for me, if no one else.
Thanks everyone for the comments. I have been a super slacker in replying. Please forgive me, and I will attempt to do better.
And just so I remember, this.

At night, the ice weasels come
Always a useful phrase.
We had a lovely Thanksgiving with K's awesome aunt and uncle. A little trip, but not too far. Thanksgiving dinner had 7 people and 4 dogs, and these were not small dogs. And not a very big house either, but it all worked out, except my stupid cold (although I was not the only one with a cold). They have a hot tub and a tiny cute little sauna which honestly felt FANTASTIC when I was sick. Using the hot tub seems to be more effective for relaxing all those back muscles than all those hours of stretching I do. sigh.
There's much going on now and I'm exhausted. The love monkey has been lovely and cooked me dinner or taken me out. I'm on call for work twice this month, including Christmas week (oh please let it be quiet) because there's so few people left.
I don't have the energy to look for another job right now and I turned down the other one (the offer was... not good. I'm tired of getting crap for vacation time. I should work for another UK company. Also, dear corporations, you are fooling NO ONE with your combined sick leave/vacation. It's a transparent attempt to cut vacation hours EVEN MORE. bite me.) Whatever. If I got laid off tomorrow I'd probably take a month off and just stare at walls, when I wasn't busy with all the other stuff. Everything non-essential is getting shifted off to cope with later. I got a poinsettia because I think they're pretty and that's going to be about it for decorating. Maybe I will think about a wreath from Trader Joe's.
Anyway. Happy holidays to you all. I hope you and yours are doing well.
