With all the grit I have been saying about myself and others, I have alienated a good sister of mine. I hope she forgives me my madness. She has been wonderful support in the last few years, while Brian and I were collapsing as a couple. Sending me christmas money and, especially, super ORIGINAL and super funny xmas cards. She stopped answering my emails a while back (May, I think). I still feel like I owe her some niceness so I will send my two collections in english to her.
