Merry Christmas

May all the blessings of him whose birth we mark today be to everyone who reads this post.

I truly wish I could say I felt good on this most holy day, but in fact, I felt very crummy. I guess that's pneumonia, though. My last post (Thursday evening) I was staring to feel a little better and it continued through Christmas Eve. I felt so good I went to services at Canterbury and that may have been too much. Today, I have felt almost as bad as Thursday, if not worse in some ways. My fever remains low, however, so I guess it could be worse. As I write, I feel a little teensy bit better, which gives me hope for tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will know not to go to church, much as I would like to, and as boring as these four walls have become.

The photo is of me and Martin playing with his fave present, an out-of-print game called Talisman, which was harder to find that Tickle Me Elmo could ever have been.

Writing this blog is good medicine somehow. Once again, Merry Christmas to all and please say a prayer that we can beat this pneumonia sooner, rather than later. I ain't really so patient, I'm afraid.
