Another Year Over.... A New One Just Begun
Posted 2nd January 2011 at 02:51 PM by eleanorigby
Eh. Here I am. Here am I. Another year older; another holiday done and gone. NYE has never been a big deal for me, even when I was young and cute. It's a good night to stay home and do cozy things. I may get myself a new jigsaw puzzle.
Things like that make me wonder if I am prematurely aged and ready for the nursing home. Then again, fuck it all...
Now it's Sunday, January 3 and I face a 6 day work week. It's turned cold here. The freak thaw we had melted every last scrap of snow, and while the sun is nice to see, the cold is deep and bites into your bones. I find I am half looking forward to work and half dreading it. Having the college kids home this year is not like previous years: I will only say this here, but I will not be sad to see them return to school. I am less and less engaged in their daily concerns and I find that refreshing. I would really like some time for me, just me, to with what I please. Some day, soon. I hope.
I think I'll become a hermit once I retire. It sounds a peaceful life.
