eor

As you may have noticed, we're back from vacation. Had a nice visit with a goodly proportion of my family. On the unfortunate side, my brother-in-law has a tumor in his kidney (severity yet to be determined) and lesions on his liver (origin and severity yet to be determined). He went in for more tests the day we left. I haven't heard the results yet.

Florida was warm and sunny and typical Florida. Every now and then I'm tempted by the thought of enduring warmth, my body deals less and less well with the cold. Then I realize what an awful place it is in so many ways and suddenly the cold isn't so bad anymore.

Tomorrow it's back to work. Like clockwork, dreaming about work came back as soon as I got back to Maine. Really subconscious, I don't get paid to be there in my dreams, cut it out.

No firm New Year's resolutions. I do feel I was rather poor about communicating with friends and relatives this year and I have the intention of doing better this year. So some of you may actually hear from me this year. If that is something that thrills and excites you let me know and I'll move you toward the top of the list. If it disgusts and terrifies you let me know and I'll move you to the bottom of the list where you'll be safe.

I had a big long thing running in my head about friendship and attraction, but the allergy meds I took over an hour ago are kicking in big time and coherent sentences are rapidly becoming untenable. Goodnight.

Many people on LJ are posting the Holiday Wish List meme this year. I am not. My material needs are few and my life is well and thoroughly blessed.

If you're really dead set on parting with your hard won financial assets, find a suitable charity, give to them, and write me a note about the cool charity you have decided to support.

I will happily read your cards and letters, should you wish to favor me with such kindness. Proposals and lewd propositions are only accepted in person. (Well, I couldn't write an entirely serious post!)
