Christmas day

Yay, I'm still awake. I did take an hours nap at some point, but I think it probably did me more bad than good - but I just had to do it anyway.

Apparently my stomach has a very strict internal clock - my sister told me that she had the problem when she came back from Vancouver last summer that for few days she couldn't eat anything during the day because it made her nauseous but could in the night... and now I'm just the same. I can eat a little bit, but it makes me very nauseous - on the other hand I was quite happy to eat when I woke up half past three this morning.

So today has been spent mostly nodding off. I went to the sauna in the morning with my mom (as Dragon was too out of it to even consider it) and I've been following the life of birds at the bird feeder - some beautiful bull finches and other small birds, plus couple of squirrels. My dad has been trying for years now to make the bird feeder squirrel-safe but with little success - this year's invention is a slippery floppy roof, but once it had some snow on it the (bigger) squirrels are quite happy to hang on either to the rope or the ceiling with their back feet and then munch on the nuts and seeds upside-down. The smaller ones like this little fellow in the photo have to do with the seeds on the ground.
