yendiMade it back alive last night! Woohoo!
Had a wonderful holiday season, as always.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shadesong's biological family is comprised of truly wonderful people, and we always feel like we're at home when we're with them. And our final 24 hours was spent with morenasangre and farren, who really are family, regardless of any biological connections.
The time with both families was basically spent the same way -- hanging out, talking, eating, and playing with dogs. 'song's aunt and uncle have a poodle named Pepper and a chia-pap named Petey, which meant I was amongst two of the few breeds who don't make me react. Both are sweet, cuddly pets. Wendy and Bret have two adorable bigger dogs, Evie and Sheila, who are wonderful and sweet but who, alas, do a superb job of triggering my allergies. Still, they're cuddly and fun puppies.
Time spent with both families was what made it a wonderful holiday. But that doesn't mean that presents weren't exchanged, either.
Loot: From the family: Simpsons season 4, Puerto Rico, Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity (something I pretty desperately need), and Rocky and Bullwinkle season 2 (containing over 1000 hours of material!).
Frommorenasangre and farren: The Science of Supervillians (they'd given me the first one a year or two ago), which all comics geeks should read, and The Future of Spacetime, which looks really really nifty.
I flew back last night, and only had minor Delta delays. Bothshadesong and Elayna are spending a few days in FLA, which means I get the greatest gift of all for a day or two -- free time and a house to myself! Anyone who knows me well knows that I tend to need recharge time alone. :-)
Time to get to work, which basically means cleaning out my inbox from all the crap that piled up.
