Uncharacteristic silence
I have been quiet the last number of days. I’ve been doing some holiday stuff like writing notes on Christmas/New Year’s cards to all my New Orleans friends now scattered throughout the country. All the notewriting aggravated the repetitive motion problem in my hand (ouch!), and I have limited my keyboarding/mousing as a result. I am also feeling the effects of the short days leading up to the solstice. After so many years in the deep South, I find that I am really bothered by the dark afternoons.
Next week should be better. I’ll be alone until the day after Christmas (which is not my holiday anyway), but the rest of the week I will have reunions with almost all my old friends (the ones on this side of the Atlantic anyway), and I am looking forward to that. My daughter-in-law sent me an e-card today, wishing me a “Happy Challahday” to the tune of “Superstition.” LMAO
Since I don’t give a damn what Bill O’Reilly says, I will wish everyone joy on his/her preferred seasonal holiday and a good civil new year.

I feel the same way about the dark afternoons! I hate them.
So glad you liked the ecard

I liked the very soft and furry little polar bear too. Thank you for making the contribution in my name.
