Not sure really what to say here. Made it to see my Aunt before she died, spent a couple really difficult days with her until she died on Christmas Day around noon. It was something of a miracle, because the doctors didn't think that she'd ever speak again or be coherent, but the first two days, between heavy doses of morphine, she understood what we were saying, laughed at the right moments and told us that she loved us.
After that though, it was so hard to watch. Really not a good Christmas season, this year.
I failed at sending Christmas cards out, just didn't happen. Felt terrible about it too because I got a couple really lovely cards from you guys. I'll be better next year.
My external hard drive with 9 years worth of stuff on it also chose to die right before I left. I have to pay for data recovery - an expensive thing indeed. It was the cherry on top of the fucked-up December I've had.
An uncle from the other side of the family was hospitalized with congenital heart failure right after I got back from Virginia. He's now doing better and expected to be out of the hospital soon, but still...
I think I really need 2013 to be over now.
