I received these cards early November, but I traveled to Germany and Norway to bury a friend and I've been very neglectful of keeping in touch. I even missed the Holiday Card exchange AND some card exchange requests on here, so I'm going to have a lonely holiday season. :( But for those of you who have reached out, I'm very grateful. Thank you so much. This has been such a difficult year. And it's ending on yet another crap event: I have shoulder surgery on 30 December for a torn rotator cuff. This means I'll be spending a few months in a sling. YAY. -_-

So. On to thank yous, which correspond to photos in this Instagram post:

(and feel free to check out my Instagram for Norway and Germany photos, too)

u/mikepenpal6 x2 for your always-cheerful cards. I hope your well-planned Christmas is going smoothly! I'm going to be very behind when I return home next week.

u/lonelytwatwaffle x2 for the Halloween card and postcard - I hope you have sent me your address, because I am going to need to send you some housewarming cheer for your new digs. <3

u/juicyjuicyjuice (I really hope I got your username correct) for the card, and I hear you - I'm tired of this pandemic, too! I would love to hear more about your buy-nothing group, so please get in touch when you can! Also, geochemistry is damn impressive - be proud of that!

u/Lotu5m3i for the pretty card, drawings, stickers, and ribbon! The stickers were quickly given to my friend's daughter-in-law, who went into hyper-adorable mode when she saw them. I couldn't help myself, so I wish I had taken the photo BEFORE I gave them to her. Rest assured you made a young Norwegian lady very, very happy. :) And MESSY HANDWRITING? PFFT. :P Your card is so sweet, and I would LOVE to share recipes with you! I'm also very impressed with your career plans; you are very ambitious and wonderful. Please keep in touch... I hope to hear from you again!
