I've been doing not much more than sleeping since I got home.  I did manage to stay awake Tuesday night for NCIS, but after that blotto.

When I manage to stay awake for awhile, and realize I'm hungry, I manage to find a tidbit, but actually, I'm not all that hungry.  All I want to do is z-z-z-z-z.  I suppose it's the body's demand for healing time rather than running-around time.

I read the newspaper piecemeal.  Manage to get thru the funnies and the puzzles, then it's back to bed.  Couple hours later, I read another section of the paper then it's etc., etc., etc.

KK keeps me pretty good company, but I don't see much of Banshee.  If I fall asleep in my recliner it's six of one and half dozen of the other which cat will be snoozing on my lap.  I'm gradually catching up on my email, so there shouldn't be any more bounced mail, in case any of you have been trying to write me.  I'll leave an occasional comment, but I'm mostly reading and deleting.  Except for Allimom.  I have to go back and get an item at a time.

I'm managing to stay up awhile and IM with my sister, but she did have to call Megan and find out what was going on, as I was sleeping thru our usual IM time.  Doing better about that now.

The weather reminds me of when I first moved to Sacramento (not that I've been out in it, you understand), but it's been a warm rain, not the bone-chilling stuff raiding down from Alaska.  And lots of wind!  When I first came here from LA (in January, of course), I went walking in the rain because it was warm not wintry.

I've missed every festival since Rosh Hashanah.  But at least I'm able to light my Chanukah candles now.  Such a beautiful Festival of Lights.  "A miracle was performed there."

So, I'm on the road to recovery.  Not as fast as I would like, but on the road.  I haven't had my belly sliced open since my appendectomy a hundred years ago, and that was just a 2-finger opening, which stretched somewhat after three pregnancies, but never mind that.  Anyway, I'm getting there.  And I thank you all for your prayers and concerns.  You're a loving bunch of people.

Shalom
