How is everyone doing, and how were your secular holidays? Did you do anything special? Do any of you celebrate Xmas at all with non-Jewish friends? What do you do about enlightening non-Jews about Chanukah (especially the whole "it isn't a Jewish equivalent to Xmas" thing...)?
Did ok here. Been ill with a weirdo condition since erev Yom Kippur that has helped me with appetite (as in I am not hungry as much), so I've lost about 4 pounds in the last two weeks - bonus! I don't know whether that would've happened if I wasn't sick and on the meds I now take. (I'm making too much spinal/brain fluid & have to take meds to bring that down for at least two months, maybe more.)
Anyway, just checking in. Also, are any of you thinking of going to the convention? I am planning to go for the whole weekend and just enjoy the heck out of my time with other bandsters.
Shalom chevre!
