    <content type="html">Christmas was nice. Got to visit with mom and grandma and had a nice dinner.  It just didn't feel like Christmas though, in a lot of different ways.  It was 80F here.  In December.  Up where Mike is in the mountains in NJ, they have always had snow by this time of year, but not this year. It was around 50F and Mike said he had the windows open.  It's so warm there were tornadoes in Texas, in winter (bless those poor people ).  I distinctly remember Decembers down in the 20F range with freeze warnings and wearing heavy coats as a kid even in Louisiana. I don't understand how people can keep denying global warming or climate shift.  Anyway, hope everyone had a wonderful holiday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=leopardwolf&amp;ditemid=36526" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Apologies for the delay updating this past month. I ended up staying in NJ longer than expected because I went to meet with a service dog organization for a client interview for a new dog.  I was sick while I was there with a flareup, and came home sick with a sinus infection turned into bronchitis and upper respiratory infection. Went to the doctor and got antibiotics and an inhaler. It's been pretty miserable but I am starting to feel a little better.  That said, I am getting back to work on the projects I left off with and will be sharing progress along the way on Patreon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Christmas / Yule cards are also on the way, for those who asked or sent them last year, since my whole plot of silly "Christmas in July" sort of got botched, they are actually on time for this year's holiday haha.  I think I'll send another batch randomly at some point too just to make up for it. Because we all need cheer year round!  Hope everyone is doing well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=leopardwolf&amp;ditemid=35620" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Hope everyone had a bright and Merry Christmas and happy holidays all around.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We enjoyed a nice day with family at the farm. I cooked dinner the night before to take over, since there isn’t a working full size oven at the farm and the kitchen is super tiny.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Turkey with veggie and stuffing casserole concoction of my own creation, home made cranberry sauce, and home made candied yams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.leopardwolf.com/blogstuff/christmas2014_dinner1.jpg" width="600" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Journey and the cats helped, supervising and cheering me on as I managed to avoid any serious bodily harm in my adventure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.leopardwolf.com/animals/journey_christmas2014_2.jpg" width="600" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=leopardwolf&amp;ditemid=19418" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
