Hiya folks!
Things are a lot calmer and better overall around here, at least for the time being. My dad is doing a lot better now - the "blood coming out in places where it shouldn't" is near-completely cleared up now, with only some coordination left with the doctor to control medication dosage to keep this from happening again.
Thanksgiving was a simple affair this year, but good. Cooking/hosting was done by my Dad's girlfriend. My birthday, which happened to fall on the same day as Thanksgiving this year, was largely passed over with all the other stuff that's been going on. I didn't mind or feel poorly about it or anything. Back in the kiddie days, you're in anticipation of your birthday for months in advance. This year my thirty-something self barely gave it a thought until it was already there, and barely gave it a second thought since. Thanks much to those who sent their kind wishes though.
Now that things are a lot more stable and I don't need to hang around looking after other people's health, I did some traveling today and took care of the bulk of my holiday shopping. Can't say what I got, in case it gets back to the recipients though.

Glad you had a great Thanksgiving/birthday (Happy B-Day again by the way). My dad's got a similar situation - born 12 days before Christmas... and yeah he does milk it a bit. Ah well, what are dad's for huh?
And you got holiday shopping done too? Hell boy, you're doing better than me. I couldn't afford anything this year, and told everyone I know NOT to get me anything.
Seriously I love getting Christmas gifts, but with $$ so tight I think paying bills are more important than unwrapping paper covered stuff.
Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving / Birthday / Holiday shopping week, now...
Get back to drawing you lug!
Perhaps I'll remember it for next year and wish it to you on time.
Understandable about the birthday situation. Glad to hear your T-Day went well, otherwise, though. :)
If nothing else, hope your holidays stay pleasant and uneventful, and maybe we'll seeya at AC.
Happy belated birthday! And you're still younger than me! ...wait, why am I celebrating that? :(
Shopping for me this year will consist of gifts for the kids in the family (nephews, nieces, etc)... The adults decided this year to forgo the drawing of names for the single gift we usually gave... Rather depressing, frankly. Not that any of us NEED anything... but that's not the POINT of most gifts, now is it?
Glad to hear that you had a blessed Thanksgiving and Birthday. :)
