Just FYI, in lieu of sending holiday cards this year (or spending Christmas in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary), I thought I'd give something back to the Somerville Foundation which, like you, supported me during a very chaotic year. This foundation supports adults born with a heart condition. I've signed up as a Helpline Volunteer and Medical Proof-Reader.

It's strange to think that without my mitral valve packing up, I might never have known I'd been born with Partial Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection (PAPVC), and I was fortunate to have both repaired at the same time, exactly eight months ago. Thank you again to everyone for all your prayers and kind words.

As I feel very fortunate to be in good health THIS holiday season, I'd like to do what I can to help others be able to say the same next year.

I think of you all the time and wonder how you're doing. ♥
And what you're doing? Is a brilliant idea. :)

EXCELLENT idea. I am all for prezzies in the form of charitable donations and am happy to forego a card for such a good cause. You are a Good Person. Despite your cougar-like fondness for young Quidditch players.

I thought that would be "...because of my cougar-like fondness..." but whatever, the HSU Charter seems to change daily.

SO sorry, you're QUITE right! I misread p. 25 of the Faculty Brochure, where it clearly states that...well, I won't repeat it here, but it's clearly applicable in your case.

Is that neutered Dementor still hanging about, BTW?

Yup, and still addicted to Laffy Taffy.

Yes, best not to quote the Brochure - it works too much like a book of spells. And in this place, that ain't a good thing!

"Don't say 'sex' in front of the Brochure" ?

That's really cool that you're volunteering in that way. I know I'm not alone in feeling very happy and relieved that you have made such a wonderful recovery. ♥
And that is a really wild icon!

Thank you! And yes, that icon is just...bizarre/crazy/wicked-cool. I like my "hot_man_with_a_sternotomy_scar" one too :D

Thank you!

To quote K Costner in "Field of Dreams", I could use all the good karma I can get.

Have a great holiday!

It's real sweet of you to help out like that. Good luck. I'd make a donation if I had ANY money right now, but I need to get out of debt first *scratches back of head* xD
