Well, I had a lovely Christmas day with Neo. He gave me a gorgeous handmade copper necklace, done by a local artist we both like, and a bracelet made by a metalsmith friend of ours who passed away this past summer. It was one of the last bracelets our friend made before he died. Very lacy and feminine silver and copper--and even more special having been made by Don. Other things, too, but I'll hold back on listing my 'new stuff.' I do have a spa day in my very near future! Yeah!
We went to a party at a friend's house that night--and tha's where my "white" Christmas got way out of gear! I've recently changed a medication I take and Neo, who has taken the same thing in the past, failed to warn me how easy it is to get scary drunk on this medication until it was too late. No public embarrassment, thank goodness, but after we got home--somehow I got more drunk without drinking more. Whew. Spinning, reeling, falling.... I laid down on the bed, set back up and tossed my cookies all over the comforter. Twice.
I can hold my liquor, usually. And I have never NEVER thrown up all over myself. Not since I was a baby! And this includes my hard partying college days, my wayward , too fun 30s. If this is a geezer moment, I quit. I hearby resign my geezerdom to go back to my normal self who would never end up like I did Christmas night. Yuck!
Neo--God bless him--was a doll and took good care of me. I think I'm just now recovering from the hangover. New Yea's Eve--I'm drinking diet coke!

The Gezeer Norm is to wake up wishing that there was
a `Nite Before` to justify feeling this bad. `Nite Before` are now
murder.
I hope that New Years treats ya better.
X-mas was good here minimal stress, lots of good food.
Daughter was thrilled to get the collectors edition of
`Beedle The Bard`. And read it that afternoon.
Today we went to EMS to get her new Snowshoes.
Got her MSR Denali, which are the same as mine, except she
will not need the `Floatation Tails` like I do.
I`ve asked this question a few times now: is my computer the
only one messing up when useing the `apostrophy` or `quotation` key?
--don't AND [ "We all lived in a yellow submarine" ] are in proper useage.
You are right. I did need the day I had on Christmas day very much. A break from my usual stuff was not only refreshing, but necessary. I don't know if I can build on it, but I will try.
I am having the same problem as ferkixIIL mentioned above about the apostrophe and quotes keys. I let him know that he was not the only one with this issue. It is very annoying.
Have a good time with your mom. I'm sure you'll miss Neo. This has not been the best year for me, to say the least. I suspect you would say the same about yourself. I need to believe that the coming year will bring a turnaround for me. Wishing you a year filled with good health, happiness and minimal stress for you and yours.
