We try to take advantage of any small rise in temperature and go for a little walk. On Sunday, we ventured out to Daley Plaza and one of the holiday markets. We showed Maeve the big Christmas tree. She also got to see the many dirty pigeons who flock to the area.

As you can see, Maeve and Charlie continue to grow closer and we believe that she has sworn allegiance to him. Smart girl. One should always have a black cat on your team. A side note-- yes, sometimes I do remove my eye patch for "glamour" shots such as this one. I can't see at all, but it's worth it (my cranial nerve #6- injured in the epidural accidental spine puncture- continues to malfunction). Because it's glamorous to be in your Hello Kitty pajama pants at 3 in the afternoon. And to not have brushed your hair yet that day. Oh, the glamour.
