I think I will join Lucy’s sentiments – even though I’ve only experienced about 18 hours of it, this year seems suspiciously like any other year and not new at all! One of my favorite Peanuts quotes.
Since I got all the decorations taken down and tucked away yesterday, I spent today getting the house back to rights. Mostly it was cleaning, but I also did three loads of laundry and tackled a few little chores that I had been putting off through the holidays.
As much as I am NOT a fan of snow, because I was staying in all day I enjoyed seeing the ground and the trees and bushes all covered. The neighbor’s dark green door wreath with a bright red bow looked especially festive. And the azalea outside my living room window was perfectly dusted in a white dress. But it didn’t last long.
I decided – as I took the trash out this afternoon – that my new garbage can is big enough to be an addition on my house. I can’t reach the bottom, so here’s hoping I don’t drop anything in there or I’ll have to get a ladder and crawl in! It’s a super sturdy, huge sized and very very nice garbage can.
When I was cleaning I realized that there was a suitcase that I kept extra blankets in that I didn’t look at for winter blankets. I found another one! It’s a new one that I bought after Christmas last year and forgot about. So I added it to the rest.
Birthdays today: Paul Revere 1737; Betsy Ross 1752
Peanuts Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW January 2nd is:
National Cream Puff Day; National Buffet Day; National Personal Trainer Awareness Day; National Science Fiction Day.
Not a fan of any of that, basically. But Aunt Darlene would have been at New City Buffet in a heartbeat! I still miss her, and half expect to get a call from her to meet her there! If you are going back to work tomorrow, stay calm. God bless.
