lisaviolet's diary

The Anabella had a special rate for Facebook users, I got one night ($68). Our passes run out on Christmas Day and we won't be renewing. We've been getting annual passes since the eighties, but they've priced them out of our range. Brian's new company is just starting up, he's turning down work for his old company (*sigh*) because he hates it and money is still tight. So, no renewal. On the one hand I'm kind of sad, on the other hand, it's one less thing to feel guilty about ("Gee, we paid all this money for the passes, we really should be going more often" - it's harder for us to do day trips, so we end up staying in a hotel and then there's the expense of gas and food...not renewing will save us more than just the cost of entry). Anyway, it was really crowded. The only ride we went on was Radio Springs Racers, because Brian wanted to get on it at night. The other thing he wanted to do, he's wanted to do this for years, is take a video of the lights coming on. So, we got the video from the hub at Disneyland looking down Main St towards the Christmas tree, it's an hour long. But we got the lights coming on, it should be nice. We left here around eleven on Sunday morning and we left the hotel at 7:17 yesterday morning. We hate leaving the cats anymore, mostly the old ones, like Kirby and Miss. Kirby won't eat dry food. I have to sit with him on the sofa while he eats. When we're gone, he doesn't eat. I know he's not long for the world and I feel bad when I'm not hear to feed him. Brian even mentioned coming home every night and driving back up each morning, fixing the patio so the cats at least have access to a little outside during the day. Lots of fuel, but cheaper than a hotel and the cats will be okay. Oh, well, it's a non-issue at this point.
