Belated entry

Christmas was lovely, recieved several puzzles and books, as well as the word that I am difficult to shop for; I don't see why, because I adore puzzles and books, and nearly anything I am given. I suppose it's just that I don't have much attachment to material possessions. I have moved around and lived too long to cling to items, and if there are any items I do cling to, it's books. At any rate, I now have 'the Once and Future King', which completes the trilogy for me. I started reading 'the sword in the stone' to Bridgielove last night. She's come down with something, and her fever managed to spike at 100.6 so it feels as though it was a long night, and yet here I am up earlier than usual. I suppose I'm waiting for her to wake properly and let me know what I need to go out and fetch for her, because that's all I really can do. She does seem to be rid of the fever this morning. Her mother said that of course it can't be the flu, because she got a flu shot, which means someone clearly needs to inform the woman of exactly how a flu shot functions. I am dearly hoping I don't catch it myself, because then I can't take care of her properly, but if I do, I do... it's rather past the point of contagion now.
Mmm. Christmas again. There was little money this year, but Bridgielove did make a donation to the heifer project; a share of a goat in my name, a share of rabbits in Rey's name, and some bees in Morri's. That is by far the best gift, and is becoming an excellent tradition. The first year she got a goat in my name, I was at a loss for words, and it remains one of the best gifts I have ever recieved.
Also this year I am the recipient of much Thorn fan art. I hear Bridgielove stirring, so I am off...
