and a few people have got me gifts but i haven't retrieved them yet.
(also, i count kaa-san's new kitten as a christmas gift, although he wasn't for me. i'm certainly still enjoying him!!!!)

a good haul, imo, and more than i expected. joy! the 25th and 26th were really good days- unexpectedly so, considering the way the week leading up to christmas had been going. and then on the night of the 24th, paddy ate upwards of 50 pieces of hershey's chocolate while me and the fam were at the midnight christmas service. so i ended staying up until 4.30am, feeding her hydrogen peroxide by the teaspoon to induce vomiting and checking her breathing to make sure she didn't die of stomach bloating in the middle of the night. ...so that was fun. T__T and my mom's birthday was yesterday.

bu~ut now it's back to work, back to work. *le sigh*
