scary merry xmas!

here we are already counting down the last days till xmas, it feels as if winter is breezing by too fast? perhaps due to my many stresses these days? we have all survived having our new roof & gutters installed, which i now think of as a rite of passage to becoming old, truly, the shock of the price alone aged us here, let alone the days of work over our heads & then the water torture of rain dripping over the head of my bed into a brand new metal downspout..
& the unreal event of hearing our skylights literally fly off of the house when the first gusts of east winds from the gorge came in.. i feel traumatized at best, but i'm still here, apparently.. our house is becoming perhaps fittingly, like the wonderland mystery manor, with strange & increasing modifications to our household in an attempt to stay a step ahead of our tiny gremlin, alice.. the most curious of kitties, who must leap to every height & chew each and every curious object she can find.. cord protectors, glass doors on all of our cabinets of collectible curiosities, high shelves & cabinets inside of closets.. curiouser & curiouser..
the last modification was due to her deciding she could probably fly up to the top of the already weirdly high cabinet i kept in my bathroom for jewelry & perfumes, etc.. she in fact could not, resulting in not only her crashing down to the floor but her busting one of the overhead incandescent globe style lightbulbs over the sink there, sending little broken bits of sharp glass & weird white powder everywhere & completely freaking out this poor ocd soul. :o thank goodness raven & mr dad were here to help carefully put everything right.. my hands are so dry with splits & literally bleeding from my raccoon-like hand-washing.. :/
(at least until her next great adventure?) 

so what better way to distract myself from my troubles than to tape a winter 2022 update to my ghost closet antifashion collection? yeah, i'm back.. posted the first portion at the lost & found here, the return of 50 something emily strange.. & there will be several more, as i have fun with the new clothes i don't really get to wear anywhere anymore as i'm regressed to quite the reclusive agoraphobic these days.. of course there will be more not at all boring socks!! & my ads of late make sure i do not run low, that is for certain.. my weakness for boredshopping is well calibrated into whatever formula devises my daily ads.. (click the links for some examples)

oh & i'm still hanging on with fellow resisters over on twitter despite the insanity..
but just in case i've set myself up on post, if anyone else would like to follow? 

more to come in the comments link below as usual..

the ghost closet antifashion winter update continues at the lost & found today - https://friendlyghost.typepad.com/lost_found_vintage_toys/2022/12/ghost-closet-antifashion-kitty-socks-sunday.html
(shh, don't tell, this one has a little visit from alice <3)

these will continue through xmas as i'll be posting right through the end of 2022 there.. there will be sad ghosts, closet skeletons, crying monsters, vampires & migraine monsters i assure you..
& more socks inevitably.

it's frosty cold here with freezing nights, i'd love some more snow? right now my m.o. is to 'stay home, stay well & stay warm'..

scary merry xmas continues as the big storm blows in, high winds all night freaking me out now that i'm worried about things blowing off the house..
no sleep & a migraine to top it off, barometric pressure change can be a trigger :/
we're holiday orphans here which is lonely, but mr dad got to go out for dinner with his oldest friend at the horsebrass pub & i've been in touch with family down in socal at least <3
my ads don't help with my weakness to try & comfort my (toxic) self with cool things: although this one seems like a dangerous cat toy that would probably result in lacerations to my face & throat? https://www.hottopic.com/product/emily-the-strange-cat-tassel-beanie/19370438.html?mr:trackingCode=D2AC5D5B-927E-ED11-8129-0050569437F6&mr:referralID=NA&cm_mmc=DIS-_-CRT-_-273118-_-11001631-_-pch.com
& this one likewise has a toy/tail https://www.hottopic.com/product/skelanimals-kit-the-cat-short-kigurumi/18783105.html?mr:trackingCode=7520AF30-9738-ED11-8127-0050569437F6&mr:referralID=NA&cm_mmc=DIS-_-CRT-_-273118-_-11001631-_-live.com

HaHa! Alice trying to get her tail! :D Is that one of the other kitty's in the photo that she knocked over! She's so cute!Made me smile! =) Poor Jr. with frozen wet food though makes me feel bad (in spite of his heated water bowl =))! I hope he went in the shelter! It's been so cold! Merry Christmas, Bren! <3

that kitty in the photo is miette, one of tabitha pittypats 5 daughters <3 https://friendlyghost.typepad.com/photos/the_kitties/miette-1.html i call that area 'kitty corner' where i have all their photos right where i can always see them right by me ;) spinning in circles to get her tail on the dresser, reckless & being a gremlin! jr's out there for bfast, maybe he gets into the winter shelters? we can't see him in the dark, just during the day, he's got a nice wooly winter coat :D

[Sally]

Awwww...kitty cat corner is a perfect spot for Alice to be playing with her tail. I'm glad you saw Jr. for breakfast. <3

but high winds are back & it seems i wake up & go to sleep in a state of chronic stress, it just never ends, does it? i guess i'm destined to just live in survival mode..
