Declaring early so I can be "dashing through the snow". 22/21 please cathybird. Thank you.

I intend to celebrate with some moderate drinking over the festive season but will try to squeeze in a couple more AF days this year. X3

Stayed off the beer Monday but had a drink last night so 6/10 for me. No plans to drink tonight but tomorrow is OH's birthday so will almost certainly have a (budgeted and planned) drink then.4

DH has a chest infection (definitely NOT Covid), and is feeling rather washed out. He has lifelong COPD (bronchiectasis) but manages it extremely well. He takes a daily antibiotic, and now also has a stronger antibiotic, just for a week.
