on non-delivery
No, the song never materialised, did it? And since it'd be bad luck to do it now, it'll have to wait for next year. Before electing to have me punished, please understand that I was in a bit of a bad way this holiday, laid low and in bed with the flu from the 24th to the 27th. While all the celebrations went on without me, making it the first Christmas I've 'missed', it was still kind of nice to hear my family and closest relatives making merry downstairs, and having the occasional mad person come to partake of my tainted atmosphere. I was really well looked after on each and every day, so it's hard to feel gloomy, even if it wasn't an ideal situation; now just hacking up a lot of mucus, which isn't beautiful (the condition, not the mucus, though...), but otherwise starting to totter around comfortably enough; it feels good not to feel so sick.

Ack. Much sympathy, babe.
Here's wishing you a speedy return to your usual vivaciousness.
Glad to hear you are up and about. On the silverlining side, you're up and about just in time for New Year's!
Get well soon.
Hello, Stairs! I used to read your blog avidly back when I was blogging as 'Sarsparilla Vanilla' (think I found it through Blorgy, a year ago), and somehow lost the link when I switched sites and pc's. A trawl through old comments reveals what I've been missing.
Wonderful to read your words again. I'm sorry you missed Christmas too - know the feeling. :)
Oh Stairs, the 4th quarter hasn't been going too well for you, has it? I'm glad you are feeling better. Have a safe New Year.
Sorry to hear you've been ill. Glad to hear you're better.
Do you know any Russian Orthodox Christmas carols?
Would some saag paneer, or biryani and gulab jamuns help any? I'm a very good cook, and would happily can and mail you something if you'd like. Pakistani food is certainly spicy enough to deal with that pesky mucus.
Hey Stairs, are you still there? We haven't read anything for a while...
Boy, if my birthday went by I'd sure want to blog something about it.
Just saying.
It was your birthday? Happy birthday!
Stairs, come back!
Hey Stairs, come back! Where are you? Is everything ok?
Methinks someone has a new boyfriend to keep them too busy to blog.
Just saying.
For a boyfriend to be the cause of my silence, you'd expect the silence to have begun at another time (given what you know of my personal life!); it's more the finishing-my-phd-whilst-paying-rent-on-an-overdraft, and all the unpleasantries that that entails that is keeping me elsewhere. I miss putting up the occasional post, but next to the work at hand, blogging gets little priority.
Thanks for the concern peeps; I'm as well as could be expected! :)
So any boyfriend would be purely incidental? :P
