Happy New Year, Buffistas!!

I spent the weekend catching up with old friends and playing Jan-May of Pandemic Legacy Season 2. (When we played Season 1 with these friends, we lived next door and played more or less one game each month. Now that we're 3 hours away, we managed to cram 8 games - Feb and Mar we had to play twice, plus the prologue tutorial round - into a day and a half!)

It seems the thing I was doing for work that I needed info from others on is not going to get addressed today, so as soon as I pay all the invoices I have, I think I will do more cards and then read for the rest of the day.

The DH has a cold, so we were in bed at midnight and he was already asleep. We did go out for breakfast today, and sheesh, it's cold.

I had a party, albeit a small one. And then brunch. And...uh....yeah, that's it.

lentil soup, grilled cheese sandwich, and a sliced tomato.

that'll do for a cold day at home lunch.

hivemind - has anyone use a debt consolidator? My mind has been racing about best ways to tackle my stupid credit card debt head-on.

Happy New Years my people!

So last night ended on a pretty meh note, but today has been uneventful. I packed up a box of my eldest sister's photos and mementos to be put up in the attic until I don't even know. I'm sure I should have thrown away more but it's hard to throw away old photos and yearbooks, especially when you know and love the person. But I found some - ugh -

Folks, here's my start-the-year-off-right advice to you: don't save mementos of bad memories

Eh, not summing up. I am currently trying to avoid an unpleasant task I've so far avoided for eight years. Gods willing it may be nine.

Outside decorations are down, exception wreath, which stays up till Epiphany--or Old Christmas, whichever comes last, as do the candles in the front windows and all the interior stuff.

Poking at husband to inventory power tools and firearms. I doubt that will include each item's dollar worth, but at least with proper ID I can find current value should I ever need to sell.

I'm doing the same for my tarot decks (currently 134 tarot, 4 rune, 4 I Ching, 2 Ogham, and 17 Oracle decks), locating and making note of matching books and stored original boxes where applicable, and listing my collector and artist bears, with suggestions of secondary market outlets should he wish to sell.

He's got his 2018 wall calendars up, and I'm dragging my feet on updating my planner pages and storing 2017 with past records.

Happy New Year, Best Beloved Buffistas!

ohh maybe 2018 will be the year my dad will sell some of his guns. That would be good.

Well, 2017 sucked. Starting off 2018 immensely depressed.
