Merry Christmas.

Wend up to visit Scott's aunt and uncle and their family for Christmas dinner. It was nice; if it weren't for the other events of December, I would have enjoyed it more steadily, but I still did enjoy it. We left when I started to get worn out. Checked on the cats; they are doing fine. Now home. I expect the rest of this week to be a bit busy, at least until Thursday afternoon (which is when we have the appointment with the lawyer; I'm not sure what to expect after that, to be honest).

I hope that everyone has had as good a Christmas as possible, full of family, friends, and good memories. (Even mine had those things, in spite of the newness of the pain also.)

Good night. Drive carefully, if you're driving.

Question, re cats.

Anyone know the best way (besides closed doors) to confine cats to or from one part of the house? Is there a baby gate, doggy gate, or other barrier that works well? Does it require screws in the wall, or is a free-standing one going to be enough? (Bearing in mind that at least one of the cats is moderately strong and heavy.)
