Happy New year

What the actual F?

January 17, 2026 by ds83473@gmail.com

I think the fabric of the universe has been rent asunder. The weather has been nuts – it can’t stay cold and keeps going up and down. On Monday it was in the 40s, up to 50° on Tuesday, then the wind rose and temperature dropped to the 20s by Wednesday morning and we got … [Read more…]

The creativity of dinner

January 1, 2026 by ds83473@gmail.com

This one’s for everyone, including me, who cooks dinner most nights. And if you’re like me, I’m sure you sometimes wonder why you do it, but most of the time it’s just so ingrained that doubt hardly enters. Your internal monologue, like mine, is largely pondering what’s in the fridge, what can you make with … [Read more…]

Not the most Christmasy Christmas

December 29, 2024 by ds83473@gmail.com

Somehow we didn’t get around to doing a lot of things we usually do at Christmas. We never brought down the lite brite tree. and 2017 We didn’t have lights on the front porch, so here’re some animated ones. We went to Al & Emma & Jasper’s on Christmas day for Chinese take out for … [Read more…]

New Year’s Weekend with Jasper

January 2, 2024 by ds83473@gmail.com

On Friday I moved in at Al & Emma’s to take care of Jasper while they went to a wedding. So a kind of different last days of 2023 than I typically do this time of year, although I did do some of my “normal” stuff like making small end of year donations to various … [Read more…]

New Year’s Day Observed

January 2, 2023 by ds83473@gmail.com

Another day to hibernate – or so I hoped. I went to bed at 10:30 and kind of read and dozed until 11:00, then gave up and took my glasses off. I slept until 1:30, woke up parched and thirsty. I’m still kind of stuffy from my cold, and getting really dried out in the … [Read more…]

Second to last day of 2022

December 31, 2022 by ds83473@gmail.com

Well, let’s make that the last day of 2022; I started this the 30th and didn’t get very far. My plan was that me and my bum knee would accompany Mark on his walk – that went OK, 4.5 miles. I walked sans orthotics, since I have not been wearing them for about the last … [Read more…]

Bye, bye, 2021

December 31, 2021 by ds83473@gmail.com

I’m officially on winter break at the moment – I took vacation on Wednesday (when we went to Chicago to see a live production of Frozen, that despite my trepidation, and having to get up at 6:30 on a vacation day, turned out to be quite fun) and Thursday, and today is a paid holiday … [Read more…]

Starting a new year

January 2, 2021 by ds83473@gmail.com

I’m hoping that the superstition I have always sorta believed, that as your New Year’s Day goes, so goes the new year for you, doesn’t always come true. Because I didn’t have the greatest day yesterday, New Year’s Day. On our walk the day before, the morning of NYE, I fell on some ice and … [Read more…]

The end of 2020

December 30, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

This is the nowhere week between Christmas and New Year’s, that I usually like, probably based on when it was a school holiday when I was a kid, when we did fun stuff like sledding, and later when I was an older kid, in college, it was also fun, being back home and seeing who … [Read more…]

I guess the holidays are officially over

January 3, 2020 by ds83473@gmail.com

And the news and the weather are equally disturbing. And depressing. The light brite tree went back up to the attic yesterday (Jan. 2). On New Years Day when I went up to get the plastic bin it’s kept in, there was a big pile of snow on the attic floor. We have an 11-year-old … [Read more…]
