No New Year's Eve parties for us this year. ![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee had her wisdom teeth out last Friday, and while they said she might be mostly recovered after a few days, it's taking her quite a while, and I don't want to leave her alone. But the more proximate reason is that the weekend before last, I came down with what I thought was food poisoning that completely knocked me out on Sunday. A couple days later I was feeling better and thought everything had passed...and then Laila had a fever and some stomach troubles. And now sashagee has the same thing plus most of what she can eat is dairy (because it's soft), so she's having a very rough time. Today is the first day she really left better since Friday, but it's obvious that we had the norovirus that's going around. We don't want to spread that to anyone else at any party we go to, so a quiet celebration at home it is.
I appreciate how that article calls it "wretched." Stick it to the norovirus!
I did beat Citizen Sleeper, though, the final game in my twelve games in twelve months goal. Review tomorrow or the day after. Now next year, to relax and play some longer games I've been holding off on.
Because of that, I’m behind on my 年賀状 (nengajō, "new year's cards"). I normally at least have a bunch of them addressed by now but it's going to have to wait until tomorrow. I can spend a chunk of the day doing that and then take them out and put them in the mailbox to be picked up the next day. It's later than I like, but not too late--in Japan, 年賀状 are all held by the mail and then delivered on New Year's Day. We have no such custom here, so I'll send them out and they'll be delivered when they make it, with another load to take to work and pass out there. It's fortunate that I’m always the last to leave. And the last to come in, don't get the wrong idea.
Have a Happy New Year everyone!
