Just when you thought it was safe to come back into medlab...

[x_bartlet]

I'm back! Ahahaha! No donut shall be safe!

Why yes, it was rather a long drive with hellish traffic, why do you ask? Although the Monty Python CD my brother Joe gave me probably hasn't helped with the perception of a nice, stable mood.

My family all say hi, and wish everyone a happy holiday. Jubilee, I have gifts here for you from all the Bartlets. Kurt, Alison, Haroun, there's some stuff amongst the metric ton in the back of my car - thank goodness I didn't bring Carmen is all I can say. There's also something for Moira and Hank that looks suspiciously baby-related, but that can wait until they get back.

And Lorna? Recipes. Mom's cookies, plus the pumpkin pie and the Ultra Secret Stuffing Mix, which has been handed down by at least three generations of her family. And a proposal of marriage from Dad after that cheesecake.

but but...you PROMISED!

Promised what exactly, kiddo? If it was to return with chocolate, that I've done. Carlie loaded the car down with scary amounts of her home made Christmas chocolate...

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

no, you promised you'd bring Carlie!

Jubilee told me about her. need to meet.

but chocolate is a reasonable substitute for the moment.

No point with most of you in Scotland for New Year's, is there? But I have a cast iron promise that she will visit before the end of January - well, a threat, really, since she'll do horrible things to me if she doesn't get to come...

Scotland? Who's in Scotland?

I could go get her? And take you both to Scotland?

You DO realize I've been pulling medlab shifts and going to Scotland, right?

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

*blinks* Since when have you had the range to do that? Scotland's across the Atlantic, kiddo - I thought you were restricted to shorter ranges than that?

And Carlie wants to meet everyone else as well, and Mom would have a pink fit if I took her to Scotland willy-nilly. Besides, I'm on duty that night.

Nathan gave me pictures, I tried. It's as far as Montana, I think.

It is easier with practice. I mean, Xaviers --> someplace is always harder than someplace --> Xavier's, but I can do it.

but how can I help watch Cain if I'm in Scotland? and of course, there is the obligatory XMas with my mom *rolls eyes*

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

Wow - I hadn't realised your range was up that far yet. Well done, Pixie. :)

You can help Cain after you get back from Scotland - there's no shortage of volunteers to cover New Year's - you are allowed a vacation as well, kiddo.

Recipes? GLEE! Utter glee. Gimme gimme!

Re: *has possibly had too much cider*

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

In your pigeon hole as we speak, oh gleeful one... :)

Re: *has possibly had too much cider*

[x-polarisstar.livejournal.com]

Hurrah! Recipes, yay!

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

suresure! Cain just LOVES Vanity Fair magazine btw ;)

*perks up* Gifts?

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Yay! Did Carlie like the Bunneh? *comes to find*

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

She did, very much. I nearly didn't get to bring her back. *grins*

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

You doin' anything for New Years? I'm mostly going to be hanging around the mansion.

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

Watching Cain, mostly. I'll come and find you at some stage during the night - it's probably not a good idea for you and he to be in the same room just yet...

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. It's still cool for me to be cleaning up around the boathouse though, right? Considering I'm around there most of the time visiting Gumbo anyhow.

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

*nods* That's fine.

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

Coolness. Did I tell you? I totally made it through an entire routine on the uneven bars yesterday, without even one mistake.

Looks like all the practice is paying off. Totally getting all my upper body strength back and my spatial awareness is rocking.

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-madelyn.livejournal.com]

Well done, firecracker. How's the arm holding up? Any pain or strain I should know about?

Re: *perks up* Gifts?

[x-jubilee.livejournal.com]

It's doing okay. I stop when it starts getting shakey, so no strain to report.

I've been running in the mornings after Tai Chi as well, so I'm getting the cardio fitness back as well.

Helps when there's not a lot of people around and there's no classes to worry about being late to.

You're making me feel tired just by reading this... *grins* Watch the trails when you're running, they're quite slippy where there isn't snow to deal with as well, and sprained ankles really suck.
