Glad it worked out for someone. I don't get depressed about these things: they just happen. But it would be nice to have a year in which generally not too much went wrong. I suppose if I really analyse the year and weigh the good against the bad it won't be that much on the side of the latter, but there has definitely been more bad stuff than good.
Jess, did you get your computer screen fixed/replaced? Also, did you get my cat videos? Hope you have a wonderful Christmas (is it Dec 25th over there already?)!!
