Cards arrived from ainotorikomi and nolan_ash today - THANK YOU!
I will be sending ecards tonight and posting something here tomorrow. Hard copy postcards will be printed and mailed next week. I have just run out of time.
A beautiful holiday card (you always find wonderful cards!) with a Haadri magnet inside! I stuck it on the side of Last Gasp - maybe the gremlins can talk through it!
Two bars of GOOD UK chocolate - Turkish Delight and Sicilian Lemon Mousse! They sound yummy! rat will only get a taste of these - they are mine! *evil laughter*
A cd with great music on it - the jacket is signed by one of the artists! I listened to snippets of each selection and I know we will put this in our music rotation! Instrumentals, an acappella vocal piece, crystal bowls stroked and vocal with instruments - a mix of a lot of types but all relaxing. I love this note on the bottom - "Health Warning: Very relaxing music, not to be listened to while driving or operating machinery."
THANK YOU!
Aja, your card arrived and I loved it - reindeer!
We are still struggling to get packages together at this end. Don't expect anything showing up until after the holiday. Same with holiday cards.
Been busy doing resin doll things, crocheting gifts and trying to keep sane in spite of work. My dolls have helped me keep sane. I take one to the office when it is really getting bad. The doll meetup yesterday was nice - they always remind me how I need to get out and be more social. rat and I are such hermits most of the time.
Eventually I will be able to let everyone know what's going on at the office, but it is still one of those hush-hush things that cannot be talked about until the president sends out his email, announcing everything officially.
Health-wise, I have good days within the bad weeks. The cold is really affecting my spine and shoulder joints the most. My hips bother me, too, but not as badly right now. I am in pain at the office most of the work day. I try to avoid the pain killers; I don't want to acclimate to them so when I REALLY need one, they will no longer work. The pain makes me exhausted, so I am not functioning that well right now.
It was great talking to Talon the other night. Hope I was able to take your mind off 'stuff' for a little while. You helped me by just listening. *smooch*
Thanks: --> to Lia, my sensei, who has inspired me to draw again. I
wouldn't be doing this without your support, Domo Arigato!
--> to Talon, for sending me her fabulous fics, inspiring me with her writing to draw my first
illustration for a story and actually liking what I drew.
--> to Dasia, for her words of encouragement when drawing her original chara.
--> to Joules, a wonderful epic fic writer, for liking my art enough to want to post them with Talon's
and her own stories.
--> to Lutra, the other half of the epic team, for being so supportive.
--> to Jacque' & Becca Raddittzu, we met on eBay as bidder and sellers and now we are face-to-face
friends. You showed us the real DBZ with your fansubs. It's all your fault the house is full of
doujinshi! *LOL*
