Sorry, I know this is a few days late, but I’ve been very busy bundled up on my sofa watching cable, and for the most part staying off-line. Today was my first day back to work since December 23rd, so I’m officially back in the on-line world.
I had a lovely holiday season. It was low-key and spent mostly at home. I got to watch my favorite Christmas films (the Ref, Nightmare Before Christmas, a Christmas Story, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and Scrooge – both the Alastair Sim version and the Muppet version)…I got some wonderful gifts including a vintage globe, a vintage (Herman Miller) kitchen table, a nice assortment of books to add to my Edward Gorey collection, and other lovely and thoughtful things too numerous to mention.
New Year’s was also great. Of course it’s my mom’s birthday, so why wouldn’t it be swell? We all got together for lunch and a movie, so a good time was had by all.
My friend Amelia is back at work after giving birth to a charming baby in November, so I give her a shout out of encouragement.
I know a number of you either know my aunt, or have expression concern over her, so I wanted to let you know that she will be starting chemo later this month. I think she will kick cancer’s ass! Seriously, my aunt has been wonderfully calm and philosophical with a positive attitude, so I’m sure she will do just fine. Thanks for asking.
I wish you all the best in the new year!
Amen and amen.
