Dec. 10th, 2011 11:38 amI'm alone for the first time in 10 days. It's weird but nice. I appreciate the great care I received from everyone, especially my mother, but feel a little relieved to be on my own. Also, I'm glad Mom is going home to rest -- I feel like my illness was harder on her than me in many ways.
The review for K.A. Mitchell's new book, Bad Boyfriend, is in progress and will be posted over at WordPress later today has been posted at WordPress. Once that's done, I'll settle down and address holiday cards -- I'd like to write personal notes rather than just sign the cards, but we'll see.
Had to bail on the fic exchange because I knew it wouldn't be finished in time for the exchange due to health and timing issues, but I'm thinking that might be something to work on this afternoon, too, as a belated gift to the recipient (someone else is pinch hitting for the exchange) or to the comm generally.
I've been earwormed by Panic! once again, courtesy of
asimplechord's concert call from the secret acoustic show in Austin.
There's an email in my inbox about the Green Bay Packers' stock offering. Back when I was a dead-broke student, they did their first offering in decades in order to raise money to improve Lambeau Field. I desperately wanted to buy a share but at the time $200 was beyond me. I could afford it now, but am feeling as if 1) any money spent on frivolous things right now should be for others rather than myself, and 2) since I just paid $400 to get my car fixed and am expecting to pay up to the deductible for my recent hospital stays, fiscal prudence is in order.

There's also a Groupon in my inbox for The Economist -- $1 per issue (51 for the year), which is a huge bargain and a magazine that I find useful and instructive. But I cancelled my subscription last year because I couldn't read them fast enough. Decisions. Hmmm.
