Thursaday: Learned that Christmas in New Jersey was cancelled. My uncle is suffering a relapse from an illness he had, and was too sick for company. My aunt is still sketchy on exactly what happened. Spent Christmas Eve with my roommate, Katy, and Rich. Egg nog, Chinese food, small stocking exchanges, and movies (pilot for Chuck, Ten Inch Hero). Ten Inch Hero deserves more discussion, but I'm too tired/sick to provide more details right now.

Friday: Baked banana oatmeal cookies, went to Salem for the Bunn family Christmas. My cookies were a big hit. It was nice being around festive people for the holidays, and got to catch up with a few seldom seen freiends.

Saturday: Avatar (awesome effects, simple story), then two hoiday parties. Fun times were had at both, the second one was a stranger but interesting vibe.

Sunday: Painting, dinner with Mathew, Movies with Vanessa and Johanna. I also learned that my uncle, the monseigneur, passed away that morning. He was in his 90's and he just basically shut down. The funeral is Wednesday, but I don't know if I can make it.

Monday: Morning exercises aborted due to extreme exhaustion. When I found I couldn't even read on the T w/out wanting to close my eyes, I suspected I might be getting sick. The aches and sneezing that have increased during the day support this theory.
