Theoretically done here, except for the listgiv & various special
folks (nieces, bff, etc.) who are apt to be forgiving.

Something about this month - from being in hospital to taking the dog
to the emergency vet in Charlottesville to the continuing exploration
that is my new job description - has completely taken the spirit out
of me. Doing the best I can, one moment at a time.

Youngest son Mike arrives home from Washington state tomorrow,
beginning family time. Daughter Sam has planned a large dinner on
Christmas Eve with Mike's local friends so they can catch up. Sam &
Mike, both now employed as kitchen managers/chefs, will handle the
logistics for the dinner. We will have all 4 offspring plus their
families at our house on Monday Dec 26.  I hope Mike & Sam also step
up for Christmas Day and Boxing Day food preparation!

I do not have extra time off, although I had worked (many) extra hours
to be able to spend vacation with the family - those hours were all
lost to the hospital stay. So much for planning ahead. We may not even
be able to manage our family trip to the zoo now. Healing is harder
work than I had anticipated.

hugs anyway - Cady
