catch a nasty virus...

So I've never had a problem with it before, but twice in two days I've gone to hit up my f-list and been hit with the Security Tool virus/malware trying to get me to dload it. And it's only happened when I've gone to look at my f-list. :(

Gonna have a bit of a holiday from Heaven and Joe... she's gone up to Aucks for the Greenday concert and to see her dad. And when she gets back she's staying at her grandma's until the 23rd, when Alan is dropping Joe off there and they're off to the South Island until the 2nd. I imagine Joe is going to be hanging around upstairs a lot in the meantime... he tends to get bored if she's not around and wants to socialise with his dad. And usually Alan is trying to wind down for the day/week and just wants quiet time.

But anyway, even though they're gone for Christmas, Chris, Tarns, Jess, Jaylen (sp?) & Kaylee (Chris' twins that are visiting from Aus), Dani & Bella are coming down for Christmas. Lochy and Jasmine are going to be at their dad's. So not all seven of the grandbabies thank goodness. Jon said he might come over to see us, but then again he and his Jess may just have a quiet day together.

And then my dad is coming down on New Years, not quite sure if my brother is coming down at the same time or slightly differently, but they're both leaving on the 4th, so I will get to see my brother for a couple of days there... He's coming to visit from Japan from today til the 8th of Jan, his first visit back in 2 1/2 years. I wasn't sure I'd get to see him since we weren't getting up to Hamilton this year, but instead he and dad are coming my way, yay! (See, people need to come visit me more often, because otherwise I get all resentful when they ask if/when I'm going to come visit.)

As if that was our only time hosting, Alan's mum wants to come and visit for a couple of days during there somewhere. We were going to have her sometime between Christmas and New Years, and then Dad sprung his and Iain's holiday plans on us, and so she's going to have to wait just a little bit longer. I wonder how she's going to handle our couches--she's fairly short (not as short as Alan's mum-by-law Ma Clamp, but still short) and they're quite high... without shoes on my feet are about a centimetre off the floor if I'm sitting upright. But they are cushy as all hell. I suppose there's always the divan bed, if she can handle no back support. Hell, just maybe we'll borrow one of Joe's chairs from his lounge suite.

Anyhow... feeling quite upbeat and productive. I shaved my legs (sooo hairy which is wrong in these sunny warm times) as I chose to wear a dress today and yeah... no one wants to see that. (Alan looked up the 3 month weather projection, and fucking La Niña is gonna make it a shitty summer. :( Not happy.) But I also did the last three nights dishes, two loads of laundry, and compiled the shopping list with extra baking stuff for Christmas treats.

Last night we gave Gratch a flea bath. Not only is she shedding like crazy with summer starting, but she was really dirty, AND she had fleas. Of course, the big reason she's so dirty is that she thinks the planter boxes on the balcony with extra potting mix are her new litter boxes. The one with the capsicum plants got completely tore up. But anyway, bathed her, with made her cry, but washed off a lot of dirt and hair, and hopefully killed some fleas. We'll also be getting her another collar.

Life is good...

Fin.
