Merry Christmas!

Still coughing, but feeling better from sleeping thanks to the codeine cough syrup. I'm learning that pneumonia, even a case caught quickly is a harsh and demanding mistress. I'm on prednisone and an inhaler and I feel sick, but high as a kite and so shaky. The weirdest Christmas day ever, but still fun and one for the record books in so many ways. T and I always find the good in the different and difficult, we are very lucky.

Packets of tea from Dolly's Day, and treasures from 
Subjunctive under the tree, another taste of soup and rolls and cookies from DDW, healthy well wishing comments, cards Advent calendars, cat friends, Emerson, Tino & Lily and a star card from blast that I'm going to fashion into a tree ornament and many more that I'm too all over the map to list. The gifts that blip just keeps on giving. We're touched and in awe of the mighty connections woven so firmly by the strands of true friendship.

For the Record,
This day came in as the strangest New England Christmas day, so warm and both of us , The Toxic Coughing Couple making the best of the day as we always do, together.

All human hands coughing.

A Maine style Christmas dinner with warm weather to match!
