I told my cousin that I would not be attending her xmas party. She made me feel pretty bad with all of her drama about missing me. I explained that I am going into the hospital on Tuesday and am not going to risk getting ill with a cold or any thing. When my mouth started to cramp I handed the phone to my wife who kindly wrapped that conversation up for me. I know how precious every day is - I wake up with a chuckle and a smile that I am alive. I hug my wife and cats first thing every day but I would not mind fast forwarding through christmas. This time of year can be torture. Thanks for letting me ramble. Good luck avoiding the blues. I wish you the very best chance of happiness and health.
