Had the little work session, picked up one little package and came home.  The mail person was arriving and I saw he had a green envelope, which I willed him to be delivering to me, which he did.  The little green envelope is always from the Writer's Guild - the last one had a check for The Faculty royalties for nine dollars.  This one, while it isn't earth shattering, was a VERY pleasant out of nowhere surprise - very grateful to have a little extra unexpected cash at this time of year.

Thanx and a tip of the Hatlo hat to BK, Jane, Vixmom, George, TCB, John G., Laura, Michael FJL, Jennifer, ChasSmith, Jrand60, Ginny, Druxe, elmore, and all else for the Birthday wishes.  I presently have no Internet connection and home, and am using the library, which alas! will be closed until Monday:

So Merry Festivus & other sundry holidays to all!  And giving a nod, up the chimney I rise.

Here is a picture of DRs John and Jane, and Jane's DH Keith that I was asked to post:

Larry, do you have bad bathroom karma or what? This is terrible! I'm glad the super got right on it; I was so annoyed with the management there last time. Hopefully, the worst is over and it all dries out quickly.

Coping vibes!

Sorry to hear about your blood pressure problems, Laura. Did you have to reschedule your dental hygiene? I first heard of hygienists checking blood pressure a couple years ago. It was surprise, as I'd never heard of it before.

I am definitely ready for some downtime. Every year I promise myself some time around the holidays, but other things, i.e., LIFE, tends to intervene. The same is true this year. Although I'm putting next week mostly aside, there just won't be enough time to take care of all I need to do or want to do. Last year I was recovering from the eye surgeries, plus I had to catch up on taxes and some other things. At least I have those things behind me.

A very happy birthday to DR William F. Orr -- who I do not know, but everyone else around here seems to think he's a fine fellow!

He is a jolly fine fellow, and so say all of us

As long as the ceiling doesn't collapse, I'm fine.  One of my Drama Book Shop bosses in 1980 told me whatever problems you have in your first apartment will follow you.  Yep.
