I managed to get the stuff from the attic but that is all so far. | Well, I'll bet nobody wants to "mess with you all" with all those guys hanging around or at least on call! I thought the neighbor's barking dogs were bad but a loud, live band playing next doors!!! Oh, that is just nothing you can use "white noise" to blot out, is it?
Hey, getting all the stuff out of storage is half the battle! You have definitely made progress! I would have my Santa Claus figure in here but there is so much "stuff" in front of him in the hobby room, I just don't want to go through the hassle of moving all of that yet! Ugh! Then I have to get that big lug - I mean Santa - all the way down the hall and through the living room corner and into the den without a hand dragging against something, scratching it or somehow messing him up. Then I have to get him all "refreshed", his clothes fluffed up, puffed out, smoothed, his wig and beard brushed and refit on, his Santa hat fixed and put on just so. It has to sit to one side a bit and the tassel hang just right and all of that just takes about 2 hours. So far, I just haven't had the spine, and by that I mean courage, to do it - AND LISTEN TO THE BARKING TIBBE ENJOYS DOING FOR A LOT OF THE TIME I'M WORKING.
Tibbe has a good deal to say about all of the Santa-dragging and the very fact of him. That big strange kind of human-looking thing terribly offends Mr. Tibbs!!! After I'm all done and showering, redressing, relaxing, Tibbe is all over Santa, sniffing him out and inspecting him endlessly for the first day, even trying to stand up against his leg to smell. Frequently there are serious growls and Yorkie threats issued for the rest of the day and the next. I've been awakened in the middle of the night by Tibbe down in the den barking at Santa Claus the first couple of days he's up. So, it's something you really have to be "up" for, getting Santa Claus into this den beside the tree! |
