Looks like it is time to play catchup. I've been kind of a recluse lately, due to a combination of stress and some continuing family issues. Mostly I needed some personal time to stay sane.
The holidays went well enough, though I definitely was feeling pretty distant this year. Quite a few of my friends and their families went out of their way to invite me to join in their celebrations, which I really do appreciate. But I always feel out of place, even surrounded by the kindest and most accommodating of people. Honestly, a few even seemed freaked out by the idea that I had no problem doing without. Still, it's good to know they care enough to worry.
I've been continuing to practice my Mandarin. To be honest, without the audio aids they included, it would probably be nearly impossible to get anywhere on my own. I am feeling more confident about it.
That's about it for now.
