I'm sorry, Sean.
The emergency HVAC person has fixed the furnace. We are saved!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm sorry, Sean.

Yikes, so sorry Sean. Pix and ND also, bummer about *that* holiday tradition.
Just a quick stop by to say hello, Merry Christmas, and Happy Solstice (okay, a few days late)!
The sun has gone around the side of the house already - it's as far to the "right" of the east-facing house as it'll go, the cats have had some time outside and are settling after a special holiday meal (meaning Fancy Feast, the kind with greens, gravy, and an extra $.20), and I've got to get ready to head to the East Bay and family drama. Oh well!
We are listening to the Sesame St. Xmas (currently at the Bert-Ernie-Mr. Hooper "Gift of the Magi" part, sniff) and my mom is putting the finishing touches on dinner. Gifts were exchanged and delightful at that - we got my mom The Southerner's Handbook, autographed by three of the essayists. I got colorful socks and Hild and a yoga gift certificate, among other things. Been a lovely Xmas so far.
Hey Seanie, check yer email.
I read that as Sesame Saint Xmas.
Much love, Sean.
Sean, I hate that you are having such a sucky Christmas. I wish better things for you. I wish that I could do better than wish for you send more love.
ETA: because someone reminded me that I could do more than wish.
I'm going to call my mother for Christmas.
Cover me, I'm going in.
ETA: Line's busy, reprieve.
teaching mom & her bf how to use their computers & internet. Fun!

Yeah, that's the kind of fun that's not.
IOChristmasN I did get through to my mom. A bit of mom~ma if you please - she had a chest x-ray and CAT scan after a bout of flu-like illness, which showed some spot(s) on her lungs. She was offered the choice of a needle biopsy or waiting a couple months to do another chest x-ray. She has joined Team Procrastination (for which I can't blame her) Her doc says this might be some left-over pneumonia (!?!), or scarring from having whooping cough as a child, or of course it might be a tumor. I can't say I blame her for not wanting them to shove a needle in through her chest wall, into her lung to find out fast.
Yikes! mom~ma!
