Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays!

December 24, 2023 /

No exciting news in this post, no travel pics, probably not much snark (but fear not–there will be memes).

So if there are no announcements, no travel pics, and no snark (!!), what will be in this post besides memes? My sincerest wish that you and yours have the happiest of holidays. You, dear reader, are the reason I devote the better part of a weekend morning attempting to be amusing on Al Gore’s internet. Your time and your comments mean the world to me. So, from my house to yours:

Those of you who know me through the Weekend Coffee Share (hosted by Natalie the Explorer) may have noticed I’ve been absent for a few weeks. I got what I thought was a mild case of COVID right after Thanksgiving, and it’s hung on since then. As of last week, I was still testing (very faintly) positive and dealing with a lot of fatigue and joint pain. I have good days and bad days (today is a good day! yay!), but it’s slowed me down quite a bit. Blogging–and writing in general–has often fallen by the wayside in favor of reading, phone scrolling, and resting.

I’ve managed some blogging in the last few weeks (and two posts include announcements, so I lied a little in my intro). If you’re visiting from the Weekend Coffee Share, here’s what you may have missed since my last link party post:

Even before COVID, I struggled to find time to work on my fiction, so I may scale back my participation in link parties in 2024 so I can focus on my other writing. But I’ll pop in from time to time, because I’ve made some wonderful blogging friends, and I want to keep up with what’s happening in your lives.

OK, enough about me. It’s time for:

The Memery

It’s Christmas Eve, so of course I’m going to share Christmas memes. Here we go:

Keeping the Christmas Story theme going:

And some random holiday nonsense:

And finally, here’s your holiday productivity hack of the week:

You can thank me next year.

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!
