On Christmas

Well, it's Christmas Eve, traditionally a quiet time for me, but this year even quieter. Yes, I'm here, still at St. Andrews, simultaneously enjoying and going stir crazy from the absolute quiet that has descended over Gannochy House in the past few days. It's probably a good thing I"ve been taking it easy, Friday night at the Bop I tweaked my bad knee, and that's led to all sorts of pain. Megan will be here Wednesday, Boxing Day, or as you Americans know it, the day after Christmas. I'm so very excited to see a familiar face. I dearly miss my flatmates. Since posting last, Ash, my fiery red-headed Scottish flatmate has become my closest friend here. It's worked out quiet well. Thanks to Ash, I finally feel at home here, at home someplace without all sorts of safety nets to fall back on. And that means more than I can put in words. I hope everyone is having a nice holiday. I send my love to you all!
