Holiday Happenings

Ah, the holiday season.  A time for relaxation, spending with family, and eating all kinds of goodies.  Well, I relaxed all right- got sick Christmas Eve, was quarantined Christmas Day, and am finally recovering.  I got to hang out and not do much of anything, which is good (though less fun if it's not really by choice...)  One bad part of being sick is not being able to get things done.  I had the time, but not the energy.  Even getting on the computer was hard; I just couldn't focus my mind enough to write or do anything involved.

Before that, though, Miss Mox and I had a cool anniversary.  Low key, like us: visits to the places we got engaged and married, a fancy meal, and plenty of alone time.  We saw family a bit before Christmas- my mom came to town and we had a nice day together, and at least Miss Mox spent some time with her family while I was in my sickbed.  And we ate well- dinners out, homecooked meals, and lots of Christmas cookies!

Today there will be some time out on the town, and more relaxing before going back to work.  Then a few more days off, which I hope to use to get some things done.  So much to write, read, and just generally sort through for the end of one year and the beginning of another.  I hope you had a great time during whatever holidays have just passed, and enjoy New Year's Eve.  Look back at what has happened this year, good and bad.  Remember, but don't obsess.  Learn, and move forward.  There's always something interesting ahead.
