I've told the story of my violent and excruciating reaction to the stronger antibiotic I was put on to put down the obstinant leg infection so many times now, I've no stomach to expand on it here. Just may it be marked that yesterday was possibly number one in suckiest days of 2005 for me. I gain a small comfort from the impending end of the Christmas season. The end of the year marks a shift in the strange attractor that is this House too. Then again, at the end of every recent year, I've said that December bodes heavily on the new year. It's some classic drama on my part. Anyway, Happy Holidays to my immense body of readers, all dozen or so of you.
