Seriously, how'd it get to be late December already?
I'm still around. Been kinda scarce to a lot of folks lately. Sorry about that, everyone I haven't seen much of in ages! I still love ya, have just been buried and treading water through a sea of mixed metaphors.
This weekend I missed two holiday parties that I had every intention of attending, but couldn't swing the scheduling overlap; spacetime and human endurance limits had other ideas. On the bright side, I had a fantastic, child-infused visit with some old college friends who hadn't all been together in several years.
I was out sick for the latter part of last week with the Crud That's Going Around (TM). Feeling mostly better now, though as with allergy season, I can only breathe if I remember to take a fistful of snotbegone pills every two hours.
With any luck, I may have gotten through all of my shopping this season online without having to slog through the consumer zombie deathmarch known as The Mall.
We'll see.
ETA: I dropped off the first batch of
Christmas/year-end/holiday c(ar)ds this evening. There's several more to do, so they may be more year-end/MLK/groundhog c(ar)ds, but they are moving.
