If we make it through December...

I have about 15 minutes to post, because my apartment has been invaded by my friend Kris from out of town, who's staying with me through the new year. Actually, she's Alan's wife's best friend, and she doesn't wanna stay with them 'cus they're living with Alan's parents while they get ready to move into their home, so I'm stuck with a roommate for a few days....which I have learned quickly that I am not accustomed to anymore. And, of course, we've been good friends for years, so there's not even any funny business goin' on since she's too hip to my bullshit; I just get to enjoy tampons in my bathroom & having my TV commandeered without any of the fringe benefits...

Plus, she & Alan's wife, in the past 24 hours, have completely turned my whole apartment upside down, thrown away things I didn't even know I had, re-arranged furniture, done something or the other to the kitchen that I can't quite place, and woken me up at seven in the goddamn morning so they could do freakin' yoga together...which apparently involves watching the Today show at top volume & whacking away on my computer while I'm sleeping 3 feet away because they're trying to get mapquest directions to a hair salon that's about a quarter-mile down the road. But, she cleaned my bathroom....god bless her.

Hope everybody's Christmas went well...or at least better than mine. My estranged family decided to ruin the holidays for my mom & I, but such is life....I'll tell ya' about it later if ya' care to hear. I'll post again as soon as I can; gotta keep it on the down-low while I have a guest here if I don't want anyone digging this thing up, but I know where I left off...

Oh, and thanks for the well-wishes; I feel better now; physically, at least. Don't order the swordfish...
