tree decoration went flying through the air at a height of about seven feet -- closely followed by a black Persian cat. Luckily, all my ornaments are unbreakable. Gwen is one big cat. She can look out the window just by standing on her hind legs and putting her paws on the windowsill. And when she kneads my chest while I'm brushing her, if feels like a Japanese woman is walking on me. Once the tree is back in the closet, I'll have an empty space to put all the video components that I'll remove from my old entertainment center. Then, I move that across the room and replace it with my new video center. Next step, find some dupe to take the old one off my hands. My building no longer disposes of furniture, so I'll have to find someone who will take it for free. I'm going to try to get my apartment into reasonable shape before the New Year -- a Filipino superstition to which I was subjected for 24 years. I still plan to get a 55-gallon aquarium to replace the 30-gallon tank I got when I first moved here. It was the first expensive thing I bought in my new job. Then, I'll be ready for 2007.
