nursedarryMore wonderfulness to report!
The Bartender's Padawan over at Ho State University drew my name for the Seekrit Santa (which I'd forgot, which is just pathetic, seeing as I'm the one who assigns them!). She, with the help of my Georgian - he's dead, Jim - doctor got me an assortment of fun stuff!
The dynamic duo of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snarkyscorp and _aurora_sky sent me the cutest and bestest Teddy bear and art! My phone takes shitty pictures (yes, blame the tools), so this doesn't do either gift justice. Both the bear and the boy have purple hair - squee! Thank you so much, ladies!
I got two beautiful cards: a homemade and personalised one from the talentedeyesemerald and one with the cutest Christmas Antipodean animals from brissygirl. Thank you!!! And ladyoneill, I got a gorgeous card from you parents, too:)
ACK - almost forgot, the beautifulnoeon sent me wonderful Chanukah stickers, as well as kid-themed stickers which are now fixtures in my house, on my furniture, and on my clothing:) Thank you, darling, and thank you for all of your wonderful help with embracing my inner emo.
cassie_black12 outdid herself and sent me a whole load of things I can't possibly live without! This includes chocolate (frogs, of course), an iTunes voucher, a bank shaped like The Stig's head - yes, can you believe it? - iced tea, and a snake plush toy (to wrap around my lion plush toy, of course).
I also got my One Day In the Life... book, which is not only easy on the eyes, it's also incredibly inspiring. Guh!
I always make do-able NY's resolutions (like always untying my shoes before taking them off, never again having a VPL), and this year is no different. I'm determined to do a couple of things:
1. Find something that I enjoy about my job each day. I don't have a dream job but I do have a well-paying job which challenges me, despite nearly putting me to sleep (Infection Control being at the pinnacle of ennui-inducing nursing specialties).
2. Update my LJ Sticky Post page with recs and links to giftfics/commishes I've got. I've saved most of them, but a few are on my old computer and didn't get transferred before it d.i.e.d. If you've written/made me giftfic/art and the link is handy, could you please post it here in the comments so I can pimp it permanently? (Oooh, alliteration.) Many thanks!
I'll wrap this up by saying if you're thinking about attending, get over to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

I'm happy you liked the card, plus I'm happy you could interpret my handwritten scribbling, *g*
Happy New Year to you, my lovely friend!
*HUGS*
(Btw, you're lucky, you know. Soon I will inherit such a vast fortune it won't enable me to make the long dreamed of tour of the beautiful coasts of UK. *g* So I won't get on your nerves in person next year.)
