We're still away wi'the fairies in Newcastle, but we didn't let that stop us from a little post Christmas sale shopping!
( The loot )

Wow, it's officially autumn, I think. High today was ostensibly 55F but with blowing winds and it's not supposed to get much better the rest of the week. I'm *so* glad we got another heater as the central heating in this building doesn't go on until the first. Normally I'd be rather upset about the change of seasons as my pain would be increasing ( Read more... )

Crossposted to brygytNow that we have a bit of pocket money, I plan to resume my gift-giving and card-sending practices. I *love* giving gifts and it has been really heart breaking to have to forgo that, so it's now high on my priority list. I also tend to send handmade gifts wherever possible, although sometimes I just can't help it when storebought ( Read more... )

Stomach Virus.

I'm finally starting to get over it but man I have been really f'ing sick. I haven't gotten a thing done in over two weeks. So holiday cards are late. Good thing I didn't specify which holiday huh!

Belated Anniversary wishes to ormsweird & hobbitomm and birthday greetings to medakse.

I just wanted to let people know that I am OK.

First off, a thank you to Aunty Chaz (kyoki_tenchi) for a lovely fuzzy holiday card ( Read more... )

Thanks to reddragdiva & redcountess for the lovely holiday card.

Our presents from my mother -- all practical things, primarily clothes (work stuff for t, soft fuzzy pjs for me) -- arrived last week, so that's pretty much our holidays done with. johannajanette tipped me off that she's mailed a package, which I expect contains beads (yaaay!) but that's probably not going to get here ( Read more... )
