That all sounds angrifying and kind of icky, msbelle. I'm sorry.

((Zen)) Those sound like normal things to be feeling given what life has been tossing your way. And as much as I like a drink, whiskey wouldn't exactly make any of those feelings less. I hope some good stuff turns up soon

Laura, I'm so sorry for your loss. How fucking awful.

Our health system is insane. I'd write more but it's too exhausting.

I will happily organize a holiday card exchange, msbelle, unless it's stepping on your toes? I figure I'd just google form it, create lists, and send those out. If we wnated to match people up, I could have people opt to send 1, 5, 10, 15 cards and I'll match people up. The send deadline would be three kings day for those of us who are late? Does that all sound manageable?

Oh! I could do cards if it was 5 or 10! Somehow I convinced myself it would be a lot more. I should've asked instead of assuming. Duh, Steph.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Totally on board for this Kat and msbelle.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That sounds great. Like Steph, I was imagining like 100 cards! Too much for me. I mean five might end up being too much for me, but it is a reasonable goal!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The idea of signing up for a number of cards sounds amazing! I was starting to get nervous about numbers myself.

The extended timing is very culturally apt for us :-). And practically speaking gives people the chance to do cardscard while they're on holiday, rather than in the frenzied lead-up, which is a lively thing to look forward too.

I'm having all kinds of warm feels about this.

Oh, a limited number of cards? Yes, that is a wonderful idea!

Herding cats for fun

I like getting cards by snail mail. I am old school. This is something I could actually manage to do this year. It might even cheer me up.
