Bad Santa!

Hi all,

It's 7:13 in the a.m., my belly's growling for shredded wheat, and I need to take Lily for a walk and then head off to work. (We did take a nice long walk last night though so I might go short this a.m.!!). But I thought I'd take a minute to say that to those of you, and there are many, to whom I have not called or written in a while, I'm sorry. Things were crazy in the few weeks before I left Khartoum and since I've been back, time has been busy or I've been asleep. I was hoping to get a lot done last night but after my walk with Lily I just ate dinner and pooped out. My main goal today is to get to the post office to send the present that one of my Khartoum colleagues sent back for his son!!


So, no one's getting holiday cards this year, many of you won't get anything in the mail from me until after the holidays when I have time to write cards and go to the post office. It's a busy time for all, and for some, this posting will be impersonal and insufficient. But, even if I don't write or call, I do think about you, your spouses and kids (as applicable of course!) all of the time.

So please know that even if I don't have a chance to talk to you before Christmas, or maybe even right after, I'm sending you my warmest holiday greetings and a huge hug. I'd love to talk to you...and I'll call....soon.

Miss you!
Hugs and kisses to all,
Jane
(and Lily)
