that's what I'll be sleeping with apparently. I'm going home for a couple weeks so boarding would be pricey, very pricey. Grandma is still in a home so the cats are moving into her place. This ought to be a horrible drive, four hours with terrified kittens and releasing them into a two story house that they'll probably never want to leave.

So where do the ghosts come in? Grandma thinks the place is haunted. Frankly every time I dream of my grandmother's house it's about something evil and magical in the cistern and in the earthen basement. Grandma has almost never used the living room, especially since the 70's when she ended up alone in that place. Whether or not the living room is haunted is debatable. My great grandmother laid out her husband and Mary and Joseph (two of her children) in that living room. All three died within a week, probably from the flu.

Well before her last fall the bed was put in the living room for the overnight helper (which never happened) and a hospital bed she could more easily get in and out of was put in her bed room. So guess who'll be sleeping in the haunted living room with the cats...

Maybe not me. We shall see. I've never been able to sleep in this house not even in the upstairs bedroom. (though most of it was the lonely sound of a train and the bang of the steam heat that were unfamiliar to me as a kid). I'm more worried about my messed up back and shoulder on that bed. The cats won't be left all alone naturally but more alone than I might want. (mom and dad's cat won't tolerate them so...)

I have no enthusiasm for going home. Still dealing with that piece of me that broke in 2006. I don't know why traveling is causing anxiety but... and then again I lost my enthusiasm for the holidays in this entire decade. so far this decade sucked. I'm hoping the next one is better.

I did get a card from
