I'm going to try not to think about the evaluation, counseling, and price tag until it's an impending threat. It could be triggering and I need to keep my stress level low.

I clipped Dottie and Buddy's nails yesterday. They were long overdue. Turns out Buddy just needed a manicure to get the High-5 right lol. It's hilarious. I'm going to have to do Rocky's nails today. He's a BIG BOY at 26lbs. He's a baby and he puts up a terrible fight. I can only clip a couple of nails at a time before he flips out, bucks me, runs and hides. It might take 2 days to finish his.

I also wrapped my nephews' presents. That's when you start to hate having cats... they're all over everything.... the presents, the paper, the tape, the tags, the cellophane from the wrapping paper tube.... They try to chew, paw at, and walk all over everything. But the presents are safe now, and packed up to be brought to the post office Saturday. I don't care if they chew the shipping box.
We stopped putting up a tree a couple of years ago. It got to be too much trouble with the three cats.

Today I'm going to get started on the Christmas cards we're sending out. I used to send a lot, but most of my friends stopped contacting me after my s/s attempt. I can sign my husband's name to to the cards for the few of my family members my husband can tolerate, but I'm only addressing the envelopes for the cards to his family members. They don't want anything to do with me because my husband and I were separated for 4mo last year, and because they don't support his decision to reconcile with me (we've been back together since January) in light of my mental health issues. It's painful. I doubt he'll think it's appropriate for me to sign my name on the cards. He can sign them himself when he gets home.
