It’s been a long time since I was as sick as I was last week; on the day my previous diary appeared, I was just finally feeling up to doing all my regular chores again, and my appetite didn’t fully return until a few days ago. It had me worried because on the last day of my toy drive I got a surge in donations that brought me to $1200, more than ever before, yet I wasn’t in shape to go shopping! Fortunately there’s a Target not far from the Olympia collection center, and I felt well enough Wednesday morning to make one last trip; my trunk was already full, and I topped off the back seat at Target before delivering everything to the collection center and returning home before dark. Since then, I’ve done a few small tasks on the new bathroom, but it’s so cold outside I’ve used my convalescence as an excuse to mostly just putter around inside, getting things cleaned up before the holiday. And in the long evenings, I’ve actually had time to do some pleasure-reading for the first time in I’m-ashamed-to-admit-how-long. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the holiday, and once again I want to thank all of my readers for your generosity, both on behalf of the kids and for the nerdy, thoughtful things y’all sent to me personally!
