Buffy ,'Help'
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2004? Don't think we've forgotten about you.
Lysana, unless I got your address wrong, it should be there shortly.
I knew hedging mine with "at least so far" was the appropriate reaction. Thanks, Sail! I don't remember which addy you'd have gotten from Deena, so if I don't squee tomorrow, it may not be until after New Year's if it was my work addy.
It was a PO Box number, if that tells you anything.
Eh. Don't mind me. I'm just being cranky and tired and old.
But I have wrapped Nic's and Marta's presents. I suppose that's something.

Never, deb. Snarky and suffering from ennui, perhaps. Well-seasoned, not old. But never any of those nasty words you used. Ugh, you're a writer, you should know better.
No, really. Tired and old. But actually not cranky. Mood's way weirder than that.
I wrapped all Mart's presents in red, and all Nic's in gold. I'll stick bows on them Saturday morning. Next week, I'm going into a baking frenzy.

I resemble that remark. I seem to be alternating between ecstatic and terrified, with a side order of overwhelmed. I'd like to say it's been more this way since my mother died and I feel the burden of being the family matriarch (which, 47 here, how the hell can I be a family matriarch?), particularly at holidays, but it actually started a few years before that. There's something to be said for heading off to a tropical island at this time of year, I think I'd literally kill to be able to.
I've never had the holiday blahs in my life, and I don't think I have them now. Much darker. Been puzzling it out in livejournal.
Feh. I should probably just go sit in a small dark room, or something.

Actually, I'm going to do just that. It's past my bedtime and bedrooms are dark. Off I go.
Am I the only person to not be gifted with one of Sail's cards?
No.
The gift has been mailed. When it will get to my Secret Santee, I don't know. I'm still kind of off-balance with Embassy Athens - in Kuala Lumpur we had mail service every day, and extra around the holidays. Here, it's once a week regularly and they just decided not to have mail service this week, since it's Christmas. I hope no families here are waiting for something special in the mail.
In any case, I can't blame my whole delay on the APO system, because I fretted for weeks about what to get my Secret Santee...but it's en route now and hopefully will get there by Valentine's Day!
