My hopes for this year are pretty basic / making it to 2025 unscathed (side of maybe a couple of bumps and bruises)
let's have us a good one Z, Happy New Year

I'm a goat, or in some interpretations, sheep. Oddly enough, sheep are considered good matches with pigs, or in some interpretations, boar.

Kind of explains a lot about the movie Babe.

Here is a pic of my kitty Kitt ( don't tell his brother Katt, but, I favor him a little...lol) in his favorite place, sleeping under the tree and resting his head on one of the manger pieces ( actually between a shepherd and one of the wise men...) he loves sleeping under the tree and with all the presents still out he couldn't get in the back to do that...I need a pic of Katt sleeping in his new bed, which he loves...

I completely understand - I was with what I believed was a fire breathing dragon, totally out of control and wild Aries.
There was something I really liked about her, but it wasn't worth sticking around and guessing her next move.
Last time I saw her she was running in from the kitchen with the biggest butcher knife we had

No, and I'm still broke up about it. He was such a nice kitty.

In other news, I didn't work today because I'm having terrible pain in my right hip. Went to urgent care and had it x-rayed but didn't find anything. They gave me some Flexeril which doesn't seem to have done much. I'm afraid it's a herniated disc. I'm off until probably next Monday and hope to find out more by then.

I hope it isn't serious...I am having terrible back issues now, and I have this new pain above my right hip, that I am afraid will mean hip replacement...gah...then there is my going blind in at least my left eye..sigh...sucks getting old..hoping yours is treatable and doesn't last long ( wouldn't an X-Ray show that?.

If it's a herniated disc then it would require an MRI, which I would need to have a referral for. We'll see how I'm doing after a few days rest and maybe some physical therapy.
