'It's been a very long year but we got through it dammit and now it's Christmas so we're going to...
...listen to some music', is the end of the original. Which is the title of a CD burned for me for Christmas by Older Daughter. And you know what? It *has* been a very long year - I'd say I was glad to see the back of 2007 except that I saw it in quite cheerfully. That'll learn me!
Anyway, I'm mulling over my Year's Books List, which I'll post tomorrow or the next day ::crosses fingers::, but now, as it's still Christmas, dammit (yeah it is - until Epiphany!), I'm going to give the promised, if a little belated, medical update. You can skip the cut if you don't enjoy chronic headaches... Unless you don't but would still like to hear about the fun fun fun of a brain MRI.
Anyway, Christmas was not our most relaxed or cheerful, but the kitchen crew (me as head chef, my sister, virtual adopted brother and both girls) had a perfectly amicable day of cooking, the meal was good, and presents appreciated. I got Philip Reeve's Starcross from Y.D., which I'm readlng and enjoying now, and a Dedicate a Tree kit from O.D. (she said it could be dedicated to a fictional character - suggesting that naming one for Dido Twite would be very cool), to focus on the child lit element.
More on books in the New Year! [does witchey dance for luck]
