Cards!! And: The internet... I can stop at any time. I just don't want to.

As of yesterday evening, I am online again!

This is cause for great rejoicing. For a while there I thought I wouldn't see the internets again this side of 2009. Because of course all did not go smoothly with my provider change, and there was much cold sweat and weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth (and an interesting no-DSL-ever-again nightmare). But hey, all's well that ends well, right? And there's time to hunt down and squash the remaining bugs.

Oh internet, oh joy!


Now I can finally burble happily about all the lovely cards I got while I was offline. Thank you so much for the seasonal greetings for Christmas, Solstice and Fruit Cake Day! There are lovely homemade cards, there is a Japanese woodprint, there are snowmen and reindeer and angels and trees, there is lots of glitter, there is a pirate stamp and bilingual greetings. There are even two wonderful stories, one about my favorite angel and demon suffering through a solstice with too much cholesterol and an embarrassing potato debacle, and one about my favorite pair of hunters celebrating the holidays in another galaxy, with socks. :-)))

It's so wonderful to receive cards from all over the world - and it was particularly wonderful this year because it made me feel connected to you all even without a working internet connection. (No, seriously. It's just a habit. I can stop any time I want to.)


I hope you are all having a wonderful time - whether you are celebrating or not!

Hope you get the rest of those bugs. Did you get my card safely? I hope you did. Ooh, sounds like you got a lot of nice cards. I hope you had or are having a wonderful holiday! Take care! :D

I did get your card (though not the rest of those bugs, yet - but no matter, I'm taking my time there and just enjoying being back online)! You were the snowman and the bilingual greetings. :-) Thank you again!
