Happy New Year! It’s been a busy few days leading up to today, so fortunately today has been a quiet mostly uneventful day. I never make New Year’s resolutions (as a retired old goat, I feel no need to mess with perfection). I suppose if I DID, I would resolve to write on this website at least once a day (nope), maybe once a week (wrong again), once a month (don’t be silly hughes), okay, then once a season. But since it’s not a resolution, if I do do get a seasonal posting done, great, if not, that’s groovy too.
Our New Year’s Party last night started out around 5-ish with feeding cats, then eating … I had some fresh home-made vegetable soup that my sister-in-law made (yummy!). The Mrs had pizza, which looked and smelled good, but that is not within the parameters of my dietary universe. My endocrinologist has forbidden pizza (way too many carbs, and cheese). I use to eat pizza a lot, both in frequency and in quantity. Now a days, I might nibble a bite once a year. Anyway, sometime before our feeding frenzy, we played an online game competition for 45 minutes, then chowed down (I’m not sure if soup CAN be chow-downed), and then popped in our personally owned blue ray disc (into the BR player) of “When Harry Met Sally”. Seems appropriate since the grand finale takes place on NYE. After the movie finished, I tidied things up a bit, then went to bed. I am not a midnight kinda guy these days. Guess I got plenty of midnight shifts when I worked in a steel mill back in the late 70’s and later while a public servant from the mid 80’s through the early 2000’s. I am still an early riser, usually about 5 am, which thrills the cats who get to eat an early first breakfast, then nap, have a 2nd breakfast a couple hours later, then take a nap, 3rd & final breakfast when the Mrs gets up….
So, that was my NYE, 2024 style. The Mrs did stay up until midnight I think, but I was out for the count so not sure if she sang, and banged pots and pans, and lit off fireworks. At least she didn’t awaken me if she did any of that in the house.
Hope your 2024 is happy and healthy. I am going to do everything I can to make sure it is here in OUR household!
