My apologies on the long silence. This job (or rather, the commute to this job – it’s in Albany, I’m in Rochester, so it’s almost 4 hrs each way) is kicking my ass. I’m still knitting, everyone’s doing well except Tuna the cat, who passed away in late October. Her kitten, Samwich (now ~7 yrs old), is being terrorized by Sean & Carrie’s cat Anubis. Who is just trying to be friends! but Sammy doesn’t see it that way. The Bills have let us down again, but that’s no surprise.
We had a wonderful merry Christmas. It’s almost worth the angst, once the stores close and the day dawns and dammit, if we aren’t ready now it’s too late to change. We had to cut way back this year, and I was petrified that everyone would be disappointed. But no! Like the Whos down in Whoville, the joy was in each other – not the presents.
Here’s a silly little video for Lisa & Adam, Pete & Betty, Ryan & Leah, Patrick & Alsira, Sean & Carrie, and everyone who couldn’t be with us yesterday.
Merry Christmas!
