Holiday wrap-up
Jan. 4th, 2011 05:54 pmI really feel I should post a holiday-wrap up kind of post, but I'm not sure what to say. There has been a lot of awesome this holiday season, but bunches of it are not really for public posting. And, all of the awesome has been despite the fact that I've basically been sick since the 24th or so.
Some highlights:
3 weeks off work! (Still ongoing)
Dec 20th afternoon with jmae, who is back in town for Christmas.
Dec 21st ate Billy the Kid(*) as Yule dinner with friends. clinkerfiasco cooks FTW! (I mostly supplied groceries.)
22nd venue a small party for oni_neko.
23rd go to Golden, BC to have Christmas with sister, brother-in-law and nieces, as well as parents who flew out to Calgary and drove over the mountains with me.
Evening of the 24th start feeling sick.
25th another great Turkey dinner, with lots of family as well as presents. The niecelings clean up on the presents!
27th good weather for drive & flight home. Flight is delayed, though. Welcomed home by shamanatrix very early on my birthday.
28th big birthday party! Get much sicker.
29th errands with frenchzie, then her housewarming & birthday -- sadly have to leave early.
30th cancel everything due to sick. miss trip to Montreal with frenchzie :(
31st perfect_gold arrives for a 4-day visit of wonderfulness. Awesome New Years Eve party!
1st brunch with flail-iclydale & perfect_gold, wander back here for intermittent post-party cleanup mixed with socializing.
2nd take perfect_gold out to climbing gym, she decides she really likes it. Yay! Pho and some evening time with shyska. Get really good night's sleep.
3rd sleep in way late. Start to feel a bit better. Dinner chez house flail. Good later evening time with perfect_gold and shamanatrix. :)
4th up too early, drop perfect_gold at airport, then back to sleep. Relaxed day so far. Must visit kitchen and laundry soon. (And, check work email.)
Tomorrow: more mellow, continue getting better is the plan. :)
All-in-all despite being sick the whole time, and missing the trip to Montreal, it was a wonderful holiday period.
* Billy the Kid was a turkey. Then a dinner. Then a stew. Now is no more.
