			It's late and I should crash, but I haven't had the chance to come on by with Valentine Wishes and thank yous to denyce and mylodon for their lovely V-gifts.This year, so far, has been a bit of a struggle (and will likely continue to be) but as determined as the medical profession is to empty my 'half full' glass, all you guys who know just how stubborn I am, and can rest assured I will prevail.My aim is to get back to posting and sharing all things Leverge, but it may take a bit to train my body and acquire some private time again. For the fun stuff!My family found me over on facebook, where I kept up with a small handful of friends - now they've blossomed over the 50 mark and I am distracting them with old photos, 'cause we've never done the inner sharing kinda stuff. They are good folk, but I don't do 'sick' or 'invalid' even for family. And I won't dump on my lj friends either.So when I come back it will be to chatter about fandom - though I am kinda limited to Leverage these days - or the Olympics - or the stupidity of our government... *grin* There is always something to laugh about! No more crying in my beer.*hugs to all* Here again, Gone again SAM

			I am late with my holiday wishes, but they are sincere just the same, I hope 'life is good' sums it up for all.By way of apology, and for whatever nefarious reasons carirose is teasing us with, behind the cut is a LARGE CK spam. Now, I know many of these won't suit caarirose's purposes, but I tried to throw in a bit of everybody's favourites. I hope I managed that in part, as I grew tired and this post grew too large.Credit goes to killerweasel, badfalcon and elebridith. Along with photographers Natalie J. Case, Vicki Farmer, Beth Riesgraf, Tim Hutton and ruric. Not to forget everyone over on Always Christian. If you can jog my sleepy memory, feel free to give a shout out to those I missed. I may be in hospital for the bulk of January, so this is my New Years gift to you all. Enjoy!( Read more...Collapse )

			More of Sam's Words of Wisdom:Never absently take your immunosupressants while laying down in the dark. You may just grab the wrong bottle and down a handful of gravol. This is sure to go a long way in convincing the neurologist that you don't need to be hospitaized.*headesk* Tags: words of wisdom

			I come to you all, head hanging low and tail between my legs. I just couldn't do it. I powered through the first 10 hospital appointments and then just crashed. There was no way I had the energy to play word games with the neurologist, much less give the oncologist another round of 10 tubes of blood. I give in, I give up, I pulled the covers over my head and ignored the phone. It's too damn cold out there to be leaving my burrow anyway!All this is in aid of apologizing that my holiday cards will come wishing you all a Merry Ukranian Christmas and a Happy Chinese New Year. What can I say? I've had all the cards and the Christmas stamps since November and still enough Christmas cheer to put inside, but they aren't going to all make it through the post in time. I do so love sending out cards though! So I won't be defeated. What energy I can still summon will be spent on holiday cheer - and the last 6 hospital appointments can darn well wait until January. Someone bring on the eggnog, the hot chocolate and peppermint schapps - I got me some cards to mail!Tags: christmas cards and holiday cheer!, hospitals

			Dear memomegirl, whenever my heart feels heavy I remember the quotation by Ralph Waldo."To laugh often and love much, to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the apbrobation of honest critics and to endure the betrayl of false friends; to apprecite beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exhultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have led a successful life." And so I honour your Mother's passing. May you and yours find some peace amidst the sorrow.{{LOVE & HUGS}}Tags: honouring life

			For those of you who shared my enthusiasm for the early Fringe Festival Curcuits, you may recall Joe Bird from "Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie". Funny, warm and irreverant, Joe was also an established musician and presided over open mic nights in his home town of Edmonton.So hoist a brew in your neighbourhood Irish Pub and toast the "equal opportunity hugger" that was Joe Bird. You were taken from us too soon, but I just know you are this mischievous angel watching over many a shoulder.Tags: fringe festivals, joe bird, photography

			Is there an unwritten feline law that requires one or more cat to sleep across the leg you just smacked into the hard wooden table, leaving a goose egg the size of a golf ball? And the kneading, don't forget the kneading, 'cause that dislodges the ice pack you keep trying to use as first aid...I love my cats. ^^Tags: the cats

			I'm home - for what looks like a full week. YES!! Hopefully I can catch up with you all in the next few days. I know I missed b_s_n_m's birthday. I hope it was all you wanted it to be! May my American friends, who celebrated Thanksgiving, be overflowing with turkey and things to be thankful for. My heart and hugs go out to poisontaster. I know what loss is like on a personal level and hope you have people around you to help you heal.I came home to sort through my mail and got my first Christmas Card. I'm going to share it with elebridith because the card was full of sparkles and looked like this:I'll be back to catch up. I have all my cards and stamps and am excited about sending them out! I hope I have everyone's correct addresses. I know I've missed everyone's card call out. Perhaps I'll get a chance to track you all down.Tomorrow's another day. *mmwhaa* Tags: christmas cards, loss, owls
