Was Santa good to you?

Thank goodness the festive holiday is almost over and I'm back to work tomorrow.
Don't get me wrong - I love Christmas but it somehow seemed to sneak up on me this year and I wasn't in the least bit ready for it.

Update

I've got a new job as a clerical assistant in Social Work for the HomeCare team. I don't have to deal with so much telephone calls from irate customers so think it will be far less stressful. It is still quite intense and there is a lot to do and learn but so far so good. I have been there 3 weeks now and the girls (Tina & Helen are lovely). Its only a small office, but busy and is only 10mins walking distance from home.

Still struggling on with SAD. I have an appointment in Jan with a phycologist to discuss my medications etc. My Dr things the medication I have been on for my depression for at least 5 years, could be the cause of the problems with my low white blood count. So it is still low and I have very little immune system. Needless to say , I seem to have had the cold constantly. I can't just be taken off these tablets and will have to be weened off them before starting others. I'm hopeful we can start to look into alternatives in Jan.

Other than that things are ok. I feel fortunate and lucky for the things I do have, (family, friends, etc).

Thanks to everyone who follows this blog for your well wishes.

I wish each and everyone a better, more wonderful 2009!
