Sorry to hear about the sucktasticness of your Christmas and your booster shot reaction. I didn't have much reaction at all, and I'm never sure what to think of that. Glad to hear you've been writing, though! I have had writing thoughts, but not actually turned those into anything.

I myself am doing well, though I tossed out all thought of trying to get Christmas presents out before Christmas. Was just too overwhelmed. I did up a Christmas letter and got it in 50 cards, and that was about all I could handle. I did, however, get a late 'card' from my niece, who is 7 years old - she made it herself out of two pieces of tiny notebook paper taped together. I'm going to treasure this for the rest of my life. :)
