obligatory happy new year, resolutions, etc.
By which I mean, I love you all and hope everyone's having a fantastic beginning-of-2011!
Well, I was taken down over Christmas by a killer case of the flu. It would have sucked a lot more if it hadn't gotten me out of things like decorating, which I do not enjoy doing. For the first time we did Christmas at our house instead of at my Christian grandparents' house and we learned that when you let the Jews do Christmas really odd things happen, like my mother puts wreaths on the paper mache (incredibly creepy) babies and then lights them from below with only red lights so it looks as though Julian (the creepiest of the babies) is presiding over some sort of intense dark-magic.
We really got into the spirit of things.
Managed to de-flu myself in 8 days and am now mostly as good as new except for being very tired. I go to Mexico on Tuesday which is...is...oh, terrifying, that's the word. Terrifying. I tend to get sick when I travel (like lupus-sick not airplane-sick because that'd be a whole other can o' worms) and so that is making me anxious. Though of course I also tend to get sick when I get anxious. Found a vicious cycle. Found it.
We will therefore pretend as though we are not traveling in two days and instead take a shower and go to bed and ignore the fact that our brother's cat is yowling because she is confused and refuses to eat in a room that is not sufficiently lit. Because she is batshit insane.
Happy new year! Hope everyone's potential resolutions are going fabulously. I'd said something about eating more healthily but then I ate 13 mini ice cream sandwiches the past two days so I think I'm just about ready to say "screw that" but I HAVE been writing 500 words of Something every day which was the important resolution anyway.
