Just wanted to make a quick post to explain why I'm not around at the moment. I've had some serious {illness meh} related problems, with hospitals and tests and all of that, with a very bad and prolonged attack on Sunday and during Sunday night especially, and basically the doctor has put me on some extreme drugs (with addedd mood-changing properties, so forgive me if I seem unusually grumpy or cheerful!) and told me I absolutely must stay in, with no stress, and avoid exposing myself to any germs at all, if I want to get better. (This was accompanied by spiel about how I could very easily have died over the weekend, argh!) Apparently the drugs I'm on could be very dangerous if I were to accidentally contract {random diseases that children and indeed adults might be going around with at this time of year}. So let's just say that my interactions are all going to be virtual this Christmas.
I wasn't very well in the first place, so hadn't actually planned any celebrations, but I'm very sorry to the couple of people that I thought I might have a chance to catch up with this week. Meanwhile, since I've been ordered to avoid stress, I've spent this afternoon lazing about and seeing how the drugs are avoiding me, and making a santa hat for Barton the bear. And very nearly finishing my secret santa (which will be in by the deadline, don't fear). Will hang out on LJ when I can, but I'm getting lots of bed rest so it'll be intermittent.
I hope everyone is having a lovely festive break (if indeed you've got to the break bit yet - because of my job, I'm very lucky to be able to lay off work completely this week without feeling too bad about it).
