I really wish I'd had my shit together sufficiently this year to participate in the card exchange.
It's not like she blew me off. She just left with another guy, that's all.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I didn't participate in the card exchange because our cards are picture cards without any room to write on, but I do have a couple extra if anyone wants one.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm not normally a card person, but the card exchange got me to actually send a few, and brought me great joy from the ones I got; I totally plan to send a few more as new years' cards, uhhh, real soon now.
(And for anyone who hesitated to join in: I don't think anyone has any problem with cards arriving after whatever holiday, or cards without a lot of personalization, or anything else like that! It's just lovely to hear from a bunch of friends at a dark time of the year! I would definitely do it again next year!)

I wanted to send more cards but I ran out—I thought 40 would be plenty but apparently I have more addresses than I realized. Oops.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
If anyone not 'officially" in the exchange wants addresses from "THE LIST" - I can help with that.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
I just finally got my cards for the exchange done last night. It has been so nice getting cards, and I was glad of the exchange to spur me to get some done myself.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also really enjoyed the card exchange. It spurred me to get my shit together and send out cards for the first time in many years. I liked sending them out as much as getting them. We should definitely do this again.
Also, getting cards is nice, even if they're "late", I just like hearing from my friends.

I've heard the theory that Coco held on against the cancer until he was sure that I'd be okay without him.
I absolutely believe this. I'm sorry it has been such a rough couple of years, Fred. May 2020 bring all good things. I like your attitude on retirement. You'll know when it is right.
I love the cards! Now I need to remember to get things like postcards when I am out and about and use that address list!

I got the cards on my list in the mail today! Plus a couple extra to the senders who included me, so I'm feeling that I managed some minimal decent adulting.
